Goals for 2013
My 2012 goal of Create was a success. I made more paintings. I didn’t make much progress on the music quilt, but maybe 2013 will be nicer to it. Wrote several poems and letters I am proud of, finished NaNo, and worked on short stories. My 2013 word for the year is Productivity. I already …
NaNo–Day 28
Today is a record. I have not finished NaNo prior to November 30, so to finish on November 28 with 50,396 words is pretty awesome. To sleeping for a full eight hours and writing more poetry, I welcome December.

Last Day!
It’s the final day of 2011. Celebrating New Year’s is one of my favorite holidays because it’s a time to reflect on the past and make new goals for the future. So 2011 was an odd year. I sprained my finger, moved to an apartment, published two poems, learned to make different breads, read more books, wrote a …
Writing Goals
It’s always good to have some kind of goal in mind. Mine usually take the shape of long lists on my computer. Feeling creative enough to use glue, I made a poster with all of my writing/reading/translating goals and hung it near my writing space. So I can look at it but not let it …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I finished the book. Rarely do I respond out loud when I’m reading or have a physical reaction, so when I say “No!” for example or cry or feel my heart race, I really know the story has moved me. In the last ten pages I started crying, even stopping in the middle of a …
