Tammy's Trio on Tuesday

Reflections and Readings from My Bradbury Trio Program

I have been hearing from several people this past week how much of an influence their reading is having on their writing.

It is an amazing process to read like a writer and notice how the author did things and then try it with your own voice.

Part of being a writer is paying attention to all things.

The Bradbury Trio [reading a poem, an essay, and a story every day] fuels my writing.

This trio structure works for me because I am inspired to write after I read.

I hope the reading you do today leads you to writing that could have not been created any other way.

Here are some of the texts that made an impact on me this week.

Poem: “Leftovers,” Leslie Richardson The Paris Review

Story: “After a Storm, A Quiet Dinner” River Teeth

Essay: The Kaki Tree Orion magazine

What will these pieces inspire you to write!?
