To celebrate a different kind of love - the love for our minds and bodies - FLARE Magazine has released a special Valentine's Day issue. I'm ecstatic to have contributed to such an important cause, right beside so many talented writers. ❤️ Please enjoy! flaremagazinecom.wordpress.com/stalled-by-k...

If you can't beat imposter syndrome, embrace it. Go to bed every night and snigger to yourself about how you managed to convince everyone— your friends, your agent, and even those nice people at Netflix who want to turn your book into a movie— that you're a real author. #writingtip #writersky

Writing poetry is like Sudoku. Sometimes you’re stuck staring at the puzzle, searching and searching for the clue that will crack the code. Once found, it falls like Dominoes. The problem is: sometimes those stuck spots stay unknowable. #poetry #writers #writersky #writing

Feeling like a big, brave dog and submitting more than I have before. Still nervous, though. Gotta learn to live with rejection! #poets #poetry #writingcommunity #amwriting

Any other poets/writers get to working on a piece that writes itself except for ONE FREAKING LINE (or stanza) that just won’t work? Ahhh!! 😡🤬😫 #poetry #poet #writing #writerproblems

Woke up to an email telling me one of my poems has been accepted in the next issue of @flaremagazine.bsky.social ! I’m thrilled there is more attention coming to chronic illnesses and disabilities, and I’m honored to be a part of it in some small way. Comes out February 14th!

I saw Taylor Mali perform his poetry years ago during undergrad. He’s a powerful performer, so I felt inspired to pick this up!
