Do you write in your notes app? A small moleskin? A hefty spiral notebook? Or good ol’ Word and Google Docs?
Today, we’re not just talking about formatting; we’re talking about the habitats of your poems. Because where you write matters. Because poems are like goldfish—they will only grow as big as their tank allows.
I’ll tell you about the process of writing my 2 Excel poems (I Wrote This Poem On Company Time and Poem In Which I Circle Back), and Depression Flipbook, and how you can find new homes for your poems to live and grow.
Next week, in part 2, I’ll tell you about the unique habitat for my poem, Existence Checklist.
Before we get to the good stuff, remember that there is a link at the bottom of this post for paid subscribers to submit one piece a month to me for detailed feedback. It’s been an honor to read your work—thank you for trusting me with it.
