Today I went through the 73 poems and noted this: 9 published, 34 that feel complete and 30 that need revision. Ah, 30. That is a bit more than I had hoped, but some of these only need work on the titles and/or the endings (my two really HUGE weak points). I also have about [...]

Even after I went thru and reduced the amount of things I was doing online, and dropped working on fiction and non-fiction for the time being, I still feel overwhelmed!
Last week I didn’t even get a chance to finish all the housecleaning and I really haven’t started this week well for that either!
