Twirling Chainsaws and Writing Fire: Happy July!
Liora Writes presents our second monthly newsletter!
Two months already? Whoa…
I sincerely hope this month has treated you well so far. I’ve been in the thick of some personal chaos, but I’m still here, still writing, still swinging.
Let’s just say life’s been throwing twirling chainsaws my way lately, working through it, as always.
And have you ever tried to twirl a chainsaw? Yeah… a little bite-y.
But I’ve got new work in motion, and a new novel idea has taken up space in my brainpan (because of course it has).
Great, Liora, another project?
Yup. I'm not-so-secretly a masochist at heart. 😅
The good news? I’m not giving up. These stories, these poems, these things.... will be written. They will be published. And you’ll have first access to them.
But seriously: I think this new concept is fire. 🔥 I hope you will too.
🔥 Project Updates
Tracks
Still in progress: more chapters are written, more of the arc fleshed out. It’s a slow burn, but it’s moving forward.
Pocket Unicorn
Ran into a brief snag with my DAW setup, but I’m shifting over to a new system and expect to be back in rhythm this week.
Poetry
Still writing daily. Weekly poem drops will resume this Sunday, so stay tuned.
Poetry Book or Collection?
Still debating but leaning toward… both. 😉 I’d love your feedback—do you want a themed collection? A chronological book? Something more experimental?
Substack
Yes, I’ve officially opened a Substack! It will feature exclusive material not found here. The great news is you’re already on that list and should receive updates automatically. Feel free to check it out, browse the archive, and leave a comment or like; it helps with visibility more than you know.

This space is free to read, but support is greatly appreciated!
This piece comes from the work of all of the pieces that make up… me. I will keep you informed on the progress of longform projects and let you know when something special is going down.
If my work here speaks to you and you’d like to support it:
– Buy me a coffee – a small boost for the human behind the words.
– Feed the kitties – cover a day’s meals for the colony of feral and free-roamers I care for, and you’ll get my Whiskers in the Dark mini-zine as a thank-you.
Every like, comment, referral, and recommendation helps my work get seen. I appreciate honest engagement and connection. If something here moved you, share it.
To show my appreciation, I offer rewards for referrals. See the leaderboard for details.
If this lit a spark, subscribe free so the next ember finds you.
