desayunoencamaThe new queer genre magazine I mentioned a while back, COLLECTIVE FALLOUT, has accepted my gay fairy tale poem "Skating Beauty" for the Jan 09 issue.
I am in the mood to write more poetry. But I'm not find the time or space to do so.
A few years ago, I used to leave my laptop at home and take my notebook to cafes around 21 or 22h and write for a bit.
These past weeks, though, I've been filling in at the bookstore for someone who's on vacation, so I don't get off work until 21:30h or so, and I'm too tired to do much of anything.
And I haven't quite figured out how to coordinate my time around the regular workshift, especially since the hours I'm working for the bookstore are exactly when I did most of my work...
But hopefully I'll manage to find time and space (because I find the physical space is often helpful for me for writing poetry, a space out of my normal routines, or giving myself dedicated time/space devoted just to it, and to flex those creative muscles again).
A friend has recently started going to yoga, and another friend just started at the same bikram place, so I'm thinking of maybe giving that a try, too, although perhaps not until September...
I'm such a bundle of contradictions, both desperately wanting and taking comfort from and at the same time eschewing and fleeing from routine.
