Hey friends - it's been a crazy week. I figured out how to load the Podcast on Spotify - just search for Holding Orbit for Writers - it's searchable. Sound is still iffy, but it will get better. I'll figure out the RSS feeds so the podcast can live on all the platforms. And, a friend who was on a plane to Denmark asked if she could interview ME for my own podcast. Which would be really fun - she's known me through so much - and been with me when some of the heavy poetry fell. She also loves me like Leslie Knope loves Ann Perkins on Parks and Rec - over the top, thinks I'm the Bee's Knees. How can one pale before love like that? Then, some local poets - and maybe people I meet on social. The podcast is off and running!

If you are new to this environment - this is a short walk-through of how to get around, and how to turn off notifications!

A small shift happened this week. (The technology gremlins didn’t keep me from figuring out Spotify.) Whoohoo!! This season feels like planting—showing up, sorting, letting things take root. What season does your writing feel like right now? https://open.spotify.com/episode/2oIb0Gh2rSKgQJPXhcSSU6?si=UljBDADJRo6zCM3Ru7iAQQ&t=4

Today’s Writer’s Cozy at 4pm ended up being just me — and honestly, it was exactly that: cozy. I held the space, read from Bird by Bird, and spent some quiet time with the words. No rush. No fixing. Just showing up and staying close to the page. I’m sharing this short clip to say: this is what the first one looked like. If next week there are one or two other writers there, that would be lovely. The Cozy is here when you’re ready.
