If you are interested in following how I will move forward with this site my latest blog post goes into one main strategy. The main feature is its use of gradually transitioning colors across page sections. There has been an enormous amount of illustrating and writing is taking place. For more regular notifications of this projects work I recommend following my Bluesky profile.

I've kept busy working on the site through 2025. Now as we move into the Fall I am starting to shift my mindset over to how I can promote it. At the start of the new year a YouTube channel reviewed sixteen of my poems, I can't thank Jonah enough that feedback it was incredibly helpful! I rewrote many of the poems a multitude of times and I still continue to tweak them going back and forth between free verse and rhyme scheme.

This work had been titled after months of the year but I have been very busy switching it over to a color theme. The months of the school year concept didn't really work. So with two section concepts going on at the same time I decided to stick with the theme which was working the best. Another advantage of doing this was that the sidebar which accessed through "hamburger menu" in the upper left has a much more understandable for navigation.

This site started out with content that was swaying back and forth between poetry and prose. The more I worked on it in 2025 I began to realize that this prose that built out most of the page layouts got in the way of these increasing longer bodies of poetry. The poems were starting to group together by similar topics, or in some cases, smaller writings were getting linked together into longer poems.

My thought at the time was that perhaps the prose was there to give the work a more overall structure. As if the poems themselves functioned as addendums to what I thought of at the time as the main body of work. At some point a switch happened. Maybe it was when I saw that each line of a poem could be so densely put into just what I wanted it to say that the long paragraphs of prose were starting to feel a bit like bloat.

The August and Middle School Memories pages had been reduced to half the prose and three articles December, January, January 22nd were cut completely from the linear flow of pages. They may fit better in a completely different body of work. Yes a small amount of prose was still needed but it rapidly shifted from the majority to the minority.

Given that there are more poems on hand I could add and the thoughts on college near the end of this work best in the form of plain speech that sections may become its own site. This would lead to a further decoupling of this prose. What this project will end up as is looking to be very different from where it started!
