Poetry and Me

Poem/Line count: Two poems

Hello. I've been on blogger since 2005. When I first started, I posted many blog journals that 

expressed my interest as well as my hopes and dreams in this journey we call life.  A great deal has happened since then.  For example, in the past 10 years, I've been married; I've published one book of Blues-Inspired poetry (Liquid Lunch); and I have secured a full-time job teaching college English.

Well, today I have started writing again. I am putting together another collection of Blues-inspired poetry and I want readers of MC to be involved. I think that this will encourage me and also keep  MC readers informed about my progress. So, each day I will post even if I write only one line. The progress will be at the top of the post. Thank you and enjoy your day.

Thursday Thoughts: Consistency

The weather has been so nice today.  I couldn't have planned it better myself.  I thank God.  He gives us relief from the sweltering heat.  Well, today I actually sat down to write.  I started by revising a poem that I plan to submit, and then I worked on an outline for my next book.  I'm excited about it; I want to share my progress with you as I write.  Sharing my progress will keep me motivated.  There's something about being transparent.  If I don't share my progress with someone, I will only be accountable to myself.  However, if I am documenting my progress and sharing it with interested readers, it motivates me to be consistent.  Yes, consistency is what I need.  It's what I need for every good thing in my life.  Anyway, I am finished with my outline and ready to get this off my chest.  Don't worry, none of my writing will start with the phrase, "...a dark foggy night." *giggle*  Enjoy the rest of your day.  Peace~

Busy Bess

The J O B got a brotha on lock! I haven't been able to write like I've wanted for the last week or so. My down time is on the way though. I have so much to say in 2006. Peace and stay up.
