I really needed to read this today. Maybe you do, too. ❤️
My Sunday message: A poem doesn’t have to say anything useful or profound. It just has to call you home.
If you want to write a poem, do this...
You can start anywhere: a mess of fallen sticks in the yard after a windstorm; late afternoon light in the window; a steaming cup of tea.

Hi! You're seeing this because someone noticed you posting an image that doesn't contain alt text. This is not a scolding! You are loved! But everyone needs to be convinced using alt text is socially mandatory. (I sure had to be shown the way as well!) Would you mind reading this🧵 about it and why?

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

It has been a long while since I've read a book I disliked as much as the one I just finished, and it's a good reminder that not every book is for everyone. And that's okay! Read what you like and write what you need to--someone out there might hate it, but others will love it.

What if, instead of trying to have a productive writing day, you aimed for a satisfying one instead?

Once I die, "bemused" can mean "wryly amused" and "nonplussed" can mean "cool as a cucumber."
Not until.

"bemused" is (one of my) bêtes noires.

Just once, in-continuity, i want someone to go, "you're not gonna decompose ME down to my component waveforms and reconstitute my essential pattern someplace else! That's basically just murdering and cloning me!" And then the bored transporter tech just says, "Ship of Theseus," & slides them sliders
