Draft of the Week, #4.
I was unable to have my laptop repaired today, though I’ve been promised Tuesday — I warned him that if I continue to have to use it at a 45 degree angle or less I will soon develop a humpback. You try it and tell me how it feels. Everything takes longer this way, but…

Draft of the Week.
I’m already warming to this new poem project. Makes me feel all purposeful and productive. I guess I respond best to deadlines. Remains to be seen if this will be a plus or not. This draft will probably remain up until Sunday, as we’re going to visit my mum for the weekend. {poof!}

Poem & LSU Press.
I feel very fatigued this week (or, as Bugs Bunny would say, “fa-ti-gewd”), but I think I’ve finished the revisions on my new poem. I think. I’m going to live with it a little while longer without touching it, and then see how I feel. In the meantime, because I don’t have enough brainpower or…

NaPoWriMo Redux.
Our downstairs neighbor moved, taking our wireless with her, though we were unaware that she was our source until we suddenly had no internet — hence my silence here since the new month began. We took the bull by the horns, nasty beast, and signed up for a wireless account of our very own, which…

NaPoWriMo Draft 12.
Last night I went to hear Gabriel Fried read at Amherst College. I really like his book, Making the New Lamb Take (Sarabande Books, 2007), so I was excited to go, though exceptionally tired. I’m glad I exerted the effort. He’s very sweet, and his reading style conversational. And he has the most amazing head…

NaPoWriMo Draft 11.
Revisions were indeed the focus this weekend. My output hasn’t been as great as many of the folks participating in NaPoWriMo, but I’m happy to say that I’m pretty pleased with everything I’ve written. Hubris maybe, or just infatuation with my new loves, but right now, yeah. Until today. I guess this is more of…

NaPoWriMo Draft 10.
Yes, it’s April 17, which means I’m far far behind, but I can’t believe I’m about to post my tenth poem this month! Especially after the week I’ve had. Vincent is quite recovered, back to daycare tomorrow (Huzzah!), and I rejoin the bookshop in the midst of its regularly scheduled programs. Vincent is utterly stir-crazy,…

NaPoWriMo Draft 9.
Vincent could be & has been worse, but darling boy is still unwell. In between the interludes of obvious illness, he is variously rambunctious and lethargic. Irony of ironies: Nature has chosen this Week of the Influenza Outbreak to spring into Full Spring with gusto. * The moving-on-now-revise-later aspect of NaPoWriMo does not come naturally…

Andrea Cohen & Memorious
I’m now 4 poems behind — haven’t managed to write another poem since finishing the Pleiades poems — but I’m trying not to get too worked up about it. I’ve really enjoyed being so poetry-centric, and I’m happy with what I have written, but I have to say, between a full-time job, Vincent, poetry readings,…

NaPoWriMo Draft 7.
If my last draft seemed a bit hostile, well, that was more or less where I was last night. Tonight, the beast sleeps, I’m bleary-eyed, but I did complete my Spring Pleiades series. After this, I’ll have to find something else to keep the words flowing. Maybe a few good hours of sleep will help.…
