Life can sometimes be a series of small elegant unspoiled moments; I find my strength to go on in exactly these. #writingprompt #inspiration #Writing #WriterCommunity #PoetryCommunity #Poem #poetrysky #blueskypoetry #poetry #prompt #mpprompt @malformed-poetry.bsky.social

*Not written by AI, you can tell by the poorly constructed sentences, awkward lack of capitalization and punctuation, and multiple typos. **I'm especially sorry about the typos #lonelywritersclubnw #realmaxmagenta #sorryabouthetypos #PoetryCommunity #Poem #poetrysky #blueskypoetry #poetry

I wish you all love and great success for 2026. I stay humble in the face of each one of your acts of generosity and grace. Thank you all, each and every one. #NYE #thankyou #lonelywritersclubnw #realmaxmagenta

When I asked them how to find them, they replied: "Open your eyes, I'm out in these streets every day. Look for me, and you'll find me, I guess." They then shrugged and smiled. #ghost #notonline #PoetryCommunity #Poem #poetrysky #poetry

I made my first sale of my book to the general public today. Stoked doesn't even come close to covering it. Also did a brisk business on zine mystery packs, which was a bit of a shock, tbh. I was just happy to be there! #lonelywritersclubnw #realmaxmagenta #zinefest #pilsen #pilsenconfessional

We'll be here today. Come say hi! #pilsenzinefest2025 #lonelywritersclubnw #realmaxmagenta

A bit of prose for this Wednesday... #writingprompt #inspiration #Writing #WriterCommunity #mpprompt @malformed-poetry.bsky.social

Finally holding a paper copy of this in my grubby little paws is sublime af. You can get it here in both Kindle and paperback: a.co/d/0w9rl7Z #lonelywritersclubnw #maxmagenta #indieauthor #supportme #stupidlittlelovepoems

Just a reminder that myself and TheLonelyWritersClubNW will have a table at Pilsen Zinefest this Saturday from 2-6pm. We'll have all sorts of zines, books, and stickers to check out and pick up. Stop by and say hi, why don't you? #pilsenzinefest2025 #lonelywritersclubnw #realmaxmagenta

One of the tightest entries I've ever submitted into a chapbook contest came back a no-go today. At least the rejection email wasn't cold and dehumanizing. Time to retool for wider submission and find it a home. #rejection #lonelywritersclubnw #realmaxmagenta

In late 1991/early 1992 I first heard the album 'Gish' by the group Smashing Pumpkins, and their track 'Rhinoceros.' Grunge followed. #writingprompt #inspiration #Writing #WriterCommunity #PoetryCommunity #Poem #poetrysky #blueskypoetry #poetry #prompt #mpprompt @malformed-poetry.bsky.social

Anne curates this community in a way that feels both organic and oh so lovely. I was lucky enough to have a few of my one line haiku included in this anthology, which is now available at the link below! #haikufeels #haiku #onelinepoetry #maxmagenta #lonelywritersclubnw #poetry #poetrysky

I've been working on this off and on (mostly off) for 3 or 4 weeks. I think it finally feels done. Mostly composed in MS Paint, with a few after effects/added text in Canva. "smoke break" digital collage, 2025. #digitalcollage #collage #artsky #art #collageart #surrealism

What a lovely idea. One of mine from a while ago (a slightly different version than the first time I shared it). #poetry #sunday #poetrysky #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

I'm still putting the final touches on this, but I wanted to share the cover art. Tentative release date is Black Friday, 2025! #inspiration #Writing #WriterCommunity #PoetryCommunity #Poem #poetrysky #poetry #firstlook #comingsoon #lonelywritersclubnw
