Thank you for this great presentation, I am off to the Writer's Rising Retreat next week and have been receiving your writing prompts, Anne. I am more excited now about attending than I was before watching this. So many great suggestions and tips. Thank you.
I approach all my art, poetry, visual art, performance, singing, etc. Differently. It's not hard. T flows like stream of conciousness with very LITTLE editing. I learn by writing, not reading about writing or going to workshops that say that writing is very hard and it's going to go very badly.
Well, I think you’re probably one of the lucky minority who’s able to do this! It’s enviable for sure. But I also think it’s worth respecting that what Anne’s describing resonates with so many of us bc she describes an experience we find pretty common.
.We all have a blind spot, right? That bit of incorrect information from childhood that mysteriously never gets updated, the person who makes it to thirty-five believing that unicorns had been hunted into extinction.” “Wait, unicorns weren’t hunted . . .” He smiled at me, tipping his head to one side as if to say I was adorable, as in, I was to be adored. Hi, How would you interpret the play-word in " adorable, as in , I was to be adored. " please?
How generous and valuable this is. No-one puts it better and without ego 🙏♥

Oh my God, right as in WRITE! I have so got to learn to proofread before I hit comment.🤪
I am astonished how clearly she is describing exactly what I am experiencing in rediscovering poetry these last 10 months in my middle age.
Do we understand why they were walking across the room with just a foot-long pice of fishing wire and what that would mean? Love Anne Lamott.
