A Chapbook, a Star Poem, Loss, and the Garden of Eden

Happy April 13th- I'm too lazy to look up why this day is significant. Actually, it's significant to me because I have finally finished a new poem! It is the 11th or 12th installment in the Letters to Emma collection, and I finally got to use all of my star terminology.

So the lovely Emma Bartholomew and I have finally started to knuckle down on two ongoing projects:
The first is a chapbook of letter poems that has been a work-in-progress since our frantic dissertation scramble last summer.
The second is a novella (I'm not keeping my fingers crossed for it to reach novel length) set in the Garden of Eden. It's almost to seventy pages at the moment, so we're aiming for some further development, but not to actually triple the length or anything.

So, on top of the full length novel that I'm having a kickboxing match with every day, these two projects are in full force launch as well. Whew, and I actually need to find another job. What a silly world!

SO, I know I missed my update/NMP entry yesterday, but that was due to the fact that I was actually doing some writing, so...
