Not everyone writes just to write.
I write to hold what’s seen and unseen.
I write to weigh the space between.
I write to unravel tangled threads.
I write to question things unsaid.
I write because I breathe between the lines.

Written By Mo Jo Jo



About Me:I’m Melissa Jo LaDue, also known as Mo Jo Jo.I’m a poet, writer, ghostwriter, and practical linguist with a degree in English Language and Literature, and a focus on Medieval Studies.I’ve spent more than twenty years working in customer service and management across eight industries — the kind of work that teaches you a lot about people, patience, and communication.

My work and interests move between writing, editing, language, and how people can come to mutual understanding.No matter the setting — professional, creative, or everyday life — I aim to be the same person in every room I’m in, and help however I can.

So they land where they matter most.

Writing That Explores
Head & Heart, Here & There,
Past, Present & Future

I see the world for what it is—
 
a frequently sad and unfortunate mess.
 
Where too often, things are paralyzingly polarized.
 
That doesn’t mean I can’t find joy within it.
 
It just means I feel the weight of both.
 
I see multiple sides to things, even when I don’t have all the details.
 
I see why people struggle to understand each other.
 
I see their pain, confusion, anger, and grief.
 
But seeing doesn’t mean I can fix it.
 
And feeling doesn’t mean I have to carry it.
 
So instead, I write.
 
To bridge the gaps.
 
To explore the contradictions.
 
To make sense of things that don’t fit—but still belong.
 
I meet people where they are, in whatever beautifully tangled mess they’re in—
 
because that’s what it means to be human.
