Committing to send everyone who bought a book this month a handmade collage was way more work than I anticipated. The new bookmarks look amazing though, and I’m excited about that. Woo!

Excerpt from Recent Interview!

Interviewer: How long did it take to become confident in your writing?

Megan Falley: Oh goodness. I don’t think, at least for me, that self-confidence in writing is a constant thing. There are weeks where I feel great about the work I am putting forth, and weeks I think that I am a sham who just had decent luck with former poems and I’ll never write a good one again. Self-doubt can be crippling, but it can also keep me grounded. I know that not everything I write is amazing—if I thought that, I wouldn’t struggle, wouldn’t push, wouldn’t stretch myself to be better than the last time. I wouldn’t edit. I don’t ever want to be 100% confident in my writing. When I am, I think I’ll start writing real, consistent crap. I don’t want to be 100% self-depricating either, because that is the antithesis of creativity. I just want to acknowledge that sometimes I hit the mark, and sometimes I don’t. It’s not about always hitting the mark, it is about always shooting. About not being afraid of your own arrow.

Hey all you delicious poetry-lovers out there!

Where should I tour next? I wanna meet you!

laurenzuni:

Anyone want to buy my ice cream trike? You can pack it with popsicles and sell them for money or you can just make goofy videos with a dreamboat like Andrea Gibson. I bought it with the intention of starting a business with my daughter but like a lot of my ideas, I forget that they require time that I don’t really have. The bike is really smooth riding and well made. I bought it for 1800 from Ice Trikes in Portland but I will sell it for 800. Email me at laurenmzuniga@gmail.com or message me on Tumblr.

So I am making original collages and bookmarks for anyone who orders a copy of my book from me before February 1st! The bookmarks are swell too but a lady has to keep SOME secrets. PayPal $16.95 (cost of book + s&h) to kneepits@gmail.com for your signed copy and goodie bag of creative brain-spills. I adore you!

Bucket List (are you listening, universe?)

Acquire camping gear, and be a person who can live out in the woods for a couple days at a time. See the world this way.
Join an animal-rescue agency of some sort. Continue finding homes for dogs & cats who would otherwise be euthanized.

Would you like an autographed copy of my book, 'After the Witch Hunt' and some personalized artwork (surprise!) from me? Paypal $16.95 (book cost + s&h) to kneepits@gmail.com, with your address!

let’s beat those big businesses and heart break together!
