Exercise

    I'm on page four of a project Practice of Poetry has me working on... every day for ten days I'm supposed to give myself a certain amount of time or a given space on the page to write until and I have to write continuously about anything that comes to my mind. I've heard of something similar before but never tried it. Kinda scary really, but it's turning out well and not nearly as scary as I thought. It is definitely an interesting experiment.

Practice of Poetry

    For my birthday, I wanted a book to help me hone my skills and I picked The Practice of Poetry by Robin Behn and Chase Twichell. It contains writing exercises from poetry teachers. So far it's very interesting and not for the faint of heart. hehe well not that bad... It does very much pick your brain though but that's the good part. It is turning out to be what it is supposed to be, a very good exercise for my heart and mind. Anyone interested should definitely pick up this book. :)
