•You’re not a writer if you’re not published
•You’re not a writer if you don’t write every day
•You’re not a writer if you don’t outline
No, you ARE a writer—even if the only thing you have written this month is a grocery list.
You have a story to tell. Persist!

I thought I’d learn something about history.

A poem by Mary Oliver has been rattling around in my heart and head for the past week.
“Here is a story
to break your heart.
Are you willing? . . .
I mean that it break open and never close again
to the rest of the world.”
Artists, the world needs you now more than ever.

It really sucks that all I want to do right now is write literary criticism and read January releases, but American politics are making it reeeally hard to focus on anything else.
