Hi, I’m Ali.

I like to write. I have always liked to write, even before I could write. I would staple together booklets of computer paper, or use Scotch tape to tape them together if I couldn’t find a stapler, and then draw pictures on each page with a story in mind. And then I would find a grown-up—my mom, a day care worker, a teacher—and I would dictate to them the words I wanted on each page. And I would watch them, wide-eyed, as they brought my stories to life with magical symbols that I didn’t understand yet, out of my head and onto a page so that others could see what I saw.

So I will try to do some of that magic here.

My Pages

“Motherhood” - writing inspired by my daughter; i also keep some relevant journal entries here

“Adventuring” - mini wholesome choose-your-own adventures (not ready yet)

“Journal” - where you can read about how insecure i am and what i’ve been thinking lately

“Reading Watching Listening Doing” - content i’ve been consuming and what i’ve been doing lately

“Gemlog” - writing for the moment

“Prose” - long-form creative writing

“Poems” - poetry that meets my low bar of “okay” or better

“Snippets” - incomplete and random thoughts, sometimes funny sometimes poetic lines that pop into my head, or bad poems that don’t deserve to be in the “Poems” index. i think it’s kind of fun to have a big list of little things, like scraps of paper in a shoebox.

“Paper Cranes” - notes for other flounderers

“Quotes” - things flounderers wrote that i like
