So as I get back into writing, I'm going to be tackling numerous things at once. In case my mind gets stuck on one thing, I'll have others to turn to. I've found that works best for me when I'm not dealing with a bad case of writer's block. Anyway, one of the projects I've…
“Untitled” (9-9-21)
I'm at a crossroads, afraid, unsure of myself and the path I've taken, sanity unraveling with every wrong step, Lost and alone, wandering aimlessly in search of peace looking for the happiness promised at birth.
More Work, Less Drama by Cortney Joseph

New Beginnings by Cortney Joseph
"I love you." The cool air of the ceiling fan blew over them as June lay with her head and hand atop Montgomery's chest. He smoked a cigarette, careful to blow the smoke away from her face as she reveled in the natural high his love gave. Their afternoon had been filled with intense passion,…
