muttering to myself: the revolution will have stickers
Good idea! 😎
Soooo tired of proclaiming how terrible I am at poem titles.
Even more tired of BEING terrible at poem titles! 😔
I’m convinced it’s holding many drafts back from being picked up by lit mags.
Help! What tips or resources can you share?
omg you’re right 🤣
This is 100% true for me, too, and yet… do I write consistently? No. No, I do not.
Sometimes I forget that making something makes me feel inordinately better about the world.
