Share Your Insights For a Prize!

Hello fellow writers and readers!

I’m reaching out with an opportunity and invitation.

As a writer and a writing coach, I’m constantly learning and evolving, and I believe there’s value in hearing other experiences. That’s why I’m conducting some marketing research this week, and I’d love for you to participate.

What’s a Marketing Research Call? Just an informal chat about your writing goals and processes.

Whether you’re a seasoned author, an aspiring novelist, a dedicated blogger, or simply someone who likes to write, your perspective is valuable. Yes, this means you.

In this 30 to 45-minute call, I’ll ask you some questions about your struggles and successes. Your insights will help me better understand the needs and experiences of writers like you, allowing me to create more relevant and supportive resources in the future.

NO pitch, pressure, or payment.

But you must book this week (up to 5 days out) to get the prize, so do it now! Space is limited.

As a sincere thank you for sharing your time and wisdom, you’ll get to choose a prize:

• A free book (valued at $10) to fuel your reading and writing.
• Our popular coaching calendar (valued at $30) to help you organize your writing goals.
• A half-hour coaching session (valued at $60) to discuss your specific writing aspirations or challenges.
• Or, if you have another prize in mind that would be particularly helpful to you, suggest it – I’ll consider all reasonable requests!

BOOK TODAY!

STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES

My poetry-every-day has not worked out as expected, but I have gotten a couple of cute verses out of it.

Here’s one:

April 11
Be Gone!

BE GONE!

Away from me

With all your negativity.

I will prevail.

I will not fail.

You will see

It will be.

Dream on.

The novel is going well. It feels like carving stone with a toothpick, but it’s coming along. I’ve practically doubled my words last week, and I want to do that again this week.

Don’t forget, I’m doing a poetry exercise and challenge this month. To participate, email me or sign up at linseyewing.com under the Get Access tab. You’ll also get freebies to help your writing journey.

Let me know what you discover and share your poems: Contact me.

For National Poetry Month, I’m sharing some of my faves, both by me and others. If you have poetry to share, I’d love to read it! Send it to me and, if you want, give me permission to share it here. I’d love to have you involved.

You can read and listen to someone read the poem-a-day if you want to catch up on what’s happened this month.

I’m drafting a novel and creating some poetry. What are you writing this month? Let me know!

We can talk about whatever you need.

Don’t forget, I’m doing a poetry exercise and challenge this month. To participate, email me or sign up at linseyewing.com under the Get Access tab. You’ll also get freebies to help your writing journey.

Neither the poetry nor the novel is going like I wanted. I am, as usual, struggling to enjoy the space I am currently occupying. I wanted to draft. Now that I’m drafting, I want to research. My poetry not only is no good, it’s also like pulling teeth to get a rhyme sometimes.

The answer?

Stop Rhyming.

Focus on the rhythm instead.

Every space has its own rhythm. Notice the rhythm of the space you’re in, and write about it. How does it feel?

What about your favorite song? or the earworm you can’t get rid of? Do they rhyme? What’s their rhythm?

STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES

Poetry is one of my favorite disciplines. I respect it, like math, for all its forms and rules, and I stand in awe of people who can accomplish it with ease. I love its ability to move, to anger, to comfort, and to incite.

To that end, I’m going to share one that moved me.

I just found it yesterday. It was the poem-a-day poem for April 7th, and it certainly spoke to me.

It’s about politics, ownership, anxiety, and art. It’s called High Stakes by Yesenia Montilla.

You can read and listen to someone read the poem-a-day if you want to catch up on what’s happened this month.

Last week I shared my favorite poem. This week I’ll give you one of mine. Keep your expectations low.

And remember, I’m doing this for the exercise and a challenge. If you want to participate, you can get tips at linseyewing.com by signing up under the Get Access tab. You’ll also get fun freebies there to help your writing journey.

DAY 1: April 1, 2025
POEM

Perhaps I’ll write an Acrostic.
Of course, they’re
Easier than
Most forms.

That’s it. Low-hanging fruit, but it’s a start. Let me know what you think and share your own poems: Contact me.
