My quill isn’t broken. My ink jar isn’t empty or dry. On this literary journey\u2014aspiring to be as engrossing as Kongi or as imaginative as William Wordsworth\u2014I\u2019ve come to realize that taking breaks as a creative is often the best recipe for producing exceptional work. Just as muscles aren\u2019t built in the gym but during rest, literary inspiration isn\u2019t replenished while searching for the perfect words.<\/p>\n
So, I\u2019ve been resting\u2014but not anymore.<\/p>\n
A friend of mine recently posted a Haiku, and I loved it. It inspired me to expand it into something more than just a few lines. Within minutes, I crafted something I liked and read it over and over until it felt just right. I found a few more Haikus and repeated the process, realizing I could turn this into something more substantial.<\/p>\n
And so, I\u2019m introducing #HaikuSeriesByJaji<\/strong>, where I\u2019ll take Haikus I find online and expand them into full-fledged poetry.<\/p>\n I hope you\u2019ll enjoy reading them as much as I\u2019ll enjoy writing them.<\/p>\n Peace, love, and poetry to you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My quill isn’t broken.
