Just ramble! That's all you gotta do! Spill the words out. You can edit and arrange later.

For poets - read widely. And honestly, write widely, too. Don't just stick to forms of poetry you're comfortable with, because challenge helps you grow as a writer.

Though I may not be a poet with a long publication history or publication intent, I can say that by staying broad in what I read/write, I can get excited about each new poem more because I know there's a lot of variety behind my creative process. Also, I think this practice moves me towards writing works that transcend my own feelings and become (or seem to become at least) things that have a life of their own.

If there is some plan in your story and it’s going to fail, tell us about it before the plan is going, so we can see how it’s failing. If ot’s going to work, don’t tell us details so we can enjoy as we are uncovering what’s up there.
It's Kay, babe!
