What I Really Do…

#WhatIReallyDo Full-time writing isn’t always typing and musing…the admin work, website, Etsy, emails, etc, won’t manage themselves. 😉 What does your #WritersLife look like?

Pop Up Poetry Event: Artists’ Reception at Broadway Coffeehouse

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on February 6, 2015

I had the pleasure of being invited to do #PopUpPoetry this Thursday for Broadway Coffeehouse‘s Artists’ Reception, featuring the Friday Artists (showing off their paintings and artwork currently displayed at Broadway) and Branches Company (a local acoustic musician).

This was my first live gig, and can I just say how how humbled and awed I am by how my city is welcoming me with open arms?! Thank you, Salem! It was incredible; the evening had a slow, laid-back pace (rather than the rapid pace I’m used to), but I was grateful for it–I had the opportunity to engage in deeper conversations with the people asking me for custom poetry. We laughed and networked and exchanged stories and business cards. Now this…this is what life should be about–being intentional and authentic with the people around you. Busking is hard, SO hard, but now that I know what I know…I don’t think I can stop. Thank you to everyone who made Thursday night such a wonderful evening for me and for supporting your local artists. Thank you to my dear, dear husband for being the best personal assistant! You made this night seamless for me! See y’all on the streets! (And a special thank you to Eddie Cabbage. I’m the luckiest jedi-in-training in the world!)

Quote: Gustave Flaubert

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on February 5, 2015

Flaubert understood what it meant to be an artist. The definition of a “Creative” has changed drastically since his time…and I’m not too thrilled about it. Good literature is and isn’t dead. #borninthewrongera #beorderly #beoriginal #checkyourself (Handwritten piece by yours truly.)

Chronic fatigue has led me to this conclusion, darling. ❤ Your truth is worth every moment spent in my level of hell.
