Ben Platt’s voice soars when unleashed, but Honeymind’s careful Americana holds him back, writes queer country singer @tommyatkinsmusic.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed my first gig as a critic, writing for Rainbow Rodeo. Check out my review of Ben Platt's new album, Honeymind 😍 rainbowrodeomag.com/ben-platt-ho...

Hey BlueSky, I’m Tommy. I’m a queer country artist & love songwriting. Had a few #1 chartings over the years and sang duets with much cooler folks than me, like Rissi Palmer and John Hollier. My debut album, Truth Be Told, is out on all streamers 💿🌈 open.spotify.com/album/6aeygm...

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this:

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK.

You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry: a great poem for troubled time...
