How I did it: I googled "30 poems in 30 days". There is a site that guides you through it. I think it's called "poe-war" or something like that.I set a timer for myself for 30 minutes each time. It often took far less than that. I averaged around 15 minutes per poem. I purposefully did not edit while writing. I just used the writing prompts supplied and let it flow.I'm not saying they're good poems. I'm saying I wrote 30 of them in 30 days. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found songs that were in my vocal range that were not too complicated in terms of hand placement, etc. Then I just practiced practiced practiced until I knew them without looking at the tab sheet. Read how I did it…
I’m still going to my women’s support group. I started my own meetup. I still see my friends from my old job. My support circle at work seems to be dwindling. I need to find a way to boost it.
But hey my goal is to find friends outside of work. Well, it’s not easy. It was alot easier when I was younger and went to church. Only now I’m no longer willing to put up with all of the patriarchal crap that goes along with church. What to do…
I met two online friends in person that weekend in Portland. One from a forum and one from an email listserve I’ve subscribed to for almost 10 years. It was fun. Don’t know if I’ll ever see them again but at least I got to meet them face to face.
I’m starting to think I want to move back to the city. I don’t think it makes sense to put any more money into this place if I’m just going to leave in a few months. I’ve already put far too much into it and it’s still not where I’d like it to be.
I think I will save up for a comfortable sofa and leave it at that. That’s an item I can take with me to my new place.
