No big deal but I interviewed a LITERARY HERO (and literary crush) of mine, ⁦@rokwon⁩. She’s just as witty and wise as I could have hoped, and my conversation with her has lived rent free in my head since it ended. Now it’s up for all to read 🥲 worldliteraturetoday.org/202…

A lot of non art people talk about how AI eliminates drudgery and allows us to "focus on being creative" As if they even know what that means. They don't understand that the process is where the creativity happens. It's in all the small choices you make along the way.

I took my 1st writing class at 15 & have been in more than I can count since. One thing they all have in common is no one ever teaches how to edit. Meet @draftjournal, my favorite #awp22 find: Finished stories beside their 1st drafts. This is Ursula K LeGuin’s School for Wizards.

Replying to @fulmerford
Kelly once said in an interview we did with her for @failsafepodcast that a bad idea is much closer to an interesting idea than a safe idea is. Pure gold.
What do you do with "deleted scenes"? Do you save them in a separate folder just in case you might need any of them in the future? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I don't want to brag but my writing has been called chaotic and exhausting.

#ICYMI: Writing is revision. @draftjournal aims to sit with that messy process. @CharityNebbe spoke with editors @RachelYoder and Mark Polanzak about their new issue which includes work from Carmen Maria Machado and Ursula K. Le Guin. via @IowaPublicRadio iowapublicradio.org/podcast/…

Drafting as craft: Journal opens up the essential process of working through writing

Featuring stories, essays and poetry, first drafts and interviews with authors, draft attempts to part the curtain on the backend work that takes a piece from concept to a flushed out whole.
