I can tell from your photo that we would get along very well. :) I've always tried to control change, too. Or, rather, fought with my jaw clenched and hands balled into fists against change. I'm not sure how I'll do with this new inviting change resolution, but we'll see. Dear Di, welcome to the blog! I can tell from your photo that we would get along very well. :)

Aphorisms! Bears! Oh my! That manuscript popped into my mind a few days ago, as I was looking at chapbook contests ... I revised a couple of them to submit to <i>BOMB</i> (I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THAT MAGAZINE I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU). I'll have to take another look at what I did to them. Fews -- awesome. Awesome. We shall convee very soon! I'm returning to the Loveliest Village on the Plain today. And I had a dream about you in which you wore a hot pink wig. didyousayhernamewaslouise: Fables! Aphorisms!

Fews — awesome. Awesome.

We shall convee very soon! I’m returning to the Loveliest Village on the Plain today. And I had a dream about you in which you wore a hot pink wig.

Bangs! I'm realizing, as time goes on, that I have almost the same haircut as the one I had when I was a sophomore in college. I'll try to see if I can find photographs to compare. The stomach bug MUST be related to the no-sugar diet! If you don't give your stomach chocolate, this is what happens! Let this be a warning to the world! How many poems have I started in the parking lot of the grocery store? Though the shower is really my ultimate moment of simmering. Glad to hear that the poems are coming to you as well!

And it brought me to you. This line spoke to me: "I’ve been thinking a lot about change, how, perhaps, the most important part of it is just being ready, and being patient enough to wait." I think I want to control change instead of just inviting it in. I do this silly “Monday Meandering” thing on my blog. And it brought me to you.

Do you?? Can we say Fables? Can we say Aphorisms? Can we say, "Why did I not put this in the mail months ago?" Ugh. This new look at the witches sounds fabulously intriguing, and I am most certainly rooting for them! I cannot wait to hear more about Fews -- hooray!

I love how you describe your writing/working/thinking process. I, too, can feel the poems bubbling up, but time is a problem. Just this evening after work I was gloriously alone, in the parking lot of the grocery store, and took the opportunity, before beginning the Big Shop, to scribble a swift list of ideas & words. It feels good, huh? Enjoy the last days of your vacation! Bangs! — bellissima!
