I do write poetry, but I haven't published anything. I never feel like my poems are quite finished and often tweak them years later. For me, poetry is more cathartic. I'll have to check out renovation magazine… ~Allison Hi, Cathryn,
Thanks for writing. I do write poetry, but I haven’t published anything. I never feel like my poems are quite finished and often tweak them years later. For me, poetry is more cathartic.

I’ll have to check out renovation magazine…

I was writing an article this week for a renovation mag. It was the 4th I had to do in three days. I was plum out of adjectives. The wrought iron gates, window treatments, etc. were elegant and beautiful. But, my article was like dull mush. So, I went to a fancier home mag and found some good adjectives. Some I incorporated immediately and some I just typed at the top of the page for further reference. After finishing the article, sent it in. My editor called later and thought the article was great, especially the two one word sentences: Adorn. Abundant. What a hoot! MomCat out mistakes often work out to good.

Noticed the poetics.... Do you write poetry? where? Enjoyed this little blurb. Thanks, Cathryn flowers Ritchie p.s. I'm in winter park, panera, as I write...still trying to wake up. Writing and organizing. Didn't quite read the above reply info required. When it said, Mail, I put female....duhhh. Came back and I looked a little closer...OH, my email address. Shows you how I often get the whole message but miss the little details. Sometimes silly mistakes and others, not. I went to your blog because it mentioned the wpaf in march. Noticed the poetics….
