Excellent advice, and though I really don’t like erasure poetry and I disagree with Kleon’s belief that nothing is original—I don’t care what the Bible says—his post on how to steal like an artist is a priceless gem.  Also, there’s a link in this post to Wendy MacNaughton who is pretty freaking incredible.

Speaking of stealing like an artist, dig @wendymac’s post-it above her drawing desk she sent me.
And check out her amazing work. I plan to steal from it.

About Me

My name is Donald Quist. I'm trying to become a better writer and human being. I have a predilection for expletives, moral dilemmas, ellipses, obscure pop-culture references and parenthetical statements. I currently live in Bangkok, Thailand. My collection of short stories is now available online and in a few independent bookstores. You can buy it on Amazon or by clicking that yellow button below.
