I loved reading The Long, Long River. So glad that I an Watson could let you publish it here!

Are there people who live outside Bremen that come to this? Is there a space for publishers (and other authors) to […]

“Get yourself a real job.” Because writing isn’t a real job? Maybe that should change to: Get yourself another job that can pay for eating, drinking and loving life before your writing eventually does.

“On the […]

Thanks so much for this, Tom. I would have to meet people who have successfully done it to decide if it is collapsing or isn’t. My concern is really the practicality of it. Say you’re a banker with an 8-5, Monday […]

I am still teaching myself the discipline of sitting and writing. and not procrastinating under the guise of research and looking for inspiration. I hope one day I get it.

Oh Jens! I am sorry you have been unwell. I hope you feel better pretty soon.

I am very curious to see how different the recital is from what the rehearsal looked like. I’ll attend the show this evening and let […]

Anonymous, how can Joel and Crystal reach you?

“You have to build up your own group of followers and you have to promote yourself, and even tiny things like a good title of your event are important, too. The location is also very important. You should have a […]

P.s: On “Kampala, Kampala, Kampala yaffe” -Nice touch!

Oh My Goodness! How is it we are just finding out about Scrivener?! It is brilliant!!!! Let me study it more and download it! Thank you so so much for this! You may have just saved my career!

I use Evernote on […]

Jens,
I believe that poetry is much easier to perform. You can use music, lighting and even audience participation to make your poem memorable. But what about people like me who write prose? How do I read my […]

Joel, I don’t think writers should add that responsibility “writing in a way as teachers” to things they have to do. Our responsibility as writers is to just write. If people can learn from our writing then well […]

Hi Katharina,
I agree with you. Poetry is often forgotten. And that classical poetry somehow makes/made poetry seem inaccessible. When you tell people that rap and riddles are poetry, that is when it seems […]
