I am sad tonight. Because I have done yet another foolish thing because I say more than I should. I blabber and rant and rave. I am wild and I leap before even the thought of leaping has occurred.

Sometimes it’s hard to update my blog. I can’t figure a real reason for it. The last two times I tried to update, I ended up writing the beginning of an essay. That often happens and I don’t publish those things because most journals won’t publish your piece if it has appeared ( Read more... ) -
