1. How I did on last week’s goals
I managed to write 1 stanza, get a little more sleep, and celebrate my birthday! But there wasn't any swimming and I still didn't start reading a new verse novel. However, I did write a new poem!
2. My goal(s) for this week
Same as last week's!
- Write 2 more stanzas
- Start reading a verse novel.
- Get some more sleep.
- Go swimming.
3. A favorite line from my story OR one word/phrase that sums up what I wrote/revised.
From the new poem...
It is the liminal moment,
the razor’s edge,
the tip toe waltz.
Where the sky meets the sea
meets a line in the sand.
4. The biggest challenge I faced this week.
Finding time to write. It was my birthday week, so things were a little busier because of that and work is still kind of overwhelming. Hoping things chill out some more. I need the pressure to lift a bit.
5. Something I love about my WiP.
Same things I've said before - playing with voice and mood and poetry. Reading in a new genre/form, etc.
How did you do this week?

Hope you had a great birthday week! :) I really like the stanza you shared.
Love the phrase "the tiptoe waltz." :)
Have a great birthday week! I love that last bit you shared of the poem about the sand and the line. :)
Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Loved the lines from your poem, particularly the last two :). Hope this week is just as productive for you!
beautiful poem! I think swimming is a great goal, too. I need to add it to my own since pretty soon it'll get too cold. Might as well enjoy the rest of the summer!
Happy Belated Birthday! And glad you had such a good birthday week! Also, I LOVE your stanza. LOVE. IT. Keep writing and sharing please. :)
Have a great week!
Love the stanza, and happy birthday!
"the tip toe waltz" <---Love it.
Also, I owe you an email back but I've been swamped. Short story: Your poetry is gorgeous. But I might have said that before...
