Who knew writing about yourself could be so hard.  Writing group meeting is today and I'm hoping to get some tips and motivation.  Honestly, this is more difficult than writing a resume!

Where does the time go?

I cannot believe how this past week has flown by... been so busy with my now 3 poems for the anthology.  My son will design the cover. It's starting to get really exciting!

The Submission Button (aka The Panic Button)

So, I did it.  I pushed the submit button. You know the one... the Send button in your email account.  Of course they will be reviewed.  Now I wait for the response.  Feeling good!

Revision... here we go again!

Back to revising the second poem for the Anthology to be published this December.  It seems to be a good mix of show and tell.  For sure it is dark... and dark should evoke emotion, right?  We'll see. Since the deadline for submission is the end of this month, like birthing, it requires time, attention and toil!

100,000 Poets for Change

What an exciting event... global event.  I participated in the Winchester, VA group.  It was held at the Shenandoah Arts Council.  We were surrounded by beautiful art and outstanding poets.  My nervousness disappeared when I stepped up to the podium.  I read one poem and it was short, but I did it!  And for an important cause- Change.  Very inspiring!

Revision- Did I say that?

Thursday, September 12, 2013

What was that I said on September 12th?  I have not only taken a second look at my poem, but the Muse has shown that it is okay to revise a third time!  It is really best to leave writing aside for a few days...  learning, building confidence and trusting the Muse!
