Funnyboner-killer

ramblings and rumblings from my brain-stomach — I don’t know if writing poetry Is a funny boner-killer But it sure feels that way When everything I write sounds heavy and ponderous devoid of playfulness Every word heavy as a barbell *** I don’t know how to write stories I just know how to go through my day …

Focus on things you like What do you like about anything you’re…

“5am text message: RELOCATE RELOCATE RELOCATE”

Disclaimer: I’m trying to write fiction but the planet is yelling at me in the middle of the night to wake up and stop the destruction of Mother Earth I fell asleep last night thinking about global warming and then woke up from a bad dream about it, too. Awesome woohoooo yayuhhhhh! In the dream, I was looking at my phone and there were like a quadrillion text messages all saying the same thing: ‘RELOCATE RELOCATE RELOCATE RELOCATE.’

Now Me vs Old Me

a dialogue that is TOTALLY fictional — ‘Now’ me talking to ‘Old’ me: when and why did you stop reading books… like fiction? Old me: what are you talking about? I was always reading. What are YOU reading? Nothing but blogs or non-fictiony self-help crap, right? Now: no, that’s not true. I read all kinds of stuff…

Wanda the Paintbrush
