I am a huge fan of David Lynch. When he died back in January, there was a post online encouraging his fans to try their hands at creating something new or something they never tried but wanted to etc before in his honor. I got into making blackout poetry this year because of that. I made another quick one for this challenge. This is black out poetry from a poem I wrote. I am very much into the doomed by the narrative trope.

If you like tea or seltzer water, that can help a lot with water drinking o/

Very cool black out poem, fate/narrative being its own character is something I adore in fiction too.

I love tea and am addicted to it hehe, it's honestly so helpful for me to drink water.

thank you so much! It's really so hard hitting and think that sadly it happens a lot in real life too like how sometimes you try to avoid a certain thing and when you're doing that is when it happens D:

The blackout poem is awesome, and I love that you got into it as a tribute to David Lynch. Creating something new is a wonderful way to honor the passing of someone whose creative work was meaningful to you.

thank you so much! I'd been so interested in it for a long time but somehow never really got around to it and then decided to try my hand at it and i'm really loving it <3

I like the format for your to-do list, that's really cool! Sounds like a very wordy month overall. :D

The blackout poetry is also great. I love blackout poetry/collage poetry, but I never know what source text to work from.

thank you! I hope so hehe

It's so fun! So far I've done it from newspaper articles, a book page I liked and a couple of poems I wrote.
