So, you want to give up. I want to give up. We all want to give up. But we are here, still. Maybe this giving up is a sentence we desire to write; a love letter to another whose self also yearns for a sentence to hold on to and say: yes, we are not alone.

Good writing.

Writing is hard for every writer. You'd think your hard is the only hard. But if you listen, you will hear your scream in another's. And beneath, you will see: patience, stamina, and a default resolute will. Maybe that's what your hard screams for.

“Books are spirits. They know you need them. Whether you know it or not, they conspire with the universe on your behalf to make themselves available even in unexpected places, such as a roadside bookshop in Sabo.” therumpus.net/2025/06/17/fin…

"to write is to pray" A wonderful essay by Ifeanyichukwu...

Silky writing from Ifeanyichukwu. therumpus.net/2025/06/17/fin…

As someone who is also a fan of Baldwin's writing, I enjoyed reading this essay. It was brilliantly written.

I trust the work of a writer willing to labour over their writing. I trust what comes from wrestling oneself and winning. This was beautiful to read, and in many parts nostalgic, even though I've never been to Unguwan Bissau. Thank you, Ifeanyichukwu.. Keep writing!

“Anger is art, a refusal to be stifled. His stare is an invitation to be present. If I am here, in this moment, who am I? I am a writer even if all around me is not alright.”

Sentencing: The art of a sentence. Sentences are the building blocks of a story. In my classes, I work you through that.
