No matter what chaos befalls me, what catastrophe I face, when I resurface, the notepad is on my desk, the computer is waiting, and if I can sit still enough for just a while, a poem begins to brew...Michelle Winghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517361156145245696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977259929006387665.post-4939942045795304452014-03-04T18:22:54.048-08:002014-03-04T18:22:54.048-08:00Tania, we have to keep each other connected.

I am amused to imagine both of us with young ones hanging onto us for dear life - even though in different incarnations. Perhaps they are what keeps us from floating clean away!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282208532610013522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977259929006387665.post-34088965698321982862014-03-03T21:46:07.516-08:002014-03-03T21:46:07.516-08:00Ah Lisa, lovely, here you are, connecting me right...Ah Lisa, lovely, here you are, connecting me right now to my writer self. My post AWP return was messy too, straight into a world of missing homework for one child, doctor's appointment for another, baseball cleats to find...a day I thought ended with bedtime but as I write back to you...comes the youngest "thirsty for water." Watered I was by time with all of you....it is a good life, this being a writer and ever succumbing to the love for both worlds (outside world and inner writing life). Loved reading this! I journal when I can't do anything else, and what I write there seeds other work. Sweet dreams.Tania Pryputniewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177520317393803035noreply@blogger.com
