So I think that for me, the key game changer for me, and this kind of gets into we want to think about the why, we want to think about the how.
podcast-host
The game changer for me was I figured out the why, which was that I realized that first of all, I have a degree in English, read quite a bit of poetry as I was getting my degree and really, really loved it, and realized it had been a really long time since I had read.
podcast-host
any at all.
podcast-host
But the unlock for me was figuring out where in my day it belonged.
podcast-host
Because when I'm ready to sit down and read my novel or my narrative nonfiction or whatever, that is not my poetry reading time.
podcast-host
So it was really in the realm and in the terms of like a slow and steady kind of thing, or for me, my morning reading, right?
podcast-host
Like I'm gonna take a few minutes each morning.
podcast-host
And just dip in literally for ten minutes, a couple of poems or one poem, depending on what collection I'm reading at the time.
podcast-host
And then take a moment to really kind of sit with it.
podcast-host
So I think it's when I decided that poetry reading was not like any of my other reading.
podcast-host
Yes.
podcast-host
It was more like a poetry study.
podcast-host
It was like that difference for my brain, I pair it with when I write in my journal.
podcast-host
And sometimes those things go really well together and sometimes they're just in the same headspace, but they aren't related.
podcast-host
It's not like I'm journaling about the poem that I just read.
podcast-host
Sometimes, but often not.
podcast-host
So that was one of the big unlocks.
podcast-host
And one of the big questions that we've gotten is like, how do you even like begin?
podcast-host
So that for me was one of the big unlocks.
podcast-host
Like decide that it's not like your other reading.
