Lots of writing going on here and submitting too, to lit journals. Looking forward to brushing my teeth and going to bed. These late hours of writing are a solace and a sin.

OFFICIAL BLOG RENEWAL POST001-1014
Each success, no matter how small, in practice of what I love is a lightning strike against the dark. And I have been in dark, metaphorically dark and literally extinguished places. I’ve been around fires a blazin’ too and they can be happy places!
Ah ha, yes. Well.
I am a poet/mother/wife living with bipolar disease. [...]

It’s the same old, same old…still kind of living like a hermit…but I am getting out more. Writing in the middle of the night…sleeping as I can. I have been pushing hard to get poems out—to produce them and to send them to literary journals for possible publication. I have six poems coming up in [...]
Still Alive

I am still alive…waiting for my next appointment during which the stitches will be removed and the hard cast will be put on.

My doctor explained some of the results of the MRI done of my left knee but I didn’t catch all of the anatomical terms to [...]
