*waves* Hi everyone. Welcome to my little corner of the IG world. I thought it be good to introduce myself, so here goes.

I am JJ. I have been writing poetry and prose for 30+ years, but I started sharing it with the world in earnest in Autumn 2025. My first chapbook will soon be ready for publication (fingers crossed). I am working on my first full collection now.

Feel free to follow me for poetry, art and other creative randomness. Enjoy your stay! 🥰 by @jdwritespoems
