Reading a book always makes me feel so connected to humanity. We're so clever aren't we?

Was thinking about a poetry submission all day at work. Have a pretty good feeling about it despite the fact that there's no way it will win a contest. I should be proud I ever find time to write and submit at all.

Today's writing workshop was very validating. I'm so fortunate to get to connect so deeply about writing.

When thinking of Dolly’s kindness today, I am also thinking of this poem by @stevenreigns.bsky.social in LET ME SAY THIS: A DOLLY PARTON POETRY ANTHOLOGY. So grateful for this poem, Steven! #DollyDay #GiveLikeDolly #Dolly #DollyParton #Poem #Poetry #poetrysky #poetrynews

I was bad at video games as a kid and somehow I hate to admit that I'm still bad at them. Love them to bits but I struggle to finish most games I buy.

Just checked my records and the first draft of the chapbook I've been working on was dirt submitted in 2018. I've been submitting this thing in different drafts for 8 years!

At this point I don't know what to do with my chapbook manuscript. 6 years of rejections and subsequent edits. I need to move past it but it's still stuck in my throat.

An interesting thing about being a poet is having something you know will be fruitful to write about but you haven't found the words for it yet.

Calling something an "eight part series" when it's a show that only got eight episodes is diabolical.

Are you ready for Brian Blessed dressed as a samurai? We weren't! The episode on As You Like It is available to listen where you do that. #podcast #filmsky #shakespeare #betterstrangers

A screenshot from the 2006 film As You Like It. It is a Japanese-style interior, with Brian Blessed in samurai armor in the center. He's flanked by four men also dressed as samurai, with Romula Garai and Bryce Dallas Howard seated on either side of him in English Victorian dress.

Half of poetry is finding the right words. The rest is just finding the wrong words. For balance.
