Red Room Where the Writers Are

I will not complain.  I will not complain.  I will not complain.  Okay, maybe

This election -- as I mentioned earlier -- has left me paralyzed writing-wise.

I should be writing my blog story, but its too late to press play on the universal story teller living in the back of my head.

Welcome to my little nook in Red Room.

There is such relief in getting back to writing again.

Not correcting page proofs, or worrying about the book launch for my upcoming music memoir in January, or even blogging.

The wonderful Belle Yang has asked for some specifics about the kinds of editorial comments good editors have made on my poetry.

Right now I'm working on a new book. It's taken awhile to change gears from the last book and onto this one. Part of it is getting to know the new characters.
