Colorful Journey of Success interview from last October.  Posted on YouTube in early March of 2017.  I was so nervous. :-]    Don’t know why it says Smashwords.  They were only one of my publishing resources.  Oh well.

April 1

write a Kay-Ryan-esque poem: short, tight lines, rhymes interwoven throughout, maybe an animal or two, and, if you can manage to stuff it in, a sharp little philosophical conclusion.

Remember when

typing one

letter at a time

was better.

Mistakes erased

with whiteout.

What a pain.

Today computers

edit our mistakes,

smart, they say.

Too smart.

Red lines nd

green ones too

squelch creativity,

put in words

never meant

Elephants remember

I want to forget.

April 2

write a poem inspired by, or in the form of, a recipe! It can be a recipe for something real, like your grandmother’s lemon chiffon cake, or for something imaginary, like a love potion or a spell.

I wrote this back in 2004 Kerry? Bush?

Looks like it’s still true.

“The plot is well-developed with some genuine surprises, and Gina Martin is a stellar protagonist: smart, confident, and independent.”
