I ended the week of poetry. If you came here for a poem: TOO BAD. No poem for you! Ha, totally burned.<\/p>\n

But seriously, that was an interesting experiment for me. It felt… nice. I really did feel that compulsion to write like I feel the compulsion to write these blogs every day, and I was thinking all day about what the poem I was going to bang out was going to be. Sometimes I got caught off-guard, and did something completely different, but, you know. I was working. Planning. There was creative output to it. That’s… really neat.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I always loved doing workshops was the demand that I create something. That demand made it happen. I so often had plans and ideas that I wasn’t putting down on paper, and suddenly I had a deadline where I had to. I loved that. (I also loved discussing all that stuff with like-minded people, too, of course.)<\/p>\n

This really worked that way! None of the poems I wrote were totally great, perse. (I liked the one about the shoes<\/a>.) But they were all certainly poems. I’ve written worse first drafts in the past. I created! It felt good.<\/p>\n

Basically, what I’m saying is, you’re probably going to be seeing more poetry here. Not all the time: during the experiment, I really did wish I could have written some old fashion style bloegs. You’ll still see them too. But I’m thinking maybe a poem a week? Maybe more if I feel inspired? I don’t know. It was nice to live up to my screen name again. I think I’ll keep that up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
