Hi friends &
writers,
I write
this in a major June thunderstorm. My daughter’s stroller is drooping with
puddles and my flip-flops are drying in a corner. I’ve opened all the windows
to bring in that dusty smell of city rain.
The
month of July will bring several guest writers to ‘The Tuesday Writer’ – I’m
excited to introduce them and bring in their voices, venues, and prompts…

PROCESS: WRITING BEGETS WRITING
A wise teacher of mine, Hope Hale Davis, used to tell her students:
“The more you write, the more you have to write; and the more you love, the
more love you have to give. That’s one of the funny things about love and
writing.”
I love these words and have treasured them over the years. How true!
How true on both accounts! Generosity with words begets more words. You’d think
you’d run out, but no.
Try this: Be
decadent with your writing time. Write for too long, and write too much, more
than you think you wanted to say, and see how much more comes out.
FEATURED VENUE: OPEN SPACES
An online quarterly giving voice to the Pacific Northwest, Open Spaces is interested, simply, in
openness; they seek “thoughtful, well-researched articles and insightful
fiction, essays and poetry on a variety of subjects from a number of different
viewpoints.” Paper submissions only.
