    2020-10-25 Target Acquired

    Today.. instead of walking this morning or getting my GLR submissions distributed I spent like 5 hours on my own poetry submissions. Research, editing, writing cover letters, etc. I even created a new chapbook to submit to a contest. When they say writing is hard work, I’m pretty sure all of this has a lot…

    2020-10-24 Saturday Schmatterday

    Prolly gonna make quick work of this today since it’s Jim’s birthday and we gotta a whole lotta nothin that needs doing today. When we woke up today I told Jim I ordered another overcast day so he could sleep in without the sun bugging us to get out of bed. The trade off? It’s…

    2020-10-21 Tricky Pickles and Tip Toes Teetering in the Middle

    I’m teetering on tip-toes between taking another day “off” like yesterday when I said “fuck it” to the universe and crawled inside myself and embracing today as a bedazzled opportunity to get a lot done. I’m 9 submissions away from my goal for October. And technically I’ve got more poems out in the wild than…

    2020-10-19 Quick and Squeaky

    It’s a new day and a new week. Another opportunity to get it all done. Despite waking up with a pain in my neck at 5:10am, I’m in pretty good spirits. In large part thanks to the fact that I no longer have to figure out how to fit work in with all the other…

    2020-10-18 It’s Not the Poem’s Fault

    It’s Sunday and my day is starting early. I woke before 6am and tried to go back to sleep but its futile. It’s almost 7 now so it’s not like I didn’t try to resist getting up. Hopefully Jim can get some extra rest with the absence of my tossing and turning. Hopefully he’ll text…

    2020-10-16 My Morning Commute 🌅

    My daily morning drive is less of a commute than it is a taxi service. I know some people think that my son (16 years old since last May) should have his license by now. And perhaps be driving himself to school. That it would be less of a burden on me or time I…

    2020-10-15 Fat Stacks and Train Tracks

    Back in my day, children wandered out of their bedroom on Saturday mornings while their parents hid under the covers, behind closed bedroom doors in attempts to get a few more minutes of precious sleep. We shuffled in our PJs to the living room to sit in front of the TV to watch a thing…

    2020-10-13 Pepperoni Pizza = Strange Dreams 🍕➡️😱

    It’s been previously verified that if I eat pepperoni pizza too close to bed time, strange dreams will disturb my sleep. Last night was no exception. Though I would hardly call the dreams strange or disturbing, it was certainly odd for so many men from my past to pay me a visit in the same…
