Light-hearted poems on the taste of pulpy lemonade and the pleasures of reading a library book mix with more serious subjects including faith, loss, and compost. These poems walk through the seasons of the year, reflecting light off clouds, snow, rain, and water. as well as the inner spaces of thought. Previously published titles include: "March Snow Hare," "My Mother's Compost," "As the Leaves Fall," and "Breaking the Stillness."

I too fixed the first chapter of my book, its reads much better now. Why just 4+ glasses, shouldn't it be around 8 (minimum) in a day.
Oh wow, that sounds like the best way to spend Valentine's Day! I'm jealous :)
Next week will be better. Enjoy your ski day!
I love your line, "chucking with glee". We all need to do more of that.
Oh heck - that would have been better if I'd spelled chuckling correctly.
I think you're allowed to not bike 80 miles if you've been sick.
Me? I have no excuse for not getting up and just walking around the house more >_<.
Ahh...a Valentine snow day, sounds fun. And what a relief to solve a chapter problem isn't it?
Rachna - fixing a plot issue in chapter one can really help the rest of the book! And although I need 8 glasses, I find that number a bit daunting, so I'm starting with something smaller. I don't count herbal teas or any other drinks in that count . .
Laura - no need to be jealous. It rained an icy cold rain on us all day.
Alex - thanks for your positive encouragement!
LD - I have typos all the time on the web. It just happens. :)
Catherina - yes, and yes! Thanks for stopping by!
Yay for snow days! Except when they keep the kids home from school. ;) Hope you're having a great weekend.
That was a cosy Valentine's day!
Congratulations on the release of your collection, Tyrean -- and good luck with your W1S1 this month. I got mine out early only because it was flash-sized, and I've got some final novel edits to work through. Onward and upward, right?
Congrats on fixing that first chapter problem, and so exciting about the poetry collection release! Sorry to hear you had been sick, though--that's never fun!
Perhaps I should add drinking more water to my list of goals. Everyone's always on me about how soda just isn't the same. ;-) Good news on solving the Champion in Flight problem. And here's to satisfying results from Light Reflections!
Finding time for goals and making them happen is harder than it wuold seem. I've been setting some for myself and it has been harder to get them done than I thought it would.
Good job for getting some of yours done, I hope you're feeling better.
Water is a good one! Helps you think. Good luck for the rest of the month.
I think your focusing on the small things should be top priority, especially when you're sick! Hope you are feeling better and can tackle those goals head on from here on out!
