Turning Corners

You ever get to a point of change, ready to turn a corner but old projects and obligations keep you from moving? Yeah. A stale place, where the air has not moved in what seems centuries. I'm there today. Got something brewing inside, something different but still have things to finish here, in this current phase before I can move on.

Maybe it's the same doldrums I experienced the last two times I went to Nationals--a sort of anti-climax that lingers while one reassesses goals.

Still wrestling with that compete or not compete question. Still struggling to get back to my first love--page publication. Still listening for that hidden voice and, unfortunately, still sitting over my journal with a pen in my hand and no words coming. This is not a block--it's more of an intrusion, daily life overtaking my creative moments, stealing the fresh images again. Once again I find I'm learning to pace myself and breathe.

A Woman You Know is in second printing. Nice to know folks still enjoy my humble words.

Today's music: Joss Stone, "Mind, Body and Soul"
Favorite cuts: "Right to Be Wrong," "You Had Me," "Don't Cha Wanna Ride"
Today's goal: Submit at least two poem groups to selected journals. Get organized for my Larry's feature. Get back into Larry's season mode and support the troops. Get back into technology mode with my job--new project breathing down my neck.
Weekend Plans: Find out whether there's any jazz in my jazzmoe.
