Summertime Writing!

To celebrate our Summertime issue for Black voices, we asked our contributors how the season inspires their writing. Let’s put pen to paper! Or hands to keyboard—whatever works.

Hmmm, I haven't noticed if I write more or less during the summer months, could be less since I'm out and about more.

Juliana Lamy

Strangely enough, no. I think it’s because I have so much unstructured time. I’ve found that I work best under time constraints, so a lot of my work has been produced during the winter, right before or during weeks where I have lots of other things to turn in. A very dangerous game.

Averi Jones (Do you draw much during the summer?)

I draw every day, I plan on taking a digital art class this summer.
