Karl Holzer

Sarcastic writer who bangs on metal objects to make them into swords and such.

9.
His people mourn him
A true Viking funeral
Funeral pyre

His treasures are safe
Below a barrow they rest
Overlooking seas

Beowulf
1.
King Hrothgar mad money
Super successful big time
Mead-hall called Heorot

Party way too loud
Grendel monster from the swamp
Not happy at all

Kills the Danes just cuz
Dark and cold years go right past
Grendel kills at night

[Karl Holzer @KarlHwrites]

8.
An old man is he
When a thief screws it all up
Don’t steal from barrows

For there are dragons
A dragon attacks the Geats
Beowulf must fight

A dragon he slays
But dragon’s bites are poison
Old Beowulf dies

Just passed the 70,000 word mark for my novel #writing

[Karl Holzer @KarlHwrites]

#writing is a funny thing. I had major writer's block before covid and all of a sudden, last week I got back into the groove and went back to writing 500 words a day. Hope it continues.

I just spent 20 minutes researching native Hawaiian fruit for a single sentence. #WritingCommunity #writing

Sometimes all you need to get your writing on track is a four mile walk. #brainwave #writing

During a #writing craft talk I attended, I asked the question: do you come up with a playlist for your novels/poems/writing? I'm glad I asked for a number of people there said yes. #nottheonlyone Also, I got directed to this brilliant blog: https://t.co/oz1DhffdBL

The elusive writer out of his usual element. #Reading

Another public reading down! I got a few snickers at the parts I thought would be funny, so I'm happy. @colgatewriters Thanks for the opportunity!

[Karl Holzer @KarlHwrites]

I'm going to be doing a public reading of one of my #shortstories on Thursday for the Colgate Writers Conference. Wish me luck!

@KevinMCatalano New book, a couple graphic novels in a row, some non-fiction. Maybe a re-read of a favorite. That's my usual #reading order.

@fayettevillelib I figured I should share some before and after pics of the #lightsaber I printed in the #fablab.
