It came up in conversation

The fact that I’ve been writing on my blog

Every day

I told her

“A lot of good things have come out of it

But good writing isn’t one of them.”

//

I asked the fans a question

And they answered back

With warmth and smiles in their words

It was helpful to hear

And most of all I kept thinking

“They responded!”

//

Papers come in so many weights

And textures

And colors and

It turns out

One isn’t better than another

They’re just different

Just like people

And pasta

//

Every morning I wake up guilty

Over being so tired

And sleeping in because

I’m so tired

Because I stayed up too late

Again

Every morning I tell myself

“Tonight I’ll go to bed early.”

But then the evening comes

And the kids are tucked cozy in their beds

And I am free

To work and make

And dream
