Fear not fanciful flyers and fanatical frenzied footbaggers and fans of filibusters…this fruit-filled funfetti flavored frangipane flowing over with fresh falafel and flash frozen French fries was Typewriter Series #106 four years back from this frosty but fun night. Hope you re-dig it tonight.

A lot of you wonderful people that follow me are writers too. A lot of you are poets. A lot of you write me each day asking questions on every possible aspect of writing, but one theme comes up more than any other: how to get your work noticed, how to have an impact with your words. I honestly never know how to answer this, as I am baffled Daily that anything I say, goes anywhere at all, but sometimes you get little reminders of just what impact we have. All of us. @lizodell sent me this photo of her 7th grade Language Arts class, and the project two of her students chose me to study for. Seeing this kind of thing absolutely blows my mind and makes me want to tell all of You, that whether you know it or not, you Are having an impact. Every minute of every day, every poem and every sentence you write. It doesn’t matter if two people or two million read them, it doesn’t matter if the going is slow. Stay the course and write for yourself and people will find them. I promise. Just write. It’s the only advice I keep giving…just write, because it matters. Because you must.

A day before my birthday, July 5, over four years back, I posted this. It was Typewriter Series #105. Funny how things rise and spin, turn and swell, before returning to us. I hope you know you are Brave. All of you, even when you don’t feel like it. You are here, you show up, and my god that takes courage. Thank you, for yours.

I wonder often what old me will think of all younger me did. All the places I saw and all the strange things I was involved in. I wonder what stories will form in that old mouth, what sounds will sing when I speak of the days that came before. I know little, but I do know this: Yes is the word that can unlock a life. Say Yes, and follow your feet and give your old self plenty to talk about. Just say Yes.
