author’s bio

hi there, my name is bethany lines. i am a teenage writer living in adelaide, australia. and this is my online writing sanctuary for poetry and prose. you think i'm quiet is my personal public writing blog. literary journals infamously do not always take personal work, so i have made a home for those discarded poems here. explore at your leisure and feel free to comment or contact me through my instagram page.

i created this as a space for my creative brain to flourish, but i also created it because as a creative - particularly as a young creative - i am hungry for feedback, interpretation, and discussion. poetry is intrinsically subjective and made for personal interpretation, which is part of the joy of art: creative differences. nothing is a misunderstanding as long as you can defend what you think! so much of the joy of writing poetry is connection and community. this blog is made for an audience, so please interact and share as much as possible and reach out to me with any queries or comments. 💞
