I've also wondered about writers who stop writing and move into other forms of art. Some (like me) I think lack the stamina and stomach for what the publishing industry has become, but I also wonder how many others turn to painting and such.

Thanks, Susan. The publishing industry has certainly become a daunting obstacle course. I think your observation is very interesting. There's a certain creative drive in artists that can take on various forms. I'm impressed if someone can go from shaping words to shaping images on a canvas because they're such different skills.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness

"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
