so many lines in this that i want to quote and reference back that i do not know where to start. The writing exercise has my brain spinning, but just for sheer beauty of language, writing instruction aside, i so deeply loved this.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on this--it means more than you know! And re the sharing, my goodness, please do haha. It really helps me to build this place!
I've been cherry-picking writing prompts from your substack, and have noticed a pattern: read; believe exercise to be beyond my capabilities; and start writing because this is the time I have set aside to write. As I spin my wheels, a piece I never imagined blooms before me on the page. Thank you!

I've taken to tagging a few substack posts in each of my weekly roundup. adding you to my file for a future one for sure.
This writing prompt is on fire 🔥 like you. I am tangled in stars of possibilities.
Oh, friend. Thank you, thank you.
Oh my thank you!!
this is how I write and teach/ get away from the mundane by making it sublimely strange.
Me too. Strange is my portal to everything better.
