Today was the first snow day of my career. It started sleeting and snowing as we left school yesterday and schools around the state were cancelled today.
So I spent the day organizing my life - which I do every break I get - and getting ready to publish my first poetry book, The Risk to Bloom. I am done with my part of the writing. I have two people writing introductions, though I might only choose one. I need to write an author's note and choose cover art. I am scheduling a promotional photo shoot. I have appointed a creative director - my best friend, Jessica, who I don't pay, lol. Yet! And I am overwhelmed in a good way.
I wrote and edited a poem for a show next week. Procrastinor, much? But I like the poem. Working sporadically on memorization.
The show is going to be incredible. I'm excited for Soul Williams and honored that I was chosen to be a part of the magic.
I have realized that listening to poets - specifically The Strivers Row - on YouTube while I write, edit, and rehearse keeps me motivated. So while I was doing that, I heard this and needed to post it.
Alysia Harris is everything. Everything.
She loves Jesus, too, if you were wondering. Follow her twitter.
