Yep, Euphrates is going to do this (not like I've got anything getting in the way of my time right now, right?), and hey, sounds like a great way to dust off the ol' Livejournal and get back into the habit of posting and reading regularly right? So here we go!

Okay, so we're heading to Columbus tomorrow, to spend the rest of the week at ORIGINS GAME FAIR!
(And yes, the Red Swingline will be along for photo ops.) :D

For anyone else going to Origins, I'll be easy to find - I'm volunteering in the Table Top area every day (Wed-Saturday) from noon to 4pm.

And yeah, I failed again this year. At least at doing poetry every day. But I DID write more, and got inspired enough to pick up a few books on form to play around with...so I'll count that as a win.

Now that poem #4 has finally landed on the page, I expect I'll get all caught up tonight. :) Every now and then, one takes over for a few days, and then the dams burst. Good timing, as the RHPO3 should be home in about 2 hours or so (got the call as they were coming up on the mountains around 10am), which means when I go to bed I get to STAY THERE  ( Read more... )

This one has been writing itself ever since the day we got Prompt # 4 (a history poem) on the same day I noticed the redbuds had started blooming already. The tree by my bus stop is bursting in all it's lavender glory now, and greets me every morning. I'm always a little sad when they come this early, because they won't be there for the birthday...

2010 April PAD Challenge Day 5

For today's prompt, write a TMI poem (or too much information poem). As with all prompts, there are a number of ways to come at this one. You can make it about gossip or revealing too much personal information. You could write an information overload poem. Or...well, I'm ( Read more... )

By the time Robert got around to posting his prompt this morning, I was down for the count. :)

2010 April PAD Challenge Day 4

Back in Georgia (our illustrious leader is currently living in Atlanta)! Another late night driving. Another late post. Good news: I don't have any other road trips planned until later this month. Hooray!
