I say something akin to this to my improv students: plot is superfluous to what we do. A scene isn't about fixing a bike. It's about what's going on between two characters who *happen* to be fixing a bike.

“Thinking the event is the story is the biggest mistake of student writers. The transformation of the self is the story.” ~ Claire Dederer
Congratulations to @Minadora_M whose powerful Brevity essay "Grief-Keeping" has been selected for inclusion in the 2024 volume of Best Spiritual Literature, due out in December. brevitymag.com/nonfiction/gri…
"I think back on the day. I saw, heard, and felt totality—I’m sure. And it pushed me to think about the end–what I need and want to get done before it all disappears, before I disappear." ~ @AndreaAFirth brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/25/cha…
"Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love." ~ Thích Nhat Hanh
"I’ve always written first drafts by hand. Old school. The long way... It’s not that I have poor penmanship ... It’s that when I am excited—when words and ideas are coming fast—The result can be a bit of a mess." ~ @bornstein_roy brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/24/sti…
"You are not meant to understand (a story, poem, essay) in an intellectual, abstract way. You are meant to thrum, like a string on a stringed instrument." ~ Robert Olen Butler
When you've fearlessly written about everything... and discover the one thing you can't. Love this piece by @raquelita at @brevitymag brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/22/the… #writingcommunity #memoir #creativewriting #authorscommunity
As a former journalist, I greatly identify with writing to a specified length, which @OlgaMecking discusses in her excellent essay: "The Joys of Writing to Wordcount." brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/23/the… via @brevitymag
"The best thing about wordcount is the sense of accomplishment I get when I’m done. It’s like being given a sturdy wooden box to fill with my story. It makes me feel safe." ~ @OlgaMecking brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/23/the…
“You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.” ~ Samuel Beckett
People sometimes tell me I’m an open book, and in many ways I am, or at least, I was. But there’s a recent personal issue I’ve struggled to write about. More on that @brevitymag: brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/22/the…
"If you’d asked me a year ago, I’d have told you there was nothing I was afraid to write about. Until pretty much overnight I became the sole caregiver for my mother, who’s in the early stages of dementia." ~ Rachel Kramer Bussel / @raquelita brevity.wordpress.com/2024/04/22/the…
"Quick, quick, tell me something awful. Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy." ~ Taylor Swift
Brevity will end our reading period this year on May 1st. Any work already submitted by that date will be read and responded to in May and June, but the Submittable portal will not reopen until September. Thanks everyone for sending us such amazing work!
"The shortest essay I ever wrote, maybe the shortest essay anyone has ever written, was 'Little Essay on Form.' It went like this: 'We build the corral as we reinvent the horse.'” ~ Stephen Dunn
@brevitymag Dinty, I found this old tweet while I was searching for this exact quote. His widow, Barbara Hurd, was one of my MFA advisors and she quoted this to me years ago when I was freaking out over the structure of my book. I think about it almost daily.
“A choice we make: to pay attention, to extend ourselves” thenation.com/article/activi…
Latest finds for the #WritingCommunity: "How to Make a Living as a Writer: 2023-24 Edition"; "Favorite Writerly Resources"; much more. With thanks to @halekatie, @KellyQAnderson, @OCWW, @IlanaCT, @stevealmondjoy, @brevitymag for sourcing.

I say something akin to this to my improv students: plot is superfluous to what we do. A scene isn't about fixing a bike. It's about what's going on between two characters who *happen* to be fixing a bike.

"The way things appear is not always an accurate reflection of the way things really are. We unwittingly project the qualities of stability and permanence onto a reality that is constantly in flux." - Andrew Holecek
"When we stop resisting sadness—trying to sweeten it with phone calls, distractions, or pleasures—and just let ourselves feel it in all its heaviness, darkness, and pain, it disappears by itself" —David Edwards #DailyDharma buff.ly/4csqvHR
Who the hell is out there teaching people to say "MEM-wahhhhh" for memoir? Like, that's not even close to French, if that's what you're going for. This pronunciation exists at the precise intersection of pretentious and wrong.
If you want to sound French, say maym-WAHR (with a throaty French R at the end). If you want to sound American and normal, say MEM-wahr. But MEM-wahhh is absolute nonsense.

Thank you @PublishersWkly for featuring CACTUS COUNTRY in your Endnotes section! I am so grateful to my incredible @ABRAMSbooks editor @_abbymuller, agent @frecklywench, and cover designer Kelly Winton, for all of the care that made my book what it is: publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in…
Sometimes grace looks like running out of any more good ideas. Sometimes it’s a second wind or buoyancy you hadn’t expected. Sometimes it just looks like it not being yesterday any more. But grace always finds you exactly where you are, and does not leave you where it found you.
