CREATIVE WRITING
Martina might be known for her reporting and anchoring, but she is also a poet. She is currently putting together a collection of poems that will be released in her very first book titled "Work In Progress." The book, due for release in 2023, will feature most of the poems she has written over the years. The book's title expresses the author's motto that every poem is a work in progress - even after they are written. "I was once very picky about editing my poems and being open to criticism. Then, I realized that sometimes criticism is just what you need. Sometimes it makes you see the need to change your work for the better. Other times it is just good to know what people think of your work, even if you do not take their suggestions. I feel like my poems are always a work in progress as long as I live. The longer I live, the wiser I become, and that means I will always be able to look at my poems and add something that I would have never added in the past. It is like a never ending story...just like my life - my poems are a work in progress." -Martina N.B. White
