got #14 about 95% down. this one has a tricky line in the middle of the sonnet that trips me up. but i’ll keep working on this one and start #18 which most people know by the “shall i compare thee to a summer day..” line.

I downloaded all the sonnets to my laptop so I can take them with me and work on this during down/boring moments. I’ll have to set a goal like one a month or something like that. I also thought that I can work on my penmanship and try writing lefthanded and work on the memorization thing all at the same time by copying the sonnets into my paper travel journal!

I need to copy the sonnets and some other shorts into my journal or something before I take off so I can continue to work on this, it’ll be good for downtime/boring days on the road and mental agility.

I started this this year by memorizing 2 sonnets that I really like. I started with #29 and #55. I also memorized 3 pieces by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
