How I did it
How to do napowrimo 2009 (a poem a day during April)
It took me
30 days
It made me
introspective

How I did it: I wrote at night, often after midnight. I don't remember ever starting with a subject. I let my thoughts wander, hoping something interesting would emerge, whether it was a memory or story or just a word or phrase I liked. I spent between 30 minutes to an hour drafting and then I revised the ones I wanted to post. Receiving encouragement on 43T turned out to be a wonderful thing for me. I will miss reading the poems of my fellow napowrimo… Read how I did it…

Help plan my mom's surprise 70th birthday party (read all 9 entries…)

This was taken by my father two days after I was born, in an Inglewood, Calif., hospital. Dad was not in town for my birth. Instead, he was on a so-called work trip, where the main event was bowling with his company team. Mom says she had planned to tell him just how teed off she was by his absence. But he strategically showed up at the hospital with his mother. So when he took this picture, Mom had to bite her tongue a little bit.
