Are you the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/prolific-writers-routine\/\">same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n<p>I like to write at home! While I\u2019m blessed enough to have an office in my current house, I do also sometimes write at my dining room table, perhaps out of nostalgia. I wrote my first poetry collection, <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/JfTZ\"><em>the princess saves herself in this one<\/em><\/a>, at the dining room table of my childhood home as well as inside my car while I was between college classes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m somewhere between a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/prolific-writers-routine\/\">same-thing-everyday kind of writer<\/a> and a write-anytime-anywhere kind of writer. I find myself writing down little bits of inspiration throughout the day, no matter where I am or what I\u2019m doing, and then later on I like to sit down at my computer and make sense of it all\u2014whether that means expanding my thoughts into a poem, deciding it doesn\u2019t work after all, or tucking it away for a different project. When I\u2019m on deadline, you bet I\u2019m sitting down to do this exact thing almost every day!<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have any\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/pre-writing-rituals\/\">pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/strange-writing-habits\/\">habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n<p>No matter where I decide to write, I always light a candle to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-methods-inspire-next-book\/\">invoke inspiration<\/a>, and somehow it always works! Perks of being a witch, I guess \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What do you do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">when the writing isn\u2019t coming easy<\/a>? Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-block-quotes\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a>?\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All the time!<\/p>\n<p>People often assume I don\u2019t experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-block-quotes\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a> because my publishing schedule has been pretty consistent since my debut, but that\u2019s just how it looks from the outside, I promise. I struggle all the time\u2014with ideas, with poems, with narratives, with titles. I try not to see it as a travesty but as part of the overall creative process. If I didn\u2019t have something to work through, I\u2019m not sure the end result would be so satisfying!<\/p>\n<p>In terms of what I do to move past a bout of writer\u2019s block, that really depends! Sometimes I just need to get through it by freewriting a bunch of bad or semi-okay poems, because, if nothing else, I find this really helps me get into the flow of writing again, and the inspiration usually follows shortly thereafter. Sometimes I need to get out there and get re-inspired by reading new books, watching a movie, or going for a walk in nature. Other times, I\u2019ll meditate and pull a tarot card to see what I need to do next.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you judge a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/productivity-secrets-of-prolific-writers\/\">productive writing day<\/a> or an unproductive day? What\u2019s the sign of a good day for you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I call it a good day depending not on the amount of poems I\u2019ve written but if I\u2019m genuinely happy with what I\u2019ve written and where the book is going overall.<\/p>\n<p>On the less inspired days, I give myself brownie points for sitting down at the computer and trying my best. Always go easy on yourself! Writing should be fun, not laborious, but it\u2019s not always going to be easy. Let yourself have a human moment.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>What\u2019s your process for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/tips-for-editing\/\">editing and refining a poem<\/a>? When do you know that the poem is finished?<\/h3>\n<p>I usually get the bare bones of the idea down and rewrite it (at least 5 times, sometimes more than that) until:<\/p>\n<p><strong>[*]<\/strong> It makes logical sense. (I always try to read it from someone else\u2019s perspective.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>[*]\u00a0<\/strong>The line breaks capture the tone or the \u201cmood\u201d of the poem. (I always read it aloud!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>[*]\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m convinced it conveys exactly what I was trying to say or the general feeling I was trying to get across.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[*]\u00a0<\/strong>The poem is written as simplistically as possible, because I truly believe less is more and I favor accessibility above all else!<\/p>\n<p>The poem never feels <em>truly<\/em> finished until I have a title I\u2019m 100% happy with. Sometimes it comes to me right away, sometimes during self-edits, sometimes during beta edits, sometimes during Serious Editor Edits, or sometimes right before the book is going to print! It\u2019s a dangerous sport, because my titles usually come after the piece in the form of a tagline, so it can make or break the whole thing.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-books-every-aspiring-writer-must-read\/\">books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/best-books-writing-process\/\">writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n<p>As clich\u00e9 as it is, <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/gJITT\">the Harry Potter series<\/a>!
