Because I’m starting down the road of being a novelist and a poet, I am starting a newsletter so that people can see what I’m doing. The newsletter will be sent every third Monday and will arrive in your email address. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting.

No trees, roots, or leaves
in desert cemeteries —
stones, rocks, dirt, and dust.

On frozen pavement,
tongues stuck out to attempt to
capture a snowflake.

Hello snow,
we came to say hello
to you and the deer.
(someone asked if I ever see wild animals)

Snow’s starting to stick,
he says over the phone.
It’s freezing up here.
I miss the cold and winter,
but visit once in a while.

My Dec. editing got a little rough because there’s so much going on. Family and other demands get in the way. So, I’m in my chair & I’m turning through scenes to sure they make sense. I’m taking notes about the structure. I’m not worried about grammar level quality yet. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I just straightened out my novel’s prologue. I type fast when I’m rushing. Basically I’m just typing. I don’t pay attention to spellings, correct grammar, or correct punctuation. Anything. I blaze through as fast as I can, so that I can get as much text down as possible. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting
