Writer's Block, Part 2 – What is it Teaching Me?
My recent article on writer’s block is about perceiving resistance as a message that something in me needs attention, rather than a simple need to rest the creative cells.

Finding the best place to sub your poetry, especially a body of work, is so tricky. Online forms vary widely. You keep reading the rules, tweak every detail, then get stuck at the final checkout because of a password loop, or press send and find you forgot a vital detail. Anyone else? 🤬😩
