The Great Lock-In for Writers is coming. Comment WRITE ON to join the challenge.

For 60 days, we’re putting the excuses down and the writing back on the calendar.

Not because you suddenly have more time.
Not because life is going to get less busy.

Because your writing deserves a place in your life right neoooow.

The 60-Day Write On Challenge is for the writer who keeps saying:
“I’ll get back to it.”
“I just need to find the time.”
“I’ll write when things calm down.”

This time, we’re not waiting. Nah!

You’ll write every day, read a writing craft book, share your progress with the group, and have a community of writers locking in alongside you.

We’ve done this for 3 years. 50+ writers have shown up and kept writing.

Now it’s your turn.

>>>We start September 1. Are you ready to WRITE ON?

I love this quote from The Minimalists:

"Every time we relive the past or fixate on the future, we trade this moment for a hallucination, and we abandon the only place life can ever happen: right here, right now."

I am very grateful to Hannah, the owner of Acquired Taste, for the artist feature!

Meet Camari Carter-Hawkins: Writing as a Lifeline, Incense as a Ritual

Happy 10 years to the book that made me an author, Death by Comb.

Ride with me down memory lane. I’m feeling so sentimental over this. Time did not go by fast but in many ways, I feel like I’m still this version of me, but also not.

Becoming an author is one of my favorite things about myself. I’ve always written since I was a kid. I kept up a journal since I could formulate a sentence so it was only a matter of time that I’d become a writer.

It’s amazing what you can do when you give yourself permission to.

I have so much to say, honestly, I may just hop on ig live.

Yet, I want to thank for publishing this work.
for the community and support and launch pad
// for nurturing me
God for doing your big one
And me for allowing it.

Won’t you celebrate with me and get a copy directly from worldstagepress.org?

I had an awesome time featuring at . Yo! What an honor for real…

Moments like these reignite my fire and love for writing and being on stage. Dang, I’ve missed it and I’m sad I had been away for so long. But, seasons…

I can’t wait to share some of the poetry videos and share this love with you all.

Thank you for the love near and far. It was felt! Thanks to my ppl for coming out and listening and getting on the mic. Big love to the team at APS. Everything you do matters. I hope you remember that. 🩵

Another reminder of the goodness of God in the Earth.

poetry saves me every time and I’m grateful for any chance I get to share
