I always write in the mornings with coffee... |
On December 26, 2001, I began keeping a daily journal that I referred to as DAILY PAGES for some reason and I was so obsessed with writing everyday that I filled up a 100 page (200 pages both sides) every 3 months... so, for a solid 18 years I have been writing my Daily Pages and keeping them and have all 70+ notebooks in a file cabinet in the basement.
In 2020, one of my new blogs JOURNAL OF DAILY PAGES was theoretically supposed to substitute for my DAILY PAGES but I still write in these notebooks but not as much because I have my online forum. These days, these notebooks record my financial calculations and calories for the various meals that I cook.
This morning, sitting out on the back porch thinking about my poetry, I began to calculate how long would it take for me to publish all my poems. According to my calculations, if I published 5 each day, it would take a little over 21 years or 10 a day would take a little over 11 years. These last several days and some are still scheduled to be published, I have a series where 3-4 are published each day and a second series where 13 are scheduled to be published...
I'm toying with the idea of publishing all my poems before I die or before I get too old to type...
WHY?
Vanity I suppose.
