On the Edges

I attended another writing session put on by The Mill in Appleton at the Library. This session was about fitting writing into your life. I was able to reconnect with a past coworker and develop new connections.

After the session I remembered that in my college notebooks is where I had written on the edges when inspiration struck. I began compiling phrases and excerpts from my various notebooks that I can seemingly string together for my next performance piece. One such excerpt, “they tried to put the God back in me because apparently this is not the body type that fits right.”

I was prompted to talk about finding my voice as a writer and I talked about using brutal honesty. If you have heard previous pieces such as Tough Guys Wear Pink, Gods & Monsters, or Life is Poetry hopefully it creates a reaction and you find something to connect to in the words and descriptions.

On Sunday morning, I woke up early and in a quick decision, drove to Suamico to photograph the sunrise as I knew it would rise from the East. I found a perfect spot in between lakefront homes. After the sun had risen, I then drove to Kaukauna to Thousand Islands Nature Center where I was gifted with the opportunity to shoot some geese very close up with my beer can lens. Below are photos from Sunday.
