Find Time to Write

Hello Poetteers,

Life may get in the way and make it hard to find time to write. 

1. Wake up early
The silence, the fresh mind and clear head can get the gears going. 

2. Stay up late 
There is something about the night that puts your head in a different place. 

3. Tell people
When you tell someone you have this urge to do it. You have someone to hold you accountable.

4. Stay away from distractions
I've said this before, don't go on your phone or social media until after you start working. One thing that will make it easier to do this is turning off the notifications on your phone. 

5. Take advantage of your breaks
The words will eventually add up and seeing it will make you want to complete it.

6. Keep a notebook with you
Ideas have a way of creeping up on you and come at the most random times. You don't want to forget them. 

7. Schedule it into your already busy day
When you see it on your to do list you have a better chance of doing it.

8. Leave off on a cliffhanger 
When you leave off like that you look forward to the next time you get to sit down and figure out the rest. 

9. Braindump
Having all your ideas down or an outline gets you one step closer to writing the story. 

10. Meditation 
Sitting in silence, you get to reflect on your day. You get in touch with your intuition. 

stay inspired,
Fida

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
