Today is unlike any other.

So much has happened in the last few weeks I haven't had the time or energy to write or blog - this is terrible because it leaves me feeling chocked and stifled.

Soon I will begin writing more short stories as I am really enjoying the freedom they allow me to simply create. It is actually freeing me from my poetry which in the last few years has become a burden. I've lost touch with words but short story writing allows me more space to retrieve those phrases and ideas.

I am very excited for the next chapter of my life: I will finish a proposal for a writing workshop for teen girls, find out if I was accepted to graduate school and my own writing group will reconvene in the fall. Next week I will visit another writing group (in which all participants must pay-unlike my group which is free). I hope to get some ideas from the group. Also, I leave my law job the end of june and I am applying for an arts education internship. Love has also found me and the past two years have been filled with joy. In fact, I am excited for the next few chapters.
