In our latest episode, we talk with two poet friends about how one might engage with #poetry, discuss Gwendolyn Brooks, Maggie Smith, Billy Collins, and Archibald Macleish, and what makes a poem "break containment." It's a banger. sites.libsyn.com/560805/poetry

Hard to believe #revpitwaiting will be over tomorrow! I’ll forever be grateful to the contest and everyone who works to put it on for giving me a deadline to work toward and encouragement along the way.

I haven’t always been able to take advantage because I’m phoneless during the day and parenting in the evenings but I have LOVED catching up on everyone’s posts when I can! Such a wonderful community.

I’ll be doing a second round of beta reading on my #RevPit manuscript with an eye toward querying in the summer and fall! And perhaps looking into taking advantage of a few of the editors’ expertise for a submission package review ☺️

And she’s in! Thank you to the #RevPit editors for your kind encouragement and for donating your time, and to all the writers embarking on this adventure for the amazing community we’re creating. Let’s do this!

I have a very intentional plan to do my #RevPit submission tomorrow morning, but I’m having some kind of FOMO seeing everyone sub today 😂

I started The Glass Dagger in 2021, when my daughter was 1 and just getting into all things princess. I dreamed up a fierce, badass version of Cinderella who could fight back against the stepfamily that stole her life. My daughter just turned 5, and today I finished that draft. #AmWriting

@capitalweather.bsky.social I could have done without the thunder snow in Manasses while trying to ride a horse but the aftermath at the barn sure was pretty!

Delighted that the podcast where I hang with my writing friends and talk craft is out in the world! Grab a glass of red wine and some pie and join us for the fun.

I’m a few weeks shy of hitting my 2024 goal of finishing my YA fantasy retelling of Cinderella. But thrilled to finally be writing the endgame I’ve had in my head for years and excited about where this book will take me in 2025. Happy new year #WritingCommunity

An underrated joy of being a linear writer is the sheer adrenaline rush of finally getting to write the endgame scenes you’ve had living in your head for years. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity
