As I published books, I realized, that's not really what I want. I don't care about the books as much anymore. I just want to write poetry.
My life in general, orderly or not, it allows me more freedom in my own writing. Sometimes I wonder, though - I have friends that sit around and just write all day. And I think it's the coolest thing.
I feel like I give myself all day long to other people and other things, and I still seem like I have something to write once in awhile. Not often, though.
Most of my writing friends are working in academia. Most of my business school friends are always talking about bringing companies public, and money, and making money, and lots and lots of money. It's just a different environment.
I've always just liked writing poetry, but it's much later that I've discovered that there's this whole poetry world out there, that you almost have to be accepted into, like this little club.
