How I wish it would snow. Instead we had another gray day, this one marked by rain and sleet and wind. At least our Christmas tree is up and decorated. I went with a blue and silver theme again. When the white lights are on, it's somehow glitzy and cozy at the same time.

Today was a hard day for writing. I managed to get over 1000 words, but I had to apply some serious butt-in-chair stubbornness to achieve that. It's not that I don't know what happens next; it's more frustration that the words aren't beautiful yet. I know I can work on that in the second (and third and fourth and...) pass, but as a poet, it doesn't feel right to keep moving on. When I was on medication that caused brain fog, it really affected my word association and word play abilities. Now I feel more present and alert, but my pretty word making skills are rusty.

This week another of my editorial selections is up at Strange Horizons: "Let Water Be Water" by Joe Aguilar. It's a short, funny poem that manages to be both zany and zen. It still makes me smile every time I read it.
