Like water inside a camel's hump, my soul holds your name. Like a beautiful painting, on the walls of an ancient cave. Like the age-old script, waiting to be deciphered. I fly back in time, like a hummingbird flying backwards. ♡

Don’t overthink it. Send your best work. Send work you feel shows who you are/who you’re becoming. Send the work you’re proud and pushed by. There’s no secret formula. No fee, 25K. Deadline is Monday. Poets 21-31, you have nothing to lose/a lot to gain! poetryfoundation.org/foundat…

Poems sometimes happen because I close down the rest of the world and sit with a blank page for minutes, hours, days. What is a waste of time to one person is what saves me, what keeps me moving forward.

“don’t write out of what I know; I write out of what I wonder. I think most artists create art in order to explore, not to give the answers. Poetry and art are not about answers to me; they are about questions.” ― Lucille Clifton

It’s Sunday. You can write 2 pages. Work on an outline or read a script. Do something for your writing career no matter how small.

WHAT WRITERS DO WHEN NOT WRITING • think up new projects we shouldn't be writing • speak to other humans so they remember we're still alive • lurk in tunnels beneath an opera house and scream • go on twitter • just kidding we go on twitter when we're writing too

"There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities." ~ Ursula K. Le Guin, who died today. 🙏
