I haven’t been posting much on this platform about the recent protests because for one it’s not very large and for another getting into arguments with strangers on the internet is exhausting and often futile. Additionally, petitions are more effective when the signers are local, and donations are more likely when solicited amongst people who … Continue reading LISTEN TO BLACK PEOPLE — A List of YouTube Recommendations
Playing With Prompts
So the writing hasn't been going well. It's just so hard to concentrate these days. At least I have finally started to catch up on my reading, so that's been nice. Anyway, the poems I've been coming up with lately have all been--how shall I put this? Flaccid. Yeah, that's the word I want to … Continue reading Playing With Prompts
It’s Been Rough. How Are You Doing?
Inspirobot is so on point sometimes I have been a bad blogger this year, and I can't believe it's nearly May and this is my first post.

How Are You Doing?
G. Edwards Asks: Would You Rather Change the World or Change Yourself?
(The following is a continuation of this post) I do not have the hubris to imagine that I should ever be allowed the power to change the world--along what lines?

I aM a SaCk Of PoTaToEs
Well, I gave up on NanoWrimo... got farther than last year. Haven't been writing much of anything at the moment. Don't know if you guys saw this.

Jennifer Asks: What Genre Do You Think is Not Your Favorite, But You Find Yourself Picking Up Again and Again?
(The following is a continuation of this post) Historical Romance. I don't usually seek out romance novels, but on occasion, I come across them at second hand stores... and somehow end up walking out with them. And when I say historical romance, I mean bad, cheesy, historical romance. I mean full-on gothic, bodice-ripping, cigarette-ads-in-the-middle, 1970s penny-book … Continue reading Jennifer Asks: What Genre Do You Think is Not Your Favorite, But You Find Yourself Picking Up Again and Again?

Jennifer Asks: What One Currently Living Writer Would You Most Like to Have Lunch, A Beer, or A Coffee With?
(The following is a continuation of this post) Uh... Well... they say you never really want to meet your heroes right?

I think it would … Continue reading Jennifer Asks: What One Currently Living Writer Would You Most Like to Have Lunch, A Beer, or A Coffee With?
G. Edward Asks: If You Could Read Only Genre for Your Remaining Days Which Would It Be?
(The following is a continuation of this post) Well, G. Edward, this sounds like some kind of horrifying Dystopian Nightmare scenario, in which case I suppose the genre I would choose would be whatever subject or information would help me survive the longest. But then on the other hand, would I even want to live in … Continue reading G. Edward Asks: If You Could Read Only Genre for Your Remaining Days Which Would It Be?
