Message from PJ:
"Whew! What a year! Very loud on the physical plane, very quiet on the spiritual one, where all creativity springs from. I won't go into particulars, but two surgeries later and I'm finally on the mend. I "hear" poetry in my head once in awhile and jot what I hear down, but it's not very good. It gives me faith, though, that my creativity is just dormant for now, while I focus on healing. That said, I've been submitting my stuff everywhere and hope to cull a few credits, or at least one or two. Editors are tough nuts. There is so much work out there. I had one day of sifting through incoming subs and it was very eye-opening. Alas, I hope to maintain and even expand this website this year, so keep an eye out."
