Would people be interested in/ok with poetry postings? I saw a keynote the other day by a graphic artist who felt uninspired and decided to create a skull a day for 365 days. He also decided that each one had to be different—made of different materials or with different techniques. He really got a lot out of it (including a book deal and a lot of new business). [link] Anyway, I was thinking that could be fun to do with writing, and I was considering doing a poem a day, with each one being a different poetry type. Not sure if there are 365 different poetic forms, but I ordered a book on them Friday, so I guess I'll find out.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

That sounds wonderful!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I would love to get back into drabbling, and Calli, I would love to see the poetry thing. That sounds like a great idea.

Great! The book on poetical forms is supposed to arrive between Friday and Monday, so I'll probably start around then. I'm looking forward to seeing people's drabbles, too!

Always Anti-fascist!
I can try, though somebody else just passed on my book, so I'm not so sure that anyone wants to read anything of mine, ever. I'm not sure they ever have.(That urge that people had to put things in with the manuscript to see if they get disrupted? Makes even more sense in the age of the e-mail form letter, although I don't know how someone would do that, but I don't even feel like anyone looks at all the painstaking...homework they make me compile. But they all wish me good luck with lots of exclamations, which totally mitigates the sense that my creative work is about to join my actual life as The Southwest's greatest dead end, so, yay for that!

I actually just finished writing a chapter! I decided to put everything else aside tonight and treat myself to a little writing.

Yes, you should do that more often!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I committed writing, on the death of a colleague who was not all one thing: [link]
It still feels pretty incoherent in my head. I hope it's less so on the screen/page.

Seems clear to me, Karl. And truly compassionate.
