[Tim Ouellette @TimOuellette]

Life leaves fingerprints.
A memoir isn’t about proving you were important. It’s about preserving the moments, failures, risks, relationships, and quiet turning points that shaped who you became.

Stories disappear when they aren’t told.
Tell yours before memory becomes silence.

In this economy, might be better if poetry were a kind of money.

I have a new one-act children's opera, Maya and the Magic Ring, premiering at Kansas City Lyric Opera in late March. The music by Lori Laitman is appropriately magical.

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”

— Henry David Thoreau

I am so excited to introduce myself as a book writer!
#WritingCommunity I am Zimran Jacob and I write dramatic satire. TV credits: The Punisher, Narcos, Hannibal, had a pilot produced, and my novels are social and political satire. I would love to connect with fellow authors!

Really enjoyed this article, especially what the author wrote about failure. Your failures need not define you; however, they are an integral part of the writing process and, I believe, influence a writers burgeoning voice.

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

I am in what @RyanHoliday mentions, in his book Perennial Seller, as the “drawdown” phase of my book: letting the idea marinate, taking the time to think, to ponder, to find out in which direction the work will take me.

Write that thing. Make it weird. Make it sad. Make it funny or kinky or scary or whatever you want. Write what makes you happy.

Hey hey, I got accepted into Tin House again! 🙌 When I went in 2020 for short fiction I had JUST started writing fiction and it was my first fiction workshop ever. 😨 I was so scared. But it was an incredible experience and I feel so lucky I got to experience it. It was also…
