Writing alone can be isolating. I've got a new Zoom workshop for writers looking for accountability, support, light coaching and friendships. Times writing sprints, prompts you can ignore or bend, and goals you can beat. kbjensenauthor.com/k-bs-monday-...

It has been rough lately, but I wrote a poem about things that are fragile. In case you are wondering, it's everything.

Ever have your fitbit congratulate you on a cardio workout when you are writing? It was a tribute poem to an old friend who passed away. #amwriting #writingworkout

Do you ever find yourself repeating themes in your poems or stories? Sometimes I wonder if this a motif or am I just writing the same thing over again? Is that part of the evolution because it changes over time? It's always something meaningful to me so I don't mind revisiting.

Today, I saw a man biking in in the rush hour rain with a full on Cello in a fabric case strapped to his back. I also saw a new mom with her baby on a bus, and she didn't look exhausted. Can you guess which one seemed stranger to me? #amwriting #Denmark

As a person who suffers from anxiety, there are moments where I think, this 😱 terrifies me, and hey, I'm doing it anyway. And I think that's pretty cool in its own way. That is all.

I'm taking this Danish class I love online, and they suggested AI to check grammar on writing and I blurted out, I'm an author and AI has stolen my work! But I said it in Danish without thinking, which was cool. So now I'm like, do I really have to? Everyone else is. Oh the poor environment too.

Our Emerging Teen Writing and Publishing Camp is looking for #teenwriters to publish! This award-winning online program is dear to my heart since we started in 2020 with my daughter. It's the camp all writers wish we had as teens and a really cool opportunity for teens. Flyer and last summer's book

One big bright spot in my publishing career is working with diehard #teenauthors, including my daughter who loves to write. We recently released, Focal Points, an anthology. Know a teen who loves writing? Let me know and I'll send info on the Emerging Teen Authors Writing and Publishing Camp.

I wrote swaths of "Love and Other Monsters in the Dark," my last book, in the heart of the pandemic. Lately, it's a similar vibe. Writers and creatives are telling me they are struggling to create in the face of despair. We need your art more than ever. To cope, to heal, to be strong.

Also, to clarify, I still read the news and social media on my computer. It's just in measured doses.

I have blocked all the social media and news sites from my phone and try to wind down before going to bed by reading or journaling. Minneapolis is my home town and I have family there. The situation is worse than what you see in the news. It's understandable to struggle right now. Sending hugs.

K.B. Jensen @kbjensenauthor.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

I'll say it again, in times of trouble turn to your art. Writing a poem or story makes you stronger. Whether it brings joy, a moment of peace, healing, enhances your ability to cope with this crazy world, or help someone else. Art of all kinds is beyond powerful. Grateful #writer #writingcommunity

Just a reminder that sometimes, the struggle, the floundering is part of the writing process. You might spend a year fighting to find the right title, then write it on a napkin in a coffee shop. The two are related. That is all. #amwriting #writingprocess

Say the nice things. Tell the people who have made a difference in your life that they have. One of my friends and mentors passed away today. We had plans to go skiing this season but life had other plans. I'm so sad. Looking back at our last text chain, I'm thankful that I happened to tell them.

Was thinking about how poets can arrange words like some people arrange flowers. The art of the placement of a comma, and how the sounds of one word pair with another. Maybe this is why I've been rearranging a section trying to find the beauty in tiny details. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Any tips for breaking a facebook habit? I don't curate anything or block and it shows me the weirdest ads, which helps me not want to spend much time on it. I deleted it from my phone and only see it on my computer sporadically. It's blocked on my browser on my phone as well.

Of the five of us, only one was adamant that she had never bitten anyone. The rest of the group (non-horse girls) did not admit to biting anyone.

Someone needs to research horse girls and what percentage bite compared to girls who are not into horses. I went to a literary lunch today with some great gals and this question came up because many were into horses and I may have done a poll bc I'm weird. #writermusings #writingcommunity

I feel bad for the author using a publicist who sent me an AI-generated email without a clear ask. Not sure it's real. I worry about missing emails from actual people. They weren't trying to sell me something, my guess is they wanted a blurb. Sometimes it just sounds like noise. #writercommunity

Trying times, but finding things to be grateful for. Writing a poem and feeling something, getting good news from a dr's office, taking a .46-mile walk in fall leaves in my sneakers (after an injury trapped me in a boot). #amwriting #writingcommunity What light are you finding?

Do you miss NaNoWriMo? Regardless of the problems with the org, it was the worst possible timing for writing a novel with Turkey Day, travel and family obligations for me. I was never a fan of binge writing in November instead of finding a healthy writing rhythm. I was never happy with the results.

Whether it's you or a character, is there a time where they or you've pushed a comfort zone? Much of writing is embracing risk and the unknown. It's always a little wild letting other people into your head. If you aren't a little scared, you aren't doing it right... #amwriting #writingcommunity

Today's writing advice: When you are confronted with the dreamkillers, the ones who don't want you to write, who tell you not to do something, tell them this: "Ok, just watch me." Write it on a sticky note and attach it to your computer. #amwriting #writingworkshops #writingadvice #writingcommunity

AI is supposed to make things faster but maybe it leads to second guessing and a lack of confidence, for writers? Some folks think it can write better than they can, and instead of working on their craft and trusting their human voice, they trust AI more than themselves. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Hey writers, what do you do after writing about trauma? Today I wrote about a difficult topic. I always advise clients to take some time for self-care after writing like this. Take a bath, go for a walk, talk to a friend, reach out to your therapist, etc. #amwriting #writingcommunity
