Still thinking about the time in high school when a group of guys made a bet on which of them could “get with me” for a fake relationship… and now the poem I wrote about it is getting published in Cimarron Review.
Hello???

Always wonderful to see the @expositionreview.bsky.social fam in the flesh! They were a wonderful first lit mag to me as a contributor and intern ❤️ Note: I have not (yet) won the overall AWP poetry contest at Cæsura, just the Thursday bracket 😅
Got to see #ExpoContributor and former #ExpoIntern @raynealarcio.bsky.social at WriteGirl’s booth at #awp25! Plus they won Caesura Mag’s AWP poetry contest!

Me: So there’s this radio station that’s called 94.7
— *pause*
The rest of the class: *like sleeper agents* —the waaaAAAve!
Everyone: *laughs*
New kid: *is confused*
Someone: Welcome to California!

Where are my former teen writers at? How is your relationship to writing now versus back then?

I love turning my lowercase T trauma into art ✌️ #poetsofbluesky

How do you make your prose more poetic? I also write poetry but find it harder to incorporate assonance, consonance, alliteration, and rhythm into my work. Imagery and figurative language is easier, but still tough.

Establishing a daily writing practice was a game changer. Writers block is at an all time low and my ability to write for sustained amounts of time is at an all time high. Even if it’s just 10 - 20 minutes or approx a page of writing a day, it adds up! #writer #writerscommunity
