Week 48

Not much to report. I earned $1.56 this week from my writing. That brings my total for the year to: $974.05.

I still think a signed book could make a unique Christmas gift. Drop me an email: jcvandez@delta.edu

Tipping my hat to my friend, Josh Maday, I started reading William Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust. Much of what I've been reading lately feels light weight compared to W.F. What a writer. He's like a bold merlot.

Also, while reading the Spring '08 issue of Controlled Burn, I came across the following poem by C.P. Stewart.

Autumn

Another summer slips away.
I feed my fire a cherry bough.
The endless days are ended now,
and the wasps are drunk on the fallen plums.


I don't know . . . I just like it. Bravo, Controlled Burn, on picking that one!
