Sorry for the little hiatus. I was at a cabin. I am no longer at said cabin.

The Kiss - c. essington (After Gustav Klimt)
someone spent too much time on something.
Sweet-Talked
This is mainly about glorifying one’s own internal circumstances so they come across as tolerable instead of possibly taxing.
(I know this is a writing blog, I will stop posting just art sooooon, thanks for dealing with me)
This is a finished version of a piece I posted earlier.
- C. Essington
I really like the thought that they're still out there fishing in 1928.
For any newcomers, these are a few more photos of my great grandfather Axel's fishing trip out west.
Hi! Back! Moving over from Twitter. Here’s a recent short story; more to come.
This is about wishing you could eat paint and other things you shouldn’t want.
Is there one particular experience that you draw on in your writing?
There’s no one singular experience, no. It’s usually a mash of a lot of things and they vary a lot depending on what I’m trying to say. Like a potato, a mashed potato of feelings and thoughts. With butter. I write potatoes, end transcript.
Please feel free to send in any more college/ kenyon/ writing/ publishing questions! I have a lot of time today.
in a bite of lamplight, he stands up to say I love you. he says it slow so he can feel it in his mouth, rolling like a marble with no glass to put its body in. no one is there to take it, but it is still true. It is snow falling, looking for concrete.

kayaking in the winter means you’re confident or lonely
running uphill until everything, including your name, hurts means that there is something in your body which you’ve missed missing.
writing codes in plain english out of words that symbolize nothing but themselves means you’ve taken up poetry again and should stop or get a kayak by this time, next december.
