@LidsRodney That's one reason I don't tweet much.

[Patricia Wentzel @PJWentzelwrites]

@LidsRodney @chrisiant That's great. Someone to lean on if you need them. Hope things improve soon.

[Patricia Wentzel @PJWentzelwrites]

My sister and I just got mistaken for twins at a diner. I'm 61 and she's 53. I think it was my purple hair. It makes me look younger.

Hella grateful for Tarfia Faizullah who taught me to look at poems less as final products and more like experiments, evidence of play, and often guiding post towards the other poems waiting to be wrote.

@BB_Swann Some people feel the word is imprecise and over used and many times comes across as ableist. Only you know what you meant, that's a good reason to consider changing it in my opinion.https://t.co/UB3HrHHkTa

@LidsRodney There's nothing like telling your story.

[Patricia Wentzel @PJWentzelwrites]

More than eight years after a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, many in the country still have no access to clean water. And the cholera epidemic there seems to be spiralling out of control https://t.co/C6fvrmcGEM

Wish we knew who she was. Nobody thought to leave a note. Got pictures back to 1850s with no notes.

It's been a nightmare. Don't do this to your family.

Invest in a really good shredder when your time comes to clean out your parent's garages/houses/sheds. We're on garage#3 house#3

@insomnicole @AuthorLBrown Month

[Patricia Wentzel @PJWentzelwrites]

@insomnicole @AuthorLBrown Joined multiple critique groups. Forced me to write something new for every meeting 8x/no. Listened when both groups told me it was time I put together a book of my poems.
