Voice
I am working on a nerdy writing project and running into some trouble adjusting my super-dense academic voice.

Maybe this is why I am funny in real life but can’t write funny?

Writers find each other in all sorts of ways. My current writer crush has sent some poets my way to host a reading in Asheville for their book tour. I love the internet.
