Last year I started a notebook for collage and drawing. I called it a ‘daily’ notebook, knowing I wouldn’t manage to do it every day, like the “30-day yoga challenge” that I’ve been doing since November. But it is a good project. I try to be relaxed and remember it’s just a sketchbook for me to screw around in. I do find it hard not to shoot for something worth keeping. And then I curse myself for not getting a notebook with perforated pages.

Anyway! This is my new website, and this is the blog. There’s no way I’ll be blogging like I did in the heyday of The Rain in my Purse, which I’ll be retiring, but I hope to show up. In a draft stage, this page was called ‘News.’ How much news can a person have, though? If I stop in to write about some wonderful thing I ate, is it news? I know the word ‘blog’ is ugly and wonky, but there you have it.

Thanks to Jenni B. Baker, who designed the site and helped me work out the kinks. If you’re like me and don’t have the time and stamina to get through setting up a site by yourself, I recommend her! I owe more to Jenni than this site, however, since she’s one of the people who introduced me to found poetry.
