To create from words Beautiful scenes, crafted hearts Is the calling of Poets and world-changers but I am not them. #impostersyndrome #poetry #writingsky

A total honor to share a snippet of my experience with RA. Again, I love what this magazine seeks to do for chronic illness!

I'm ecstatic to have contributed to such an important cause, right beside so many talented writers. ❤️ Please enjoy! flaremagazinecom.wordpress.com/stalled-by-k...

Thrilled to be a part of this issue. Please check it out and the other amazing writers! @flaremagazine.bsky.social flaremagazinecom.wordpress.com/special-vale...

If you can't beat imposter syndrome, embrace it. Go to bed every night and snigger to yourself about how you managed to convince everyone— your friends, your agent, and even those nice people at Netflix who want to turn your book into a movie— that you're a real author. #writingtip #writersky

I guess I know what I’m reading now!

Writing poetry is like Sudoku. Sometimes you’re stuck staring at the puzzle, searching and searching for the clue that will crack the code. Once found, it falls like Dominoes. The problem is: sometimes those stuck spots stay unknowable. #poetry #writers #writersky #writing

Feeling like a big, brave dog and submitting more than I have before. Still nervous, though. Gotta learn to live with rejection! #poets #poetry #writingcommunity #amwriting

Tomorrow is the last day to submit for our special Valentine's Day issue: "Love to the Mind and Body." Submit here: flaremagazinecom.wordpress.com Please spread the word! We'd love to read more flash fiction, CNF, and hybrids! #callforsubs #litmags

Any other poets/writers get to working on a piece that writes itself except for ONE FREAKING LINE (or stanza) that just won’t work? Ahhh!! 😡🤬😫 #poetry #poet #writing #writerproblems

Not that I have a lot of juice on BlueSky but anyone who sees this should consider contributing!

Woke up to an email telling me one of my poems has been accepted in the next issue of @flaremagazine.bsky.social ! I’m thrilled there is more attention coming to chronic illnesses and disabilities, and I’m honored to be a part of it in some small way. Comes out February 14th!

I saw Taylor Mali perform his poetry years ago during undergrad. He’s a powerful performer, so I felt inspired to pick this up!
