All of my scores are in! Thank you to everyone who submitted poetry to the HWA Poetry Showcase. It was a lot of pressure to be one of the judges, but Iโve read all of your work. I really want you all to be very proud. Your editor will be in touch soon. Keep writing, always ๐ค
..excuse me?
The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon. You can always do it better, find the exact word, the apt phrase, the leaping simile. โRobert Cormier #AuthorInspiration
To the reader who asked how much longer I plan to write these: I cannot imagine writing these for longer than 300 weeks, though Iโll admit I did not imagine writing these for longer than 200 weeks, and I did not image writing these for longer than 100 weeks either.
8 more people can also sign up to receive a hand-sewn mystery creature from me every month (or at least as long as you're signed up). Each creature is designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me and takes many hours to create. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature
