2 years? Already? That is awesome and unbelievable! I found your poetry blog through your main one, and of course I had to follow since poetry + your style could only equal amazingness... and of course it has. xx
ReplyDeleteFirst: CONGRATULATIONS!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly I have no idea how I found your blog - I think through someone else's links. I remember seeing the name of it for the first time, and knowing I absolutely had to check it out because Twilight to Dawn is just SO cool sounding! I followed you because..well, because your words never cease to be just what I need to hear, and the simplicity and power of what you have to say has always touched me. :)
I hope your blog birthday is the bestest!!
- Deborah
To be honest I wouldn’t have known about this if it weren’t for Kenzie!! I’d seen her post pictures of your book before and it looks so bomb 😍😍 then coming to your blog and seeing your whole aesthetic and writing style made my heart burst. I love this and will definitely try to keep up with your blog 😊
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, happy 2nd birthday to Twilight to Dawn!!! I love your poetry SO much - it's totally amazing. Writing goals, for sure. <3 <3
ReplyDeleteRandom question: what's your favorite poem?
SO LIKE CONGRATULATIONS BEAUTIFUL GIRL!!!! I luv every one of your poems <3 <3
ReplyDeletexxx
Congradulations, Julia! Oh, and getting your book in the library is amazing! I first found your blog through Jessica Joy's (I'm pretty sure) and loved your perky blog!
ReplyDeleteSo neat that you have books of poetry/sketches/thoughts!! I write a little poetry too, but haven't published anything yet...would love to though...
ReplyDeleteFound your blog on Deborah's (https://dlehmanwriter.wordpress.com/2018/08/13/award-of-recognition/) where she mentioned your giveaway. :P
I love poetry and am so interested in other young people who are writing it! (Like me)
Okay... Deep breath... I found your page through Deborah Lehman and your book sounds amazing and your blog is beautiful. I REALLY wanted to enter in this giveaway, but when I read this post I was on my phone rushing out the door to take my brother to the airport... Sooo I hastily and sloppily tried to enter on the Vienna U-bahn station wifi while walking to the train platform, but that didn't go well... I tried again at the airport, but ended up totally butchering the entry process... Anyways, sorry for making this comment so long, but long-story-short, disregard the two first Grace Aukerman giveaway entry attempts with a yahoo account... I'm finally at our apartment with a computer using my gmail account.... Anyways, I'm entering this giveaway because you sound like you have a deep and genuine love for art and writing and I would love to read your book.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS JULIA!!!!
ReplyDelete*gives you all the donuts*
your words continue to inspire me and give me life.
thanks for giving all of us tangible hope.
here's to many more years of your words!
xx

I found your blog through a series of blogs lol... and fell in love with both your poetry website and your personal blog because I think we'll all agree, you're writing is so addicting (on both sites). Love love love it all. Keep doing what you do best, and keep striving to do your best with the rest!
ReplyDeleteAh! So exciting! Congrats on two years 😊
ReplyDeleteI have no clue how I found your blog - probably like Jasmine did ;) You're just such a fun person and I love your poetry and posts. Congrats on two years!! I'm so excited about this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteALSO I DIDN'T HAVE ICE CREAM BUT I ALMOST HAD A DOUGHNUT DOES THAT COUNT
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!! I think I've already told you that I found your blog just from link hoppin through blogs all day XD
ReplyDeleteOkay so I do have a question, how did you even go about getting a blog domain and all that? I would like to start a blog but I really have no idea where to start. *facepalm* I love your design on both your blogs btw, so aesthetic and simple!!
ahhhh congrats on 2 years!!!! I love love love your poetry and am so glad I get to read it!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where I found your blog??? We have a bunch of mutual friends and I probably 99% found your blog through theirs, then found this one through your main one!
