@PenguinUKBooks William Stoner 🩷

Who is your favourite book character, if you could only pick one? 📚✨

@wimpykid Jeff, I wanted to reach out because you are being honoured (by my 10 year old, Dante) as the person he picked for his Day of the Distinguished project. He would absolutely love a comment from you he could add in his project to read to his classmates.😆

My poem in @Heroin_Chic_Mag ❤️ #WritingCommmunity #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetrylovers

@Heroin_Chic_Mag Thank you for including my poem in this issue! ❤️❤️

I hope they keep the fig tree I hope they keep the fig tree I don’t know how to say goodbye to my home with the scotch finger bricks or what you will look like now, but thank you for the safety, the lessons, & even the heartache- you were the vessel in which so much life happened

@aubrirose As a Capricorn- I approve!

in honor of capricorn season, thread of my favorite gifs that come up when i simply type “capricorn”:

I have spent years, folding myself like origami to make sure no one feels U N C O M F O R T A B L E so here I am twisted into a crooked Swan smiling- like everything is fine #poetry #poetrytwitter #poetrycommunity #POEMS #WritingCommunity

@Holycrap2021 Ah thank you so much lovely!! ❤️

The link picture pulls the description with a typo- but i promise it actually says "an" in the real thing 🙃

@silentkil_er A donut

What’s the cheapest thing someone can buy for you that can make you happy?

@PauljGarth @aubrirose Yes! And with 3 I find myself deciding whether to jot something down or scratch myself. No time for both haha But congratulations @aubrirose that is a effing cool flex!! Superstar!

i devoted most of my time this year to raising a tiny human (a job i was brand new to) and i found myself writing very little: only when truly inspired. i submitted even less. 3 times to be exact…and all 3 were acceptances. i know this is a weird flex, but in lieu of pride (1/2)

@ImLaurenTheresa Submit to smaller mags (check on submittable they have essays and articles not just fiction and poetry subs) 😁

writing friends, how do you get a foot in the door with editorial pieces for magazines, journals, etc.? All freelancing jobs seem to require sample work from other freelancing jobs that require samples. All leads/advice are appreciated ✨✍️

I have a little poem about saying goodbye to the house I grew up in the December issue of @Heroin_Chic_Mag Love this mag! heroinchic.weebly.com/blog/poetry-by… #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter #poetrycommunity #poetrytwitter #POEMS

Today JAKE's on an airplane, but he brings you a new poem by @writerlp that's sky high! #poetry #amreading #amwriting jakethemag.com/cerebral-remov…

Check out my little poem 'Cerebral Removalists' on @publishedbyJAKE this week! #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity

@Taffy_Marlngton @caitief The servers don't matter. Most of the people I follow aren't on the same server as me. Use hashtag of your interests to find people, then follow them and then your feed will fill up with like-minded folk

@kevinonpaper @caitief Writing.exchange but it's temporarily overloaded so you can't join at the moment. But you can pick art or social to jump on and then find writers to follow by using hashtags links #writingcommunity but when they open again you can migrate across.

@_AnnParks_ @NathanJonesBook @JohannesWalker2 @caitief You can see likes but which app are you using? It isn't as much about self promotion as Twitter is. Your likes count towards being seen more. It's just genuine likes. Refreshing. You can't buy engagement because it also doesn't mean anything. I guess it depends on what you want.

@NathanJonesBook @writerlp @JohannesWalker2 @caitief I liked it at first but I don’t get why I can only see the number of likes & replies in #Explore. I asked because I thought my phone was broken and someone wrote, “Why do you need to see numbers of likes?” Because it doesn’t make sense & I’m put off. Hope they simplify.

@JenVanderputten @caitief Intentional! That is a good word to describe my experience too. Yes! I'll add you. Mine is @writerLP@writing.exchange
