#RandomWritingPrompt: It is AWP week!
And AWP is a lot. As we wrote in our monthly email update, it can be "a lot a lot."
For now, take a breath. Try writing that breath (or break.) Give yourself five minutes to just write and refocus. Give yourself a clearing.
We hope to see you at AWP!

#RandomWritingPrompt from Brown Bag Lit:
The blank page can be daunting.
Let's own it - get a piece of paper and just start writing. Maybe you write about emptiness. Or possibilities. Or orderly lines.
Take a piece of paper and write nonstop for at least five minutes. See what comes.
Philly area friends - come on out to hear co-founder @chloeyelenamiller.bsky.social next week!
#RandomWritingPrompt from Brown Bag Lit:
The ocean reaches up and away from the beach, like so many things that come and go. Write this (or another) continuous cycle.

Join online tomorrow (Friday) to hear co-founder @chloeyelenamiller.bsky.social read from her new poetry collection!
A wonderful reading followed by an insightful conversation.
This reading grew out of last semester's poetry workshop. Today, the poets in the workshop and the poets we studied read together. It was lovely.
I cannot stop thinking about the beautiful poems we heard today in our Brown Bag Lit poetry reading with poets Kristen Bales, Alison Damast Dolinger, Laurie Ann Guerrero, Megan Leonard, Caroline M. Mar, Sarah A. Paden and Phoebe Reeves.
