Can people actually *see* things when they imagine them? If I picture my dad's face, I mostly get static, but I still have the memory of what he looks like. Whereas if I try to hear Gerard Way in my head, I get a dollar-store version with the correct cadence. This makes writing interesting…

¿Cómo se llama cuando una ciudad limpia las calles antes de las Olimpiadas? Deter-gente.

Had a dream that I got two acceptance emails from obscure yet respectable literary magazines. Woke up. They were not real 😭 #writersofbluesky

Still thinking about the time in high school when a group of guys made a bet on which of them could “get with me” for a fake relationship… and now the poem I wrote about it is getting published in Cimarron Review. Hello??? #poetry #litmag #writinglife #revengearc

#writersky How do you make your prose more poetic? I also write poetry but find it harder to incorporate assonance, consonance, alliteration, and rhythm into my work. Imagery and figurative language is easier, but still tough.

Establishing a daily writing practice was a game changer. Writers block is at an all time low and my ability to write for sustained amounts of time is at an all time high. Even if it’s just 10 - 20 minutes or approx a page of writing a day, it adds up! #writer #writerscommunity
