This seems to be my busiest time of year, at least in the recent ones, with Laura's challenge, then the Slice of Life in March, & then April, poetry month with a personal goal. I do enjoy them all, but I'll be honest; sometimes wish I could just read a book!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-9542042301989486742016-03-05T15:07:10.354-07:002016-03-05T15:07:10.354-07:00Thanks for hosting, Linda!

I too have some favorite writing "mentors" who again get me excited about creating, because one can easily lose the joy in the deadlines. Thanks for introducing me to a new site. If you keep this up, you'll be in shape to write a marathon!Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-34342174692381251022016-03-04T20:20:02.239-07:002016-03-04T20:20:02.239-07:00You're welcome, Bridget, lovely to have you co...You're welcome, Bridget, lovely to have you come by.

I am late to the Poetry Friday party because I was on the committee to host the Long Island Language Arts Council/Nassau Reading Council's Literacy Conference.
