Getting My Ducks in a Row

(OK, they're Canadian geese, but you get the point.)









Sometimes the only way out is through. So in order to get myself on track, here’s my poetry to-do list for the entire world to see.


This week

• Prepare for tomorrow's NEWS Reading
• Write one poem
• Write next Poetry Thursday article
• Write article for side project
• Send poetry out to two publications
• Research cool side project—more on that later

(I’d do more this week but I have friends visiting from Texas. They’ll join us for the Red Sox-Yankees game on Friday! Woo Hoo!!!)


Next week

• Write one poem
• Start prepping to team-teach a seminar at Brookline Adult & Community Education
• Research publishers/contests to send manuscript
• Do a minor revision to manuscript—I want to add a few poems to my current collection
• Research local and regional organizations for grants and fellowships
• Look into writing a commentary for NPR—this is a dream of mine that I’ve been mulling over for a long time
  

What's on your to-do list?
