1. Work on my poetry (Poetry Journal) - year round
PROGRESS - I have written several new poems and am reworking some older ones from my journals. I think I'm up to 43 real poems; I think most of them could probably still use some work, but it is exciting to see so many when a few years ago I had maybe 12 and the idea of having more than 30 was really daunting.2.
