I have been carrying on a dialogue for almost a year. During this time we have discussed the progress of my writing, editing, and publishing efforts. Join in to listen to our conversation about my daily writing life and add your comments if you think of anything Calliope and I miss.

Meandering with a purpose or at least the openness to recognize when something significant occurs?

I need to submit my work, make new business cards, mini-booklets of poetry to give as gifts, work on a poetry presentation ... yep, it's work.

Yeah... I'm getting older and greyer, but so is my sister and cousin! At least I have company.

too many poo-poo'ers...

I suspect that this is one reason why my Persian friends preferred to go to the top... if the guy at the top didn't know then there was not reason to waste further effort.

Yes, I know you wrote Batavia but my eyes saw Bolivia... my eyes have seen the glory... but the rest of my body hasn't.

A lot can be done with writing... it can turn out to be almost therapeutic for many if not most.

Google Poetry Therapy and Writing Therapy. But don't tell a teenager it's therapy!

Ah... Cyndy and Den... they were visiting this past autumn. Met them at a football game I swear, but they left town in October... couldn't handle our below-zero winters. Hope they like snow!

Yes. Writing can be like wine and improve while sitting. Characters, however, do not always appreciate the neglect. I just tell them to go get a life...

Patience... working on patience.

I like reading and writing in August when the heat gets to me as well.

Just spoke to my mom in Amherst. They got the wind but not as much snow. My sister in Cheektowaga and friends in West Seneca probably got smacked. It's a sunshiny 24 here at the moment; 19 in Buffalo.
