Hi, gang. I apologize for being absent for awhile – a nasty wrist injury has kept me away from my computer and in a bit of a slump as I’m forced to consider the effect it will have on my career.
Thankfully a ray of sunshine arrived in the form of a new poem – For the Girl in the Grove – published on one of my favourite poetry sites – Algebra of Owls.
This link will take you there if you’d like a look – For the Girl in the Grove
I’d also like to thank Paul and his editorial team – Algebra of Owls is a wonderful site and the staff do such a great job reading and responding to submissions. Definitely a site to check out if you haven’t visited before.
Enjoy your weekend 🙂
Lovely poem Ryan… Congrats! Hope your wrist heals soon.

Why thank you, dear Al. How are things in your world? Are we NaNo-ing again this year?

Things are great! Yep, going to try Nano-ing this year, though pretty pregnant and always chasing after a toddler and writing might be difficult. 😉 We will see how much I get done!

I’m also doing a mock NaNo right now, but this novel’s so weird I don’t think even I like it. 😛

Thanks, Beth. Typing left handed is slow going but has given me a whole new appreciation for predictive text! I appreciate your kind words. Algebra of Owls is certainly worth a visit 🙂

Oh no, I hope you’re better soon. I hurt my left hand about a year ago and typed one handed for a while. Thank you for the link.
