What did we all think of the SB halftime show??
#SuperBowl #BadBunny

I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation!!

Any good podcast suggestions?
My two go-to right now are Weird Studies and AEWCH. I'd love to find more like that or maybe I should branch out...

I always forget how good BoJack is...
I won't watch it for a long time and everytime I come back to it I'm blown away by the writing and love all of the subtle, deep-cut pop culture references. 🤯

Any writers / poets crack the code to the new IG algorithm since the change to 5 hashtags?
My engagement has fallen off a cliff when sharing written pieces... any suggestions?

Having a full day where I was forced to stay in, sit down, and really focus on writing because of the weather… incredible! Time well spent.

Happy Friday everyone!

What art is everyone creating or writing about this weekend?

I started the Wheel of Time series...
I'm not really even that into fantasy, but for some reason I feel called to make it all the way through the series some day 😅
Anyone else read it? Is it worth the inevitable years I will have to invest?

Very nice, thanks for sharing!!

Slow day filled with an overabundance of meetings...

What's everyone writing about today?

Sharing /posting essays seems way more vulnerable and nerve-racking than poetry I've written...
Anyone else feel this?

With each breath, reality gently faded.

Separated at birth, chance reconnected them.

House for auction. Everything inside: 'as-is.'

Out of misunderstanding, the chasm widened.

Time passed; pain softened into nostalgia.

Steps creaked. Upstairs, they cowered, fearful.

After it happened, they rarely spoke.

Nightfall descended. The woodlands became unfamiliar.

#SixWordStory #Hemingway #DailyWriting

Water receded. Nothing remained except memories.

#SixWordStory #Hemingway #DailyWriting

Bloody knife glistens. Detectives canvass nearby.

#SixWordStory #Hemingway #DailyWriting

Without palpable change, collective anger rose.

Her depravity disgusted him and intrigued.
