"Reading it is like sinking into long grass on a warm afternoon, as if only you exist amongst all of earth's creatures". I think this is a good example of your writing style; earthy, sensual, tactile, lyrical.
How would I describe your writing style? Well, even as a writer at heart and coming out into the world with it, the word style for some reason feels restrictive, the same way genre does. They feel like boxes. So I’ll simply say, your writing is dreams and colours and passion all merging to create the type of trance like state that hits you in moments of pure, visceral joy flowing through your veins. Whether that joy hits in the quiet under the stars or the fury of music and movement on a salty, sandy beach in the dead of summer from sunrise to sunset.
That is why I continually come back to your writing. It literally unlocks the feral beauty within my Venusian being when the walls have started to come back up like a drawbridge.
Kristi, this was complete magic to read. I almost forgot I asked any question at all. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts & feelings & experiences in such fluid expression. For your kind words. And for helping during this period of reflection. I cannot tell you how helpful this, is. Thank you.
I would describe your writing style as the organized stream of consciousness shot out of a perfumed lingerie drawer located in a sun dappled beach bungalow.
I love this Bentia. I visibly see that in my head and it's also such a creative view of my work. Which I love. And appreciate. And find ridiculously helpful. Thank you.
Your writing - it makes me feel alive. It speaks to the core of me and moves me. It sparks my curiosity and ignites my sensuality. You are poetry and seduction and the summer wind on my bare skin. One of *my* favorite things.
Your writing is like coming up for air after being underwater, lungs bursting with the burn of saltwater. It's like feminine magic and feral joy...sensual, grounded, and ethereal all at once. It's like stepping into the sun after a long darkness AND the cool moonlight that breaks a brutal heatwave.
I know that's abstract as fuck, but that's what I've got 💜
This was a ride and I loved it. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Here for abstract as fuck. Another direction to come at this reflection from! Thank you Violet. x
The array of perceptions is incredible. And more than helpful! I've been blasted with so much to think about and I love it. But KJ, this. Thank you so much for your thoughts. Will stare at the sun and contemplate.
Your writing reminds me how I desire to live...freely, uninhibited, passionately, raw, messily human & tasting every last drop. Romanticising the simple moments and alchemising them into memories that epitomise the human experience. Earthy, sensual, vulnerable & divine.
Your writing reminds me of how good this life gets to be 🔥
Just read your list of delights with a warm cup of tea in the solstice sun. You words felt like honeyed sunlight - warm, sweet, and a balm to the soul. I love reading little lists of artist's obsessions - as you said, "I love people who also love things."
I can relate to being too close to your writing to describe it. I often open my substack drafts and have no idea if what I write fits within the wider context of what I'm trying to achieve (whatever that is). If it helps, I'd describe your writing style as sensual, poetic, and also devotional - noticing everyday thoughts and feelings with such care and attention that they're transformed into something magical.
Oh my entire skin loved this entire comment. Thank you for your kind words. Truly. And I am absolutely there with you, I also love artist obsessions and lists of things people love. They’re such windows to people.
It feels much the same as never quite knowing what you look like without a reflective surface to beam it back at you. It’s difficult, seeing your own work with clear eyes. I resonate deeply. And thank you so much for your thoughts. It’s immensely helpful. And I’m grateful. x
Adore this Brooke. Your ability to turn the smalllest moments and descriptions into poetry never ceases to amaze me.
I’d describe your writing as an indulgence. Decadent. Sinking your teeth into a juicy plum and letting the juicy slip over your chin. It’s visceral, sensory, a voice to those unclaimed, unconscious thoughts that spin at the back of your head. You know they’re there, but they scatter if you try to organize them into something structured. Your writing captures them in their natural form. A feeling, a sensation, a wisp of thought.
Kerani, you. Thank you so much for your thoughts. Your words are an incredible portal. You wrote a review of my substack and set me off on a deep trail of reflection. And this one has done exactly the same. Thank you so much. Deeply. It’s taken me so much further into what I’ve been circling around. x
I'm so glad they've been helpful in the journey you're on 🥰✨ I think it's natural for us as creatives to always be seeking and finding within ourselves. And sometimes when we're in it, we have a hard time seeing the reflection on the surface of the pond because we *are* the water itself. It can help to hear from others in those moments, to see ourselves through their eyes and find surprises within.
Mmmmm this is so delicious! I need that scent immediately!
You’re writing makes me feel hot and earthy, like I’m squishing plump grapes under my feet in the soft Italian sun. It’s a total trip for the poet in me. Obsessed 💛
Your writing is bone deep. It’s magical. I’ve been reading your writing for years and in my experience you like to get at the root of what makes us human, and offer a slice of paradise in a sensual way. You bring up questions and thoughts about being human and sometimes provide your answer or reflection, but also sometimes you just let us sit in the moment with you. It’s captivating.
May have to get me a discovery set! That sunset hour sounds like a perfect summer scent.
Oh would love to know your thoughts! Its honestly perfect for summer. it’s light and balmy and sexy and summery all at once. x

Jeffrey, thank you so much for your thoughts. I can’t tell you how helpful this is. And has propelled me deeper into introspection. So thank you!

You make me love writing again xx
Ohhh my ⬆️ all these people here have nailed your writing style !!!
You need to be explained by the heart , feelings & sensual movements .
Like a hand slowly brushing over tanned shoulders , gently pulling off the thin straps of a simple silk dress . Revealing the bare and naked . Truth.
The array of perceptions is incredible. And more than helpful! I've been blasted with so much to think about and I love it. But KJ, this. Thank you so much for your thoughts. Will stare at the sun and contemplate.
Dreamy, visceral, romantic, raw, poetic, fever dreams is how I would describe your writing. It makes me feel a longing for more 💚
You'll make me crush on myself in a second. But, in all seriousness, this was incredibly helpful. Thank you Temperley. I appreciate your thoughts. x

Laura I love this, and the window it gives me is helpful in these reflections. I'm so grateful for your time and words and thoughts. Truly. Thank you!

Lenore. Thank you! This is truly helpful x
The way you write, is as if the heart itself had a voice to describe all it feels as it beats fully awake and alive
Liv, thank you so much! For your thoughts & kind words x

It honestly makes me want to take all of my clothes off and go swimming in some warm waters faraway somewhere.
And Lori, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on my writing style. I am floored how sexy you make it sound. Thank you! x
