So stoked to have been invited to the #TEDxSaltLakeCity2024 #TheBraveandtheBrilliant salon event. Can't wait to have them at Quills in August!!

@earthandair I think it is a thing where we forget the difficulty. Then again, maybe I just picked the wrong program to start (and then drop out of 😂) for my second masters!

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

@alexjaylore Thanks for taking the time to speak up about this. I appreciate you giving us a voice.

There is nothing peaceful about policing. Police do not keep the peace.

Police are repeatedly at the center of social unrest in this country precisely because they are the foot soldiers of an oppressive system.

Rest is not a reward you earn when you’re finished with creative work. It’s a discipline you cultivate to make you more creative. When you rest, you connect with your higher self. When you connect with your higher self, you tap into creative thinking and feed your soul ideas.

We’re two for two on angry blackout poems today. The only questions is whether or not I’ll keep going

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

Harsh my life has been
A serpent might have time for culture
Enough to revive

A way
for a woman to be useful
Pleasant enough
Once more, a gentle weight

It had never occurred to him how useful she might be

She returns
The sharpest pangs dull
“I was so angry.”

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

arguing
proven
passed over
a slap
nothing to offend again

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

I’d have you suffer alongside me
every morning
before the sun can touch
you

there will be time enough

he’s promised me before
her face
her hands
her year
what a way to gain her wish

fractious
staring at the sea
at a dark cloud,
so reluctant

oh man, forever a source of frustration for me coming from the fanfic world is how the vignette is lauded in fanfic but sneered at in genre; the vignette gets slightly more mileage in litfic, but overall I had to assimilate to western “something must Happen for it to be a Story”

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

@swankmotron @LUWriters Well deserved, sir! Congrats!!

I have value. And I have things to say. That you so much to the organizers at the @LUWriters for such a wonderful conference. I look forward to finishing strong tomorrow!

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

The last few months have been hard on my creativity. It’s been difficult to convince myself that my writing has merit and value, or that anyone would be interested in it. Tonight at the #QuillsConference awards ceremony, I won three awards, reminding me that my work has value.

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

@alexjaylore I am sorely tempted to take these off your hands........

[H. L. Voss @WriterHLVoss]

@alexjaylore YES PLEASE
