Kudos to the bloggers
who post every day and sometimes more than once a day. This self-imposed by participation requirement to post at least once a day is very draining. I have little desire to write anything. It may be because this past week has been busy and cold-infected, or by-product of the pressure of NaBloPoMo. It has definitely shown me I do not have enough to say to the world at large to be a full time blogger, so kudos to those who can and are and rock their blogs!
I’ve been posting terrible and short snippets merely to fulfill the posting requirement these past few days, and this is not much of an exception. Hopefully tomorrow, and over the holiday weekend I’ll have more to say, at least about the sestina I’ll be forcing myself to write for class. So, for today, I’ll just mention that I received my copy of The Bedside Guide to No Tell Motel — Second Floor from LuLu today. I am on the whole pleased with the physical quality of the book, though the cover feels more like photographic stock than laminated cardstock which feels weird. I haven’t gotten too far into it yet, but within the first dozen are some pieces that I really like. So a big hat tip goes out to Cati Porter for the link and for being included in the anthology (and yes, it’s a really good poem).
And I should mention that the first Get Your Poem On post at ReadWritePoem is up and waiting for your beat-inspired sentences a la Ginsberg. Oddly, my recent posts are short enough to qualify as American Sentences (some too short), I find it hard, in general, to confine my poems. But I’ll get something for you all before the post is closed.
And, now, I realize I have already posted today. I completely forgot about that post from this morning. Damn the unintentional over-achieving.

Wow! Thanks Tom. Glad you liked the poem!
I haven’t received my contributor copy yet — but am really looking forward to it.
This month has taught me that posting every day is hard! I’ve been careful about spacing my posts out, though — if I’ve already posted once in a day and I have another blog idea, I’ll write it up and save it for tomorrow.
