Hello, I’m Britt, the person behind the writings you’ll find here.
Looking through my inventory, I’ve realized I have well over 500 scattered pieces of writing—and that’s just the ones I’ve managed to count! There are still so many more tucked away that I haven't even reached yet.
While I can’t promise a constant stream of exclusive content, I can promise to consolidate my often scattered, writing portfolio right here on BMC. Think of this as the dedicated home for all my work. Please note, this process might take time, depending on my daily condition.
For me, writing isn’t just my craft; it’s my sole way of working. As someone navigating multiple chronic illnesses with frequent medical treatments at various hospitals and clinics, my routine often leaves me with little energy or capacity for much else.
As an autistic individual with a severe anxiety disorder, holding a conventional job is almost an impossible feat — a sad reality that is a stark contrast to how I used to be able to function. These days, even an unexpected phone call can throw me into disarray, let alone stepping out the door.
Despite these immense challenges, they have, unexpectedly, opened new doors. In a way, being chronically ill has been a blessing in disguise, granting me the space and courage to pursue writing. You could say I’m an unknown and perpetually poor writer (not everyone can be J.K. Rowling!).
I juggle inconsistent odd remote jobs alongside the limited income my writing generates on different platforms. Your support here helps me continue this work and truly makes all the difference as I explore new avenues. Thank you for being here and for considering supporting my journey.
What you’ll find in my archive:
🌑 Dark & Tragic Poetry: Deeply personal pieces inspired by the likes of Poe and Akutagawa.
🧠 Mental Health & Slice-of-Life: Raw narratives on neurodiversity (ASD/Anxiety) and the reality of navigating life differently.
🕯️ Creative Non-fiction: Haunting narratives that blur the line between reality and the creative — where the truth is often more frightening than fiction.
My Credits & Journey:
🏆 Featured in an anthology by Penguin New York.
🌟 Formerly Editor-in-Chief for a curated Instagram publication.
🏅 Top 50 Instapoet and 100 Inspiring Instagrammers (2017/2018).
📖 Author of two books, including a specialized translation of archaic English.
✍️ Widely Published: Contributor to various editorial platforms including The Memoirist, Write Under the Moon, MuserScribe and Iceberg’s Poetry.
My interests are incredibly diverse. If I were to lock myself into one particular category, it would truly suppress my creative output.
My diverse interests also extend to my music taste, which you can glimpse from my Spotify playlist ranging from Muse, Sigur Rós, Yiruma, Ling Tosite Sigure, Linkin Park, Anna Tsuchiya, Taylor Swift, The Cranberries, and Halsey.
Just like that playlist, readers here can expect an unpredictable, even dizzying, mix in my writing - from poems and deeply personal stories to creative non-fiction, mental health issues, slice-of-life narratives and commentaries.
