2020-04-26 Sunday Un-Status
Well.. today is the actual deadline for getting my thesis submitted for a formal format check but since I sent that off last week, I’ve already got my reply. There are changes I have to make because it’s an official university document. Some of the choices I made for section headers for the 5 sections…

2020-04-21 Longest Day EVER!
There I go being overly dramatic again. If you ask me how I feel about my dramatic tendencies, my answer will depend on my mood. Today I’m feeling plucky so I’ll just say, it’s part of my charm. It was a long day though. And quite an atypical one compared to most of the SugarCookie…

2020-04-18 Wavelengths and Pages and Need for Connection
Exactly one week from today is the deadline for getting my MFA thesis completed and in the proper format with all the required sections and content. Should be a snap cuz most of it has been done for weeks. I’ve just been fiddling with some of the poems and negotiating with my mentor about a…

2020-04-17 I’ve Got Too Much “Poor Me” in My Poetry
To be fair, I’m really referring to just the one poem I’ve reworked a hundred different ways and each time I try to sneak it into my manuscript, my mentor says “nope”. To be fair, he’s only seen two versions of it and not the fifteen I wrote before or the 30 I thought about…

2020-04-09 Naturally Nervous
It doesn’t matter if I’ve known you my whole life or if we’ve just met. I’ll be nervous thinking about getting together. I’ll spend too much time thinking about it, worrying, wondering how it will go. It doesn’t matter if I’ve conducted a hundred meetings, each next one is a challenge. I’m naturally nervous. We…

2020-04-05 Rolling Eyes and Shrugging 🙄 🤷♀️ 😢
What is a girl to do. Yesterday I was all “everything’s going my way again”, you know and am I so fragile that just like that I’m down again? It’s Sunday and I’m alone and grumpy. I’ve just finished going through the thesis preface feedback returned from my mentor a few days ago, for the…

2020-03-31 Crisis, Evolution, Kaczynski, and Poetry.. Oh My!
If you’re into drama and the sob-story of a broken cookie, I’m all about that today. If you’re here for the poetry, skip to the end… Yesterday I was hoping to send my thesis preface and manuscript revisions off early in the day. You know, release myself from the hold it had on me. But…
