(This is for the Slice of Life challenge, hosted by Two Writing Teachers. We write on Tuesdays about the small moments in the larger perspective … or is that the larger perspective in the smaller moments? You write, too.) I start most of my mornings with two acts of art — I try to write a daily […]

CLMOOC 2022 Calendar Creation Collaboration
I was so happy when Wendy and others put out the call for another Collaborative Calendar for CLMOOC — it’s a lovely way to end a difficult year and to find a way forward into the new year. Download a free copy of the calendar, which has art, photographs, music and more from people from […]
When In The (Re)Wild … Explore the Trails
My friend and collaborator Terry Elliott has been on a “re-wilding” learning adventure, an internal and creative ‘hike’ of art and remix through words and poems and stories and media, and as is his nature, Terry has often invited others along. Yesterday, he shared a poem and invitation for “trailblazing” and a phrase in his […]
Turning Text into Music (A Small AI Experiment)
careful now flickr photo by fibreman shared into the public domain using Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0) I was curious the other week about whether I might find any online AI-powered sites that take text and turn those words into music. Honestly, I didn’t think my search would be all that successful. But it […]
A Gift of Calligraphy: Transforming a Nature Poem
I regularly share my morning small poems over at Mastodon each day, connecting with some other writers, and then share it on Twitter, doing the same. It’s just a few places where my poems might catch a breath and live for a bit. Sometimes, there’s reaction. Sometimes, not. It’s fine either way. I write poems […]

Comics About Writing: Break and Bend the Rules
The comic above led to a great conversation on Twitter the other day about the role of mentor texts, and learning from genres, and remix. Thanks to everyone who added in to the conversation (Sarah, Terry, Sheri, Daniel, Ronald, Jayne, etc.) At one point, something somebody wrote (prob Terry) brought me back to making a […]
Turning Collaborative Poem Into Song (but it ain’t no Shanty)
The other day, I wrote about a collaborative poem that folks in #ds106, and #clmooc, and beyond had contributed to. With 106 lines in its construction, the poem has now become a place of possible remix. I had joked at one point at trying to write a Sea Shanty with some of the words (ie, […]
Book Review: Stamped (Racism, Antiracism, and You)
Jason Reynolds reminds us again and again, This is not a history book. But it’s a book of our history, of our country’s racism and of how our country finds itself where it is, with huge divisions over race. Stamped (Racism, Antiracism, and You) is Reynold’s ‘remix’ of Stamped From the Beginning (by Ibram X. […]
