I call it “joyful rigor” when I explain this effort to my students. I don’t believe in or rather, I’m not a “suffering poet.” I’m a writer who enjoys writing. The work works on me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to delve into the process at my own pace and to be changed by it.
That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.
The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

It’s wild to me that humans think *anything* in nature might not have a function (like river sediment is just, I don’t know, leftover dust 🤦🏾♀️), but this is good news.

It is not lost on me that we currently don't have a United States Poet Laureate. Ada Limón's second term ended in April. I don't know if there have been other gaps; all of the information I can find suggests that the Poet Laureate position has been filled officially since 1985. 1/3

How I do love an origin myth…written and rewritten and written again. It’s our birthright to do so.

I’m turning Sunday’s screen-free (no phone, no computer, no tv) and it’s really upping my reading game. Spent yesterday with this collection and it was sooooo good. Got me in my lyrical feels about loneliness and connection. Devoured it! Thanks for your gifts @goldengxl.bsky.social
