Still sick, still eager to write, still pouring down rain outside… I tucked a new little poem, “Unfinished Business,” in between things this morning & wanted to share an early rendition. ❤️

Hi friends! I've missed you, your books, & your art! In my world, I've been writing 30 Poems in 30 Days, as one is inclined to do during National Poetry Month. Day 6's "Barnacle Laughing" & the previous poems are up on my Substack: mckenzielynntozanwrites.substack.com Thank you for being here. ❤️

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Socials take tending Bonsai like, delicate, slow. Carefully demure. #poem Or you could see it as the madness it is. Fingers flying from one page to another. But don't. Just slow it up.

I am just days away from the end of my first full week off of work in the last TEN YEARS. I snuggled my kids, I napped, I ate good food, I spent a l-o-o-o-o-t of time with family, and you know what I want to talk about? Star Wars. I watched Star Wars for the first time this week. 1/3

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

I've been struggling to write lately due to publishing setbacks and lack of confidence. I've found a few things that help and thought I'd share. Please tell me what works for you. - Setting word targets - Getting outside and exercising - Absorbing all sorts of art - Remembering why I started.

Have you ever discovered an author that isn’t new to the world, but is new to you, and it feels as if you’re world has expanded somehow? Now you have so many more books to read by this particular writer... Who is that author for you?
