FROG jam...

...yum.

ME

It's always "all about me". The prose pieces that flew the farthest had "me" in them. So I'm down to 23 for 22 spots in the chapbook (a mini-book of just a few pages, let's say 7 or 8 sheets of paper = 28 to 32 pages, which should be enough for 22 pieces of lyrical prose/poetry and acknowledgements et cetera).

Thomas Harper from WDC helped as did Shannon Kemp, Parris Young and Ann Bodle-Nash. 2 women, 2 men; different ages; from Minnesota, North Carolina, Montana, Washington. There were definite splits along gender and age for some of the pieces. Must consider that.

Some of the pieces did not include "me"... as in... they were about someone else in 2nd or 3rd person. No problem. I have bunches of stuff that falls into that category and should I make a pile of them I could repeat the process I used this time. Choose a group of people and let them grade them. Could use another chapbook by February....

Then there's NaNoWriMo. My "Blood of the Garlic" stories have never been finished but I was already thinking about more placed in Portugal... but I'm apparently not visiting there this November.

So... need to find a theme. A group in Spanish may be in order for "Etud en sol bemol". 30 should do to join the 2 or 3 I've already written.

Projects...

Autumn is "over" here. Winter begins tonight. Winds, possible snow, could be bitter cold ...teens. Whether it returns to autumn later remains to be seen.

So yesterday was the last day of market. Said good-bye to folks. Bought Tuscan sausages, ate one of "Crazy" Mike's breakfast sandwiches (He's off to Costa Rica come December), bought two small buttercup squashes and some parsnips from the Johnsons.

And FROG jam from April and Ruth: FROG = fig, raspberry, orange, ginger. It's very good.
