#Writing, #poetry, #journaling, #storytelling: It begins with #honesty. Honesty about the cruel, ugly, terrible things we experience... Honesty about the beautiful, awe-inspiring, amazing things we get to experience. Capturing all of that and distilling it down into written form for all to see!

#Writing for meaning: I see you.

A promotional graphic inviting readers to leave a review for Life Through the Eyes of a Wolf. Against a vintage-style black, gray, cream, and deep red sunburst background, white text at the top asks: “Did I hit the mark? Were you moved? Did you relate to a poem or two? Does the world feel less intimidating now?” Large gold lettering in the center reads, “I invite you to leave a Review!” Below is a large smartphone graphic displaying a QR code with the book cover centered inside it. Red text on the phone says, “Read it here,” with a pointing finger emoji. In the lower left, white text reads, “Your feedback is invaluable to me!” In the lower right, a gold button labeled “Amazon Listing” indicates where readers can leave a review.

A reel where I invite my readers to leave me an honest review on Amazon. For a small Indie author like myself, Reviews & Ratings are my bread and butter. Amazon Link: shorturl.at/3xHyq #ratings #reviews #amazon #amazonkindle #indieauthor

Permanence, presence, influence. Whatever you would like to call it. #Writers write to exist in the space, the here and now. Having an audience. Having a footprint. Leaving a mark. #americanauthor #atpike #writingquotes #writingcommunity #booksky

I’m gonna quote Shrek here and paraphrase that meaning in stories is like an onion... It has layers! The surface may show one thing; peering underneath the skin-level reveals something else, and finding one's way to the bottom of the well might yield even more truth.

This is a hard one. I am extremely protective of my work. But you take an inherent risk by putting something out there publicly, in the big, wide world— out on the free-and-open internet. However, publishing my debut book of poetry, and my new WIP has been massively rewarding. 📷: Anon - Pixabay

The OG Set-up!

Writer, Author, Poet - A.T. Pike - Anthony Theodore Pike@atpikestudios· Jul 11

It’s a circular exchange! A writer writes the thing, a reader reads the thing, both (hopefully) walk away satisfied. At times, being a novel writer feels like being a little kid again, excited to share my made-up stories with anyone who will listen. And really listen, not just go: Oh, really? Wow!

We can write, we can infer, we can hint at, we can plan and plot all we want... (1/4)

I agree with this. The moment someone else reads it, it’s no longer just the author's. It exists, it’s out there, it’s influencing other people, other readers. Sort of a cat-is-out-of-the-bag moment. #writingcommunity #booksky

Set an achievable goal. 100 words, one good paragraph, 1000 words, no less than 2 full pages…whatever you think you can realistically hit every day.

Writer, Author, Poet - A.T. Pike - Anthony Theodore Pike@atpikestudios· Jul 6

Yes, inspiration helps, but at the end of the day… writing tends to be about return. Return to an emotion, come back to an agreement or conversation, replaying an experience I had, missing or reminiscing about an old friend, or an old flame, or the one that got away romantically... (1/2)

What does routine vs. creativity mean to you? For me, they're mostly the same. Some days creativity overflows... Other days, I have to stick to my routine and discipline and work through it. How about you? 📷: Anon via Pixabay

Sometimes I just have to stop and take a break. Yes, striking while the iron is hot is good; but if I'm burnt out or mentally depleted, no amount of wanting to continue will keep it flowing coherently. Get up, stretch, drink some water, go outside for a bit. Doing anything but writing... (1/2)

Writer, Author, Poet - A.T. Pike - Anthony Theodore Pike@atpikestudios· Jul 2

Just like you should always jot down an idea when it hits you (because you will not remember it later), you should not sit around all day waiting to feel inspired! Waiting for motivation doesn't work. Sometimes you have to go hunting and chase it down with a bat. 😆#writinginspiration #writersofbsky

8 years ago, Headspace's app taught me the basics of meditation. I’m no monk, but I learned anyone can meditate: notice the thought, return to the breath, be present. Yesterday, on my 41st birthday, I hit 3,000 straight days of meditation! Cheers to better headspace. @atpikestudios.bsky.social

A screenshot of the headspace meditation app, after successfully completing 3,000 days of meditating every day. The top box says "3,000 days run streak."

The middle box lists "35,701 minutes meditated."

There is a quote in the bottom box that says "Often as we go through the week we accumulate a certain amount of tension and discomfort."

... There is additional text added by the author. At the top, there is green text that says "That is ~8 years of continuous practice!"

... In the middle-left of the middle box there is yellow text that says "That is ~595 hours spent meditating!"

... In the middle-right of the middle box there is red text that says "That is almost ~25 full days spent meditating!"

... In the top of the bottom box there is blue text that says "If I can do it, anyone can!"

... In the bottom of the bottom box there is purple text that says "Thank you, Headspace!"

At the end of the day, it's all about communication. Using exorbitant or flashy words is fine and all, but I find it's better to speak clearly rather than trying to impress someone!

The Current (of Water) © “Find a way to be water, my friend. Be uncontainable.” Largely inspired by an interview with Bruce Lee, where he talks about being like water. Paraphrasing, “If you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. Be like water, my friend.”

“Less is more” is a good, albeit difficult, goalpost for me. I’m not used to restricting my flow or creativity, so I do tend to ramble at times. But explaining more, clearly, in a shorter amount of time... is a rather efficient way to communicate.

I do. My poetry is a little more like bullet points, whereas my prose tends to be paragraphs. What are your thoughts on this?
