How Poetry Began For Atticus
- Atticus discovered poetry serendipitously after meeting actor Michael Madsen in France and feeling permission to write.
- He began typing poems on a typewriter, photographing them, and posting on Instagram without expecting success.
Make Writing A Low-Pressure Ritual
- Don't try to write something perfect; write to enjoy the act itself and loosen expectations.
- Show up consistently and treat the routine (cup of coffee, chair) as a signal to write even when output is poor.
Tactics To Break Creative Blocks
- When stuck, change your environment: go into nature, a coffee shop, or hang out with friends to reset.
- Use exercises like transcribing another writer to get into flow and then pivot to your own voice.
