Billy Elliot (10/12) Movie CLIP - What Dancing Feels Like (2000) HD

This, this, this--is why I write.

Not because I sometimes get published, not because I can't NOT do it (I didn't do it for 15 years and I have few regrets), but because once the stiffness stops and I get going, there is nothing, nothing like it.

Well, sex, but that's muscle memory, too.

In the last month...

Eight poems were accepted; four of them are up right now--three at Parable Press; one at The Centrifugal Eye.

My MS was a finalist, still a bridesmaid, but the dress is a little more fetching this time.

I finished off two batches of 214 students and now have two more.

My 342 students are awesome.  I love them, their poems, their hard-working attitude.

I donated 18 bags of stuff to the thrift store behind my house.

I fixed up the man I was dating with my friend; they have moved in together.

I am a poem-writing, teaching yenta.

I have only cried once today.  That's an improvement.
