My thoughts on writing and other random things as they come up.

This is a blog where I keep my thoughts and daily comments about writing and WDC.

I really like his paragraph at the end, talking about it, too!

Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!

I love the line, "where his growth scared him."

I'm also glad to be introduced to more female poets. I feel like I'm not familiar with enough of them.

I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.

Gorgeous poem, though.

I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.

Oh, gorgeous! Thank you for introducing me to this poem! I'm marking it to read again and again later.

I love where the first line breaks off, as well as, "playing music with words." I bet she was an inspiring teacher.

Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.

More Spaghetti on the Wall

Sometimes I feel like sending my poems out is a bit like throwing spaghetti on the wall.

You don't really know if the noodles are ready until the stick. And sometimes you have to throw a lot of noodles to get just one to stick.

Other times, it feels like trying to nail jello to the wall. Just *not* going to happen.

I have an annoying tendency to want to self-publish (on my blog or something) the poems no one else wants.

But I have a feeling there's a reason no one else wants them.

Or maybe they were just not meant to be a poem, maybe they were meant to be a story.
Or maybe they are waiting for the right words or experiences to catch up to them.
Or maybe just the right editor.

In other news - I'm reading strange stuff these days. 100 Sideways Miles. Afterworlds.

Trying to decide if I want to do Nano.

I think I am. Maybe. Why not add a third half finished unedited novel to my collection?

Nothing like more spaghetti....

I really need to finish something!
