That moment when you just finished a new poem... and you're certain it's either the best thing you've ever written... or the absolute worst. 😆

My son graduated from preschool yesterday! He won the reading award for being the only pre-K kid who knew how to read. Gosh, we’re so proud of him! He loves books just like his mom! 😃📚📖

Had a lot of fun writing this "Mad Libs" style poem, published in theinterpretershouse!

About 90% of the time, I write the title first when I'm writing a new piece. It's so much easier than trying to come up with a title afterwards! Anyone else?

Reminder for writers: It’s the end of the academic year, so all the university lit mags are clearing out their queues. In case it’s raining rejections over there too. 🌧️

I have a client who is starting to submit poems for the first time. Which lit mags do you recommend?

I was asked "How can I invest in my writing if I have no money?" My answer: read craft books & anthologies (local library & Libby app), listen to writing podcasts, look out for free events/classes, join a writing group, and most importantly: establish a regular writing practice.

I've been thinking about HOPE lately. How it's a radical act. How I want to live in it, to write from it. How so often, I've failed at that. But I'll try again. And again.

Wrote something new today! Could be a micro-memoir or a prose poem. I love when I'm not even sure which genre I'm writing, but the words are just flowing.😃

A tiered rejection from Pleiades? I'll take it! 😃

I used to think that in order to be a "serious writer" I had to write about trauma all the time. So in case no one has told you, dear writer, you can also write about joy, about wonder, about hope. In fact, the world needs you to! See also: Mary Oliver, Brian Doyle, Ross Gay

Soooooo excited! We’ve got an extra-special refill coming tomorrow…we don’t wanna spoil anything, but we’ll give you a hint: it involves someone whose name begins with “Bethany” and ends with “Jarmul.” ☺️ Bethany Jarmul

I had a blast writing & recording a mini-episode for the tiffininnwritingworkshop podcast on the topic of WRITING PROMPTS! You can listen to the five-minute episode here: sites.libsyn.com/451959/refill-…

“So be encouraged that prompt writing is no less than any other kind of writing.” Bethany Jarmul takes over the corner booth to give a refill on prompts! open.spotify.com/episode/6TsKCe…
