I find it so disheartening in a writing class to have students who won't write their own stuff.
I am re-tooling a few poems in the manuscript before I sent it off to a few more places this winter, perhaps before the end of the year. I have been re-energized in confidence by placing in competitions. (If you think that's bragging, anyone, then I guess just mentioning one's near success is boastful.) I am particularly proud to have been recognized in the U. of Wisconsin Press' Poetry series, where my work held up against around 900 manuscripts. Hell yeah!
I mean, the Bears have been depressing. The Wolverines, equally so. And now the b-ball season is not going that well either. Da Bulls are sinking. The Wolverines aren't living up to expectations. It seems like this is a common theme for my sports teams.
So, in the NFL I am rooting for the following teams: NY Giants, San Diego Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals. Right now I am predicting a Chargers v. Cardinals Super Bowl.
