I think so too, and have trouble getting motivated to write another novel.<br /><br /> I always admire poets, they always seem to 'do it anyway, even if it doesn't pay' (as you once quoted from the wonderful GW). But that's what people think about novelists, too. And maybe we do ... I'm becoming more interested in subsistence living, as I hate to work at regular jobs. But I see since now you've found heart to put up more poems ...Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689655877873885615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13587771.post-13195159602188021602011-09-17T16:48:38.560+10:002011-09-17T16:48:38.560+10:00Glad you enjoyed the link, Helen.

I'm thinking of swim teaching myself. My daughter does it, and with the few exceptions, she loves the little kids and finds them eager to learn, sweet and funny. On their part they, mostly, adore her. Sounds like cooking pie to me!Cattyroxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535303064712958520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13587771.post-61970371271303251752011-09-12T17:16:49.786+10:002011-09-12T17:16:49.786+10:00Hey Catherine,

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog and how I don't read enough poetry but am always gets something from yours and the poems you present. I can't bake pies but I am thinking of taking up a trade and letting writing be the thing that keeps me up at night for reasons other than financial anxiety.<br />cheers,<br />simmonesimmonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410070490992751751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13587771.post-15285507026449601552011-09-01T09:59:31.868+10:002011-09-01T09:59:31.868+10:00a moving post - thank you Catherine - and terribly...a moving post - thank you Catherine - and terribly sad - Paley's poem is terrificMary McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482261103185786111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13587771.post-67487114090446578382011-08-31T21:07:34.547+10:002011-08-31T21:07:34.547+10:00Catherine, Poetry is never a luxury we cannot affo...Catherine, Poetry is never a luxury we cannot afford, but I "hear" you in terms of what you are saying and enjoyed the Paley link.Helen Lowehttp://helenlowe.info/blog/noreply@blogger.com
