Short one today, folks.

I’ve talked about CAConrad before as a poet I draw inspiration from, but I also wanted to shout out one of my previous professors, Katrine Øgaard Jensen. You can read some of her amazing poems here.

I think the thing I loved about Katrine so much is that she truly saw writing as something that could be done collaboratively and in community with others. Part of why she was able to have that mindset is because she didn’t see the writing world as operating on scarcity. Rather than see her fellow writers as competitors for publishing deals, she approached everything as if there was plenty to go around. This is a mindset I’ve tried to adopt as well, believing that we can all get the recognition we want, and that there will never be too many writers in the world. It makes me feel better.

Love and gratitude.

I am trying to post something every day reflecting on creativity, what’s inspiring me now and what’s inspired me in the past, what I’m working on. Think of this is a public writing journal, made public only in an attempt to make myself more accountable.
