I know, I know. I just posted my swan song a few days ago, but that was concerning compulsively posting to prompts. I hereby recant to the degree that I will occasionally publish, perhaps, something I’ve written of my own accord..can’t wipe writing entirely out of my life, but it is taking a back seat for awhile. Meanwhile we are planning the next kid’s camp, I’m getting a book published, editing an anthology and I’m playing with my friend Jane who just arrived. Some little trips, game sessions, shopping trips, hammock lounging, swimming and art activities will take precedence. Getting this compulsive behavior dealt with.
So, adios. Sort of!!!!

Looks like I’ve got some catching up to do. I must read your swan song before I write mine. What is your new book about?

It needs to be re-edited and reprinted. I’ll tell you when it is ready. It is an anthology of the work of six poets, myself included.

Also a book called Sunup/Sundown Song.. and illustrated children’s book. It’s all ready to go. That one is just mine and my illustrator’s work.

It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, to quote the old cliche. 🙂 And second thoughts are often more balanced. I’m ready to quit, too, at times, but I think we write because we have to communicate.
In your “swan song” you mentioned all your older posts. Maybe you could re-post the ones you liked best. I know readers can dig into your archives anytime, but will anyone actually do that? It’s a lot easier to have your selection pop into our Reader. And some of us are a tad forgetful; whatever we read two years ago is only fog now.

A very good idea.. I’ll do this. I have your poem taped to my desk where I read it every day. A reminder.

You are sounding better. I know I’ve had to slow down what I’ve been doing on my blog too. Trying to do every challenge is hard and sometimes frustrating. Just have fun in everything you do and you will find balance. 😀

Thanks, Marilyn. Tomorrow will be a very social day. Today was the crowning of the Primavera Reina’s at Yoli’s kindergarten. Eleven little girls and two boys in full formal splendor, each with their own decorated float. Quite a spectacle. Primavera means spring and is also the name of a spectacular bright yellow-blossomed tree that is now in full bloom.
