long story short
long story short scrapped my wordy drawn-out deconstruction saga and swapped it out for angsty poetry * This is a poem from my book, unbelieve, which I just UNPUBLISHED on Amazon yesterday (OMG) because I'm re-releasing a new edition with my publisher, Lake Drive Books very soon. (stay tuned for some fun giveaways on Instagram) And speaking of turning my long-winded prose into short poems, I'm hosting a FREE online discussion on Tuesday, September 12th at 8:00pm ET with Writing For Your Life called: CREATING POETRY FROM PROSE. I'd love to see you there! Have you ever taken a piece of writing that was long and wordy and condensed it into a pithy poem? Tell me about it!
I feel like that condensing into poetry thing keeps happening to me more and more. I've always thought more in images, so poetry is often a better medium for my writing than anything too long-form.
I just recently read Unbelieve and love and relate to it so much - what a healing balm for my also angsty self. I used to blog and want to get back into it but also want to explore poetry as a way of condensing long pieces
