Can people actually *see* things when they imagine them? If I picture my dad's face, I mostly get static, but I still have the memory of what he looks like. Whereas if I try to hear Gerard Way in my head, I get a dollar-store version with the correct cadence. This makes writing interesting…
¿Cómo se llama cuando una ciudad limpia las calles antes de las Olimpiadas? Deter-gente.
Olivia loving this new album!! Exquisite lyricism? ✅ Emotional devastation? ✅ Taking me backwards in time to high school? ✅ Guitar? ❌ And you’re so good at the guitar!! Another album w guitarsss pretty please 🥺 Signed, a former emo kid who still enjoys a crunchy guitar riff. #oliviarodrigo
Had a dream that I got two acceptance emails from obscure yet respectable literary magazines. Woke up. They were not real 😭 #writersofbluesky
Still thinking about the time in high school when a group of guys made a bet on which of them could “get with me” for a fake relationship… and now the poem I wrote about it is getting published in Cimarron Review. Hello??? #poetry #litmag #writinglife #revengearc
POV: you’re instastalking your crush’s new partner because it’s only cheating if you stalk *her* profile
Sooooo I’m considering making a Tumblr to share poetry snippets and other random writer stuff… should I?

Where are my former teen writers at? How is your relationship to writing now versus back then? #teenwritingindustrialcomplex
I love turning my lowercase T trauma into art ✌️ #poetsofbluesky
#writersky How do you make your prose more poetic? I also write poetry but find it harder to incorporate assonance, consonance, alliteration, and rhythm into my work. Imagery and figurative language is easier, but still tough.
Fried eggs and ramen 😋 A little burnt, maybe, but delicious anyway! #dinnertime #ramenlover #friedeggs
Establishing a daily writing practice was a game changer. Writers block is at an all time low and my ability to write for sustained amounts of time is at an all time high. Even if it’s just 10 - 20 minutes or approx a page of writing a day, it adds up! #writer #writerscommunity
This was my first ever publication in a literary magazine! Forever grateful to Expo for introducing me to the world of lit mags, both as a #ExpoContributor and #ExpoIntern
