If you’re like me, the first few months of this year hit hard and I feel like I’ve just gotten off of a rollercoaster. The constant influx of shocking news was debilitating and I had a difficult time connecting with my creativity. Luckily my short play and other opportunities had already been planned or I would have drowned in a sea of fading hope.

I say all that to say I am coming up for air and will be writing more often. I am now on Substack and you can find me @tonisroom

I’ve always been torn between using this blog space for poetry or for writing about my life and my thoughts . I didn’t want it to be difficult for those looking for poetry to have to sort through other writings, and vice versa. I’ve decided that my prose writing/essays etc will be on my Substack and this blog will be used to share my poetry and poetry events.

So here’s the link to my recent post on Substack about extending one another grace during these times. It’s a two minute read and it’s FREE!

Thank you for stopping by Toni’s Room – please come back often!

Love, Toni
