This Monday, we share an excerpt from T Fleischman This Monday, we share an excerpt from T Fleischmann’s transcendent and genre-defying work Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Through (Coffee House Press, 2019). What role does empathy play in your writing? Do you feel empathy for your characters, for your villains, for yourself as the author? What do you feel empathy connects you with “beyond [your] physical form?” T Fleischmann is the author of Syzygy, Beauty and the curator of Body Forms: Queerness and the Essay. A nonfiction editor at DIAGRAM and contributing editor at Essay Daily, they have published critical and creative work in myriad journals and anthologies. May their words inspire some of your own writing this week. ✍️✨

Some food for thought this Monday from Brontez Pur Some food for thought this Monday from Brontez Purnell’s interview in The Atlantic (published in early 2021) on what novelists can learn from playwrights.   Do you consider yourself a multi-disciplinary writer? Do you gravitate to one form over any others? What do you learn from different forms?   Brontez Purnell (@brontezpurnell) is a writer, musician, dancer, filmmaker, and performance artist. He is the author of a graphic novel, a novella, a children’s book, and the novels 100 Boyfriends (FSG, 2021) and Since I Laid My Burden Down (Feminist Press, 2017).   May Purnell’s words inspire you in your own writing this week.     #mondaymotivation #writinginspiration #lgbtqwriters #writersofinstagram #writersonwriting #writinglife
