Featuring the Ugly Mug tomorrow night 8pm!!! And Prompts!

I am so excited to feature for the Two Idiots Peddling Reading at the Ugly Mug. This reading was where I really started learning and writing poetry. It is home.

The Ugly Mug is located at 261 N Glassell St., Orange, CA. Don’t worry that Google Maps will say it is closed or not show the Ugly Mug, which is open only for the reading. Don’t forget that there is a $3 cover though. Here is the link to the event. https://www.facebook.com/100062997712477/posts/pfbid0CB5xCfoKNEosmazrWjzWoQNNqg7pQT1nnHGaY1cAy3TGjXBSdTzmyv9YEKd57bs1l/?

I hope to see you there!!!

(Eventually I will get a new author photo…promise.)

So here is your first prompt: describe the audience who you write for. It can include yourself, in which case use a group photo or selfie for an ekphrastic poem or story. Or write about your dream audience you imagine reading for—all of your literary (or other) heroes. Or perhaps it is the cast of a Disney cartoon or the Muppets, a room full of your friends and family, or perhaps your exes with a thumb tack placed on each seat.

The second prompt is to analyze and describe what you want your poems, essays and/or stories to create in the world. Is it a bridge to yourself, an oasis with fountains and palms, a storm cellar in Kansas, fog lights for a long road trip?

The final prompt is to write a response to another poem, story or essay as if you and that writing’s author are in a private conversation over coffee.

Good luck! Have fun writing!!!
