Eventually I plan to be a functional adult. Until then, mind indulging in my fantasy of becoming an official Poet?
I guess that I’m considered a writer now? Just perpetually trying to leave the small town buried in the piney woods of Texas

Sometimes I wonder why I put in so much effort to be something just so I can someday say “Hey! I somehow managed to not waste all the time and effort spent on supporting my survival!” And where this driving desire to succeed came from

I have decided that my spiritual animal must be a packrat cuz I have this obsession with collecting and curating things (specifically information and content related to my fixations)
At any rate, guess it counts as contributing to society if I save others time from doing it themselves

Is there anyone down to be an accountability partner specifically for submitting my work to places?
And would there be any interest in seeing the massive collection of submission opportunities that I have somehow obsessively curated?

I finally updated my GoodReads account after not touching it for ten years because I thought it was a touch clunky to use. Now it’s trendy but still unintuitive (take my opinion with a grain of salt)

I can feel my brain brewing something that will hopefully make it feel like all this time and energy has a point to it, that I haven’t been wasting time but instead have been quietly absorbing the ideas I needed and unconsciously expanding on them…

Just occurred to me that maybe hopping on the idea of #summerofsubmissions could be a way of holding me accountable for continuing to try and get my voice heard… anyone know of a sort of official challenge or something for it? Totally possible it’s a trend I never heard of.

A poignant reminder that I wish to one day have a mentor who will push me to be my best…I ache for the chance to learn from the best and always have. Every day I chafe against my own limitations.

Just want to say that one of the best things I ever did for myself was to form a place to bury any kind of words/sentences/ideas that moved me. Not only did it make me consciously look for quality content to keep and emulate, but also serves as reminder to keep going. #writingcommunity

I needed this reminder as one of my ongoing fixations of late is the fact that I feel I have squandered my life already.

Like how is anyone functioning right now? No amount of “self-care” is going to help.

One of my fav stories about being a poet stems from a anecdote about #RobertLowell who reported, upon being told that a family member was stuck in a bog and needed help, said “We are all stuck in a bog!” And it took a while for him to understand that it was not a metaphor #poetry #writingcommunity

I feel like I am in desperate need of inspiration specifically from those who do poetry…I’m curious about your writing routine and how you handle the detailed work on poems…generally writing routines focus more on the short stories and fiction part than just poetry #writingcommunity

I am both surprised and not at the fact that I’ve basically been on this app for hours now. gotta love my brain that doesn’t want to be working on the pile of submissions I definitely need to send in #writerlife #writingcommunity #adhd #momdayblues

“If I could, do
you think that you would?
Hold hands with me

Or is it not enough
to love whole and love
loud, I don’t know why
I’m so proud of
my sacrifice to
a goddess” #poetry

Anyone interested in joining me in participating in the #sealeychallenge that will start on August 1st? I feel like I am going to need to plan my reading list with great care to get through it! #writingcommunity #booktok #writing #writer for a quick intro, it’s reading poetry book every day: month

It just occurred to me that this would be an excellent dumping ground for my random lectures I force my friends to listen to and might actually be of interest to people. Hyper fixation dumping ground in a way. I am way too happy about that #infodump #hyperfixtation #readytolearn?

The challenge that I am most excited for #booktok is one that is called #sealeychallenge where the name of the game is to read a book of poetry every day for a month! It sounds like both fun and a challenge. I find that poetry for me needs to be digested so the idea of slamming poem after poem…

Ahh I have a question for the community, does anyone know of a challenge where you aim to read a book of poetry a day for a month, and what’s the name of it? I remember seeing it in @pw.org latest issue but it seems to have escaped me #writing #writingcommunity #booktok

I definitely need to try this challenge! Maybe not for this particular month but eventually! #booksky

Petition to switch from trying to be functional adults to admitting that your personality might just be the equivalent of a rabid pack of raccoons in a trenchcoat spam-pressing buttons so why not #freetheferal

So does anyone want to place a bet on the odds that I will be like obsessed and hyper fixated for max a week and then proceed to periodically post for a week, disappear for months, and then rinse and repeat? Or is it possible that I could be consistent with something versus spamming my thoughts

I’ve never been the type to be into social media. But I am finding that I am liking the dopamine hit from using this platform. I feel…like I might be able to consistently use this app? I don’t know how I feel about this #socialmedia #writing #writer
