Ever the procrastinator, I have (naturally) left my biggest problem pieces for the final two days; I keep hoping that maybe […]

I wasn’t able to be in Creative Writing Club this year (damn you, student teaching & a […]

My writing style is often best defined as, “type and see what happens,” so I particularly like your suggestion of writing a few lines of your own based on another’s poetic statement. Not only […]

Not permanently, at least. Sometimes, it drives me wild knowing that no matter how much time and effort […]

Throughout workshop, […]

Your methodology is so interesting! I love how specific it is–particularly the sock thing. I’m with Ashley on the “make this a poem” thing.

As to my own methodology, I find that it varies widely […]

Juliana & I met at Crickets, and it was a really nice time. I think what I […]

That’s super cool, & I’m glad you had a positive experience. I used to have an extraordinary aversion to showing anybody any of my poetry; if you saw a poem I wrote, I was […]

I’m trying to get a head start on […]

While I don’t want to detract from Sara’s presentation, I am very […]

I’m reminded of one of those little infographics that detail the writing process via pie chart, usually satirically. […]
