Nice to see you on here, Mr. Siken!

Hi there

femininominal.bsky.social•96 days ago

do the poet and the onion also have a core in common? or is it just the layers and the crying part

richard-siken.bsky.social•95 days ago

Poets and onions have no core. Peel away the layers and nothing's left. Fiction writers have a core. They are like peaches.

stinastar.bsky.social•95 days ago

Well now I’m confounded. What if one is both. What is both like an onion and a peach 🤔

femininominal.bsky.social•95 days ago

you’d be a very interesting hybrid

richard-siken.bsky.social•95 days ago

You can't be both. You can write in any form or genre, but you are either a poet and a fiction writer. They have different temperaments.

Richard I haven’t had enough coffee for an existential crisis yet

richard-siken.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oh, it isn't a crisis. Either you naturally lean towards plot or you lean away from it. You can adjust your posture. You can do anything you want.

They add flavour to life?

richard-siken.bsky.social•95 days ago

I like to think so :)

stinastar.bsky.social•95 days ago

As a writer and reader, I like to think so too ✨
