“Over the months that I’ve been working on these poems (and about a decade before that), Writers Guild has provided consistent community and support. When I came to DePaul as a returning student in 2008, I found Writers Guild and the UCWbL and discovered more writing community and opportunities for collaboration than I would have ever believed possible.”

“I wrote all of these pieces on my own volition, inspired by the people within my life. Typically, I get all my thoughts down through word vomiting on the paper, then spend the majority of my writing process revising. All of these writings have benefited from the perspectives of others, allowing me to get to a place where I am proud of my works.”
“The revision process took some time, incorporating the feedback that I got from Writers Guild and the Writing Center to improve my piece. A lot of work revolved around rearranging sentences, changing the structure of the poem a bit, and writing new content. Overall, I really enjoyed the revision process and I am excited to publish my pieces.”

“The process of writing a cohesive piece means a lot of self control and understanding that stepping back from the words you grow attached to allows you to understand more what needs to be said. I have been very invested in self growth as a concept, but very hesitant to fully immerse myself in the process. These two pieces are documentation of that journey.”
A poem about two loves—one named “Tom” and another named “Sawyer.”
“My process for writing and revision varies based on the type of writing I’m working on. For poetry, sometimes I won’t revise at all, and have trouble changing a poem after I’ve completed it.”
