Busy Holidays
Well, my time and blog readership are both down somewhat for the holidays. Nonetheless, I'll cobble together some thoughts about poetry in between bouts of apartment-cleaning and before I take off for the gym.
I keep a notebook by my bed for when I'm drifting off or have just woken up and have a good writing idea I don't want to forget but also am not feeling like getting out of bed to record. This has largely been beneficial, but it also results in the occasional puzzlement when I can't read what I wrote in the dark and/or I don't remember what the hell I was thinking. For example, I was looking at that notebook yesterday, and it contains a scratching that appears to say "knight quills." Well, I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that, and in fact I'm not sure the "knight" is correct. So now I have a weird phrase that is going to bug me, that makes no apparent sense, and that I can't even recall the context for.
Yay, I got an ISSN for The Eleventh Muse. It only took ten months and two separate requests!
Crap, it's gym time already. That's what I get for trying to stay in shape during the holidays.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow...
