#introduction
Just landing here from there. Interested in poetry and writing peeps. Journals, literary fictions, writer chats, etc. so forth. Works in tech. Friendly. Respectful. Not so interested in what billionaire's think.
I wrote a sonnet about the downs. And boy are there downs in this world right now! That #poem is up now on Neologism #Poetry, Issue 60. It's called "Bring me down". And it's accompanied by "Reincarnated as a bird", all about being fraught. #amwriting

My poem "Making Space: Black holes and other loners, 2019" is published in Yellow Arrow Journal's latest issue, UpSpring. They publish writers/artists who identify as women. Buy an issue. Read good stuff. Feel awesome!! https://www.yellowarrowpublishing.com/store/yellow-arrow-journal-upspring-paperback
People are rolling down the street with their little campers, heading for the mountains. And now I want a camper!! I want to sleep under the stars. Sleeping-bagged. Nestled in some wee grove. Hear the wind in the trees. Wake up chilly. Slurp instant coffee. Hike trails where bear and cougar lurk!! #24thOfMay

Just read some of Jose Hernandez Diaz #poems. What a huge talent he is. Here are just a handful: https://therumpus.net/2020/07/30/rumpus-original-poetry-four-poems-by-jose-hernandez-diaz/
Just finished #reading "Where the Sky Meets the Ocean and the Air Tastes Like Metal and the Birds Don't Make A Sound" by Dan Hoy, Mike Kleine, and it was bonkers, yet I feel I understood it at some level beyond sentences. That said, I could not tell you the plot for love nor money. It's a ride!! Not a #book for the those who want clearly defined plot and obvious connections!!
I just wrote a piece of #speculative fiction. Huh. 🌑 1961 words. Slightly weird. #writing
It is quite usual for me to have 4 or 5 #books in play at once. I get bored or distracted, even with the best #writers. I drop one and pick up another. Sometimes a book will lie fallow for years only for me to pick it up and finish it like I'm being chased :)
What is your #reading habit? Serial devotion to a single book? Multiple #novels at once? Main novel with short fiction chaser interruptions? Re-reading the same book?
Folks say join a #writing group. And that is all well and good but who? when? where? what if they are all more impatient than me? (clearly that is not possible, but, whatever, I am consumed with speculation right now!!!)
Regarding Roe vs Wade rollback in US. Remember: Abortion laws do not decrease abortion rates.
They do increase rate of death for the woman 34x. (credit DrPoorman on Twitter) Abortion on demand is a life-saving choice.
