Lots to be thankful for today!
1. When I walked to the library to return books at lunchtime, I found a book of Billy Collins poetry on the 50-cent book sale rack.
NINE HORSES is the only one I didn’t already own. Suffice to say, I own it now and read it all the way back to school.
2. I’m thankful for the guy who almost ran me over because I was crossing the street reading. He didn’t run me over, and when I finally looked up from my poem, alarmed and sheepish, he smiled instead of making a rude gesture. That was nice of him. Happy National Poetry Month, guy-in-the-pickup-truck!
3. My Advanced Creative Writing students are giving the spotlight presentation at tonight’s school board meeting. Four of them are reading from their works in progress. They are brave and talented and awesome, and I’m mighty proud of them.
4. Tomorrow, I leave for the NE SCBWI Conference! I’m going to see my critique buddies
I love NINE HORSES, and all things Billy Collins. See you tomorrow!!
See you tomorrow! Yay!
Have a fabulous time! Wish I could be there! Give Jenn a hug for me! 🙂
That would have been very tradgic if you didn’t come back to school because you got ran-over. You were lucky! Yay!
I’ve been trying to track-down a book all week called “The Ivy Chronicles” by Karen Quinn and I am waiting for the public library to get it back! 🙂 But first I must finish “Milkweed”! 🙂
Have a nice day/afternoon/night/what-ever-time-of-day-you-are-reading-this. lol
