This blog is a spur, a goad, a nagging voice -- or perhaps it's a carrot on a stick, a gold star, an encouragement -- to simply make the use of my time and create something every day.

Blue Jay
Okay, get ready for a few posts.
This one was the cover for Mark Lyon's beautifully written, "He Sure Do Want To Fly."
What a story! When I first read it as a submission, I was so moved I couldn't be sure of my opinion. I sent it to Cheryl, our Poetry Editor and Voice of Reason. She, too, was impressed, and I sent Mark an acceptance letter. In the mean time, Bernie took my printed-out copy with him to work to read, and after he read it, one of his co-workers snitched it from him, becoming so engrossed she hid the manuscript in a bin of parts so that she could read it while she worked!
Yeah, it was a good one.
