Tired.

Think checking in on social media is an onerous contemporary obligation? A 100 years ago, one sat daily to write and post letters to congratulate colleagues, flatter connections, gossip with friends, disparage siblings, apologize to lovers, to invite and respectfully decline.

@mayakanwal @grackleswrite @TBR_Recommends @mayakanwal I appreciate the kind words so much. Your suggestions on revision made the essay what it is today, thank you!

Survival, persistence, faith--this essay, "Even in the Rain" by @NigelPerry left me agog when he brought it to a workshop I was teaching @grackleswrite - and now it's a total delight to see it out in the world via @TBR_Recommends!

Does anybody else become absolutely arrested creatively when waiting to hear if you won/lost a literary magazine contest? Nobody cares about my sorrows.

Being a writer is like being in an empty gym with no one watching and you're acting out the last 5 seconds of a championship bucket with the whole world watching and you do a difficult move on like 12 defenders and swish the bucket. You get so excited with no one there.

@kirstin_chen Agreed! It was almost nonexistent.

[Nigel Perry @NigelPerry]

@kirstin_chen @michellebrower Ha, I'd be interested know the takeaway!🤓

[Nigel Perry @NigelPerry]

Two types of writers: those who imagine pain and write about it; those who express their pains directly on the page. I wonder if one can tell the difference in the two? I think both create very passionate stories...but which one is better?
