An announcement

A little pivot & good news

Happy April and National Poetry Month, everyone!

I hope sunshine is starting to sneak into your days, and your souls are stretching and yawning back to life. Maybe you are crawling out of a winter hibernation and ready to explore something new.

If so, same.

While I’ve absolutely loved sharing my poems with you each month, we’re heading in a new direction this season.

Why?

Well, I’m saving most of my poems for my poetry book…which is set to release this year!

CUE: The confetti! The champagne! The piñata!

Since I’m spending so much time in the book world, it’s also what I want to write about. I want to share about bringing this book to life. I want to talk about prioritizing creativity when the rest of life presses in from all sides. I want to chat about the artistic process: my own, yours, and others’. (Message me if you’d like to collaborate!)

The hardest part — working on the order and sequence

Writing can be a lonely task, with only commas and em-dashes for friends. ;) I’m incredibly grateful for this community and I can’t wait to share more of this journey with you. If you’re here reading, leave me a comment and let me know—what are you curious about? Creativity, writing/artistic process, publishing, poetry, or something else entirely?
