Check out Motherland by Alejandra Medina in the current issue of LatineLit. The story focuses on just one family but captures truths that are universal.

Write for the child you once were.

Write what they needed to hear.

Write what they needed to know.

Write what they were afraid to ask.

Write for them.

Write for you.

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

You're a writer. And you're going to make it. Somehow. Maybe. You just keep crafting those beautiful sentences. Or just completely stumblefuck your way through it. You're good. Gorgeous. Live más.

you don’t stop being a poet when your heart takes a break from writing. enjoy the bounty of your garden. water every flower. you are more than what you can produce & articulate. you are you.

REASONS TO WRITE
1) there’s not yet a romance with someone like you as the love interest
2) it’s a gift from your ancestors
3) to construct futures we want to live in
3) to prove your musty yt writing profs wrong
2) to dunk on ur enemies
3) sheer pure unadulterated hatred

[Alejandra @amedinawrites]

Anyone know where I can submit a micro chapbook manuscript?

[Alejandra @amedinawrites]

Taking 20 min breaks for every 1 word I write down. Thus, my new collection of poetry begins...

[John Macintosh @jamacintosh]

i've heard there was a crystal flute
that lizzo played and it pleased the youth
but you don't really care for music, do you?

[Ted Gioia @tedgioia]

This is a good time to recall that Gabriel García Márquez got rejected by The New Yorker in 1981—and the next year he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

[Alejandra @amedinawrites]

@sofiaxaguilar 2 novels, a novella, 2 short stories, a collection of poems, a poetry chapbook on works about the body, a collection of horror stories…etc
