I don't know or remember where I've heard that quote. But I just thought about it. I suppose it's the moral, or at least similar to the idea that if the world gives you lemons, make lemonade.
This week has been a hell of a week. I will not relive it here. Just know, that I've been pissy and moody.
However, I decided to channel that energy into something productive. I decided to stop saying "I have enough poems for another manuscript" and actually produce it.
Tonight, I put together another manuscript.
A couple days ago, I assembled a chapbook.
Monday, I have to send it off, for a deadline, for the Crab Orchard Open Series. Within the next month, I need to send it to Tupelo for the Dorsett Prize.
Tis the season for sowing. Next season, reaping.
