I have added to my sabbatical goals the idea of getting my poetry organized. Perhaps I can put them all in one place and select the few that are ready for prime time. Setting goals like that is eaasier than achieving them. So much of life is taken up with what I did today -- laundry, cleaning, going to the dump, post office and bank, and cleaning the car.
When I do get to writing I hope to focus on what is intersteing to other people--universal human themes, and interesting characters that change.
The Boston Globe had a fascinating story about a six-word short story contest at UMass Boston. Linking to it is difficult, but if you search for "six-word short story contest," you will probably find it.
OK, I seem to have posted it above by following their rules. Enjoy!
