Always have a long list and usually reading a volume of poetry (Jane Kenyon) and a book about spirituality concurrently. Also reading one of Natalie Goldberg's books. I think it's important for writer's to always have a book about writing on their current reading list.(less)

I'm currently editing the proof of my soon-to-be published 2nd novel, "The Sin of His Father." The idea for this one was truly a gift.

One morning in May of 2006, I woke up at 3:00 AM with the rough outline. I crawled out of bed and jotted down the major story arc.

A few months later, I escaped to my writing retreat and completed a detailed outline along with character and setting sketches. From there, the characters themselves drove the plot in unexpected directions

This was a fun, creative experience compared with the near drudgery of my first spontaneous novel that took so long and called for so many re-writes.(less)

lust–dVerse Quadrille

lust

my thoughts stream in
and out like water—
free, cascading,
life-sustaining. I dance in droplets
(a creative thrust) such
love-making in a pool
of misty water-want

thirst for more and more
until, satiated, I paint
in words or water-color
swirling about to mix beauty.

It has been so long since I’ve posted or even written a poem. Though I’m still in a caregiver mode, I caught Dee’s Quadrille post and felt Read more of this blog post »

message 3: by Beth

Beth Hi Victoria,
Thanks for sending a friend request to this fellow Goodreads author!


Victoria Slotto I'm having a hard time figuring out lots of the social networking sites, too. I hoped to use them to promote my novel, but seem to come away frustrated and confused. Little by little, I guess. You have a companion in angst, Heather!


Heather Stewart Hi Victoria!
Did you know I still haven't figured out how to create a 'status update' here on Goodreads? It was lovely to receive your comment below your poem. Making my way around GR and hopefully I'll survive the learning curve!
Cheers
Heather
