On December 21st, micqu.org celebrates 12 years—a quiet milestone for a space that has grown and evolved alongside me. From hesitant beginnings to the voice I now share with more confidence, I like to think the evolution of my writing reflects my personal journey.
micqu.org is where poetry, fiction, and reflective prose meet. It’s a space where I explore emotions and fleeting moments, balancing openness with privacy. Much of my fiction is deeply emotive—I like it that way—and while I rarely reference real people, the raw and authentic quality of my writing often makes it feel deeply personal. That balance—of sharing and holding back, of honesty and mystery—is part of what I hope keeps readers coming back.
The poetry here is simple yet layered, drawing on imagery and metaphor to create connections. The prose invites contemplation, offering glimpses of universal truths through my perspective. Occasionally, music weaves through my words, adding another dimension to the emotions explored.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to share that this anniversary aligns with the release of my poetry collection, “The Weight of Light,” on January 10th, 2025. This collection captures the essence of what micqu.org has always been—a space for raw, emotive writing—and expands on the themes explored here in new ways.
What I’ve always loved about this space is its quiet presence. It doesn’t shout for attention but instead invites connection, offering a place to pause and reflect. Whether you’ve been reading for years or are just finding your way here, I hope micqu.org resonates with you, in its quiet, unquiet way.
If you like what you read here, consider sharing it on your social media channels. Maybe someone new will enjoy my words too. Twelve years feels like both a long time and a beginning. I hope you’ll stay for what’s next.

Congratulations on your lasting 12 years, Cathy. Next August will mark 10 years for me – if I make it!

I am sure you will make it. 🙂 This blog matters to me, that’s why I keep feeding it with words and opinions. Sometimes that’s very easy and other times it is hard work. I am thinking a lot about it right now and if it is worth continuing to share my poetry or other posts. Do readers get anything (any value) from it?
