The life of a new writer. Here she is with the beginning of a manuscript.
It
is wet and cold out there and I guess we are waiting for strong winds,
too. Alright, so I guess November is
right around the corner and even if we call it fall, it starts to feel like
winter. I'm convinced this November
won't be difficult. I'm convinced
because my October was difficult, which is not normally the case, than November
will be easy, or at least it will be productive.
The
Center For New Americans in Northampton does a poem a day fundraiser in
November. I have participated a couple
of times. I didn't feel like I could
this year because I had just done my own fundraiser, but if you are interested
in helping new immigrants or you like challenging yourself writing poetry, go
to their website and sign up to do it.
It really is fun and at the end of the month they will have a big
reading. Try it out.
I
will write a poem a day in the first week of November and then I will go back
to writing my blog again, but periodically post poems I wrote in past
Novembers. Meanwhile, I need to make a
list of all the poems I have posted on this year's blog and see which ones I
want included in the new manuscript.
I
wrote a little bit of the book yesterday.
It has been really slow in the past two weeks. But I have had four new original mothers contact
me interested in the book. Part of me
feels like soon I will have to stop interviewing and just finish writing, but
at the moment I am still so interested in stories.
This is one of the books I mentioned yesterday. It looks really interesting.

Today was a terrible photo day, but 5 years ago it was a wonderful photo day. And thus, it goes.
