Friday Find: Five Ways to Write a Poem (and Maybe a Few More)
How do I write thee? Let me count the ways….
Or maybe not.
Still, there are plenty of ways to write a poem, and this week, Robert Lee Brewer shared five techniques that have helped when he’s “been stuck in a rut.” Check the comments thread, too.
Since I’m a fan of prompts, I’ll also point you to poet Diane Lockward’s recent post featuring sites that provide poetry prompts.
Enjoy, and have a great weekend. See you back here on Monday!
Thursday’s Work-in-Progress: Seeking Your Advice
If you follow this blog, it’s no secret that I’m still pretty interested in freelancing, even if I do have a full-time job. The time I have for it is just more limited than it once was.
But I want to continue developing my freelancing skills and practice. So here’s my question: Is an ASJA membership something I should be pursuing? I’m starting to notice all of the publicity surrounding the next annual conference, so I’m giving it some thought.
I welcome your advice–especially if you’re a past or present ASJA member! I’m especially interested in knowing how ASJA may have helped your freelancing practice. Thanks in advance.
