I have a new hybrid (poetry and prose) chapbook I’m excited about and nearly ready to submit, any thoughts on best places to try?

I got my copy in the mail today!! It’s beautiful! Congrats!

Thank you @jamiattenberg.bsky.social I am listening to 1000 Words and I love it so much. It is one of the best craft books I’ve read. Why? Encouragement, comfort, inspiration, wisdom, motivation. It’s all working. I’m writing!

The whole story is even better. It involves the bathroom and me writing about how not to kill teenagers. 🤣

I didn’t know it was you either but I just put it together!

Wait! We may have been in the same hermit crab session and chatted after about kids!?!

Same here!

Got to attend @litcleveland Inkubator writing conference: writer friends, great topics & speakers (poetry, hermit crabs, revising and flash o my), a haul of books, and big fun! So great to meet THE @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social @rfpress.bsky.social like my tote?

My latest newsletter post in which I credit the inspiring words of writers I admire such as @BethanyJarmul @maggiesmithpoet and @ANNELAMOTT for helping me out of my latest writing slump!

Thanks! Wonderful - I’d love to know what you and others would put on their lists!

What’s helping me find my way back into the fun of writing through the paralyzing overwhelm of all the things to do? Make a list of some of the possibilities and pick one at a time.

Thanks! I find it a bit like traveling on an airplane- the further I get in time and space from earth and where I was on it, the more perspective and objectivity can happen. If I let it.

Have reached point where I have taken a long enough break from my WIP such that I am far enough removed to evaluate it almost as though it were written by someone else. Good place to be. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Sleepy Saturday morning with the lull of a soccer match on tv.

Also cleaned out utility sink 🤣

Needed this - thanks Maggie Smith!

Pep Talk You're not for everyone

Today, in a rare Sunday newsletter, a pep talk: You’re not for everyone, and that’s okay.

If you need a pep talk, this one’s for you. If you know someone who could use a pep talk, share away.

You’re not for everyone, but the people you are for will find you. Just keep going. x M

Have reached the rolling coins and cleaning out junk drawer phase of not writing.

My debut chapbook Firmer Ground was published by Anxiety Press in April. Available here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1JJTDR...

Best way to work from home is with my dog snuggly resting on my lap 🐶❤️
