Workshops are Treasure Troves
Why should we have confidence in our writing? This is a question that has many answers. Because you’re a good writer, because you’re writing about important topics, because people love your work, because you care… We’re missing something important if we start here, though. The bigger question is, how do we GET confident?

Humorous Haikus. Top Story - December 2023.
It all started during the "Short & Sweet" challenge, as I sat counting both syllables and letters for my last-minute haikus. Remember how they granted an extension because of a technical difficulty on the final day? I wrote several during that time – haikus, that is – and while I was rushing to get them submitted, there my husband was, writing haiku after haiku while he lounged in bed, loudly mocking me. Counting on his fingers.

WINNERS! – Grocery List Challenge
When I started this challenge, I was not expecting as many entries as I got. Why? I worried it was too restrictive, perhaps off-putting. After all, my goal for setting this up was to encourage minimalism. A grocery-list (or shopping-list) poem seems easy at first glance, but when you sit down to start, it quickly becomes clear there is a narrow path forward. How can just a few items imply a whole story, emotional depth and complexity, get to the heart of daily life?
