Bless The Querying Writer.

bless the querying writers
in between
a rock and a hard dream,
wearing their stories
on their sleeves
and just returned
from imaginary lands
still warm to the touch
of their trusty pens.

a world with clean drinking water,
feasts for hungry children,
an end to all the killing,
a wild mustang redemption,
a compassionate God ruling the Heavens
 
or, at the least, the belief in it all,
in [...]

What To Wear To NaNoWriMo.
November 14, 2008

Obviously, you don’t have to be a fashion plate. Case in point — this photo of me in my writing studio, writing a funny part of my NaNo novel. My husband snuck up and snapped me working in the one place I could find some quiet that day, away from my frolicking, happy (barking) terriers.
