Only those who stay Dead shall remember Death.

Recently, I (Lana) discovered that when rearranged, the letters in my name spell torn loyal tea. I think it's cool and rather telling. Ever since, I've grown slightly convinced that much of my life consists of a tragic array of conflicted interests.

That said, I should warn you I'm one of those hopeless wrecks trying to quench an insatiable boredom. However, this isn't the means, it's simply the outlet.

For anything you'd like to know, either ask or pay attention.

Questions are always welcome. Submissions (of anything, really) are much loved, too!

Anonymous asked: what is your motivation when it comes to writing?

I’m trying to decide if I even have “motivation” anymore. I don’t even write regularly. I mean I do—between this blog and journal entries and poetry when I don’t know what else to say or post—but I do those things out of a sort of inner desperation. And if I’m writing something I’m really excited about or proud of, my motivation is being able to take the finished product and say, “Hey! Look at this! I wrote it and I’d like you to read it!”

I use writing as an escape and as a way to explore different ideas. When someone says something interesting, I write it down for future reference even if I disagree with what they’re expressing. When I come across weird disorders or unusual events that are happening now or have happened, I take note. I keep record of these things to later turn around and morph into something that’ll be interesting and thought-provoking.

My biggest hope for my writing is that it enlightens, entertains, and evokes feeling from the reader.
