A writer? More like a mere conduit for the being that loves to defy conventional structure.

My muse has always been uncontrollable; it acts according to its own will, never to mine.
I have no choice but to live according to its terms. Don’t try to shape it into something or it would just shut down to retaliate or just run away whenever it feels the mood.
It churns out random phrases that allow me to weave everyday events into free verse poems. I bear with its weirdness and, most importantly, temperament.
If you feel uncertain about the flow or mood of the stories that we will write, it’s because with my muse, things can be impromptu.
We didn’t plan to visit anywhere or at any time; we will just drop by whenever.
You may join us for a rollercoaster ride because our stories can go both ways.
Maybe that’s a good start to get to know us.

Hello, I'm Britt, the person behind the writings you'll find here.
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.
