Hmmmmm, what to discuss today? Tell you what, let's leave it up to you!  Instead of me bringing something up to discuss, what do you want to discuss?

Nothing political, nothing overly sexual, so keep it PG  For your own personal safety, I would not discuss what evil  that Valkyrie and Krista have planned for me next . They may include you

Why April?

Why did I choose April to feature the poetry anthology?  I thought it would be a perfect way to feature our site poets during National Poetry Month!  April is the month to celebrate all things poetry; so read, write, and if you're daring, participate in the NaPoWriMo writing challenge!  NaPoWriMo stands for National Poetry Writing Month. It's the sibling to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November.  So what is this challenge I speak of?  Simple.  Write one poem per day (30 total) dur

3 days to spring 🌻 🐦I found out it is the 19th this year instead of the normal 20th due to being a leap year. Makes sense. So what are you planning for the Spring Solstice or if you want to be correct, the Spring Equinox? I was thinking of going outside striping down to some shorts, last year when I said naked, some of you didn't like the idea of that , and frolicking in the fields. Wait, although tomorrow will be a record breaking 18 C (64.4 F), by Monday we go back down to under -10

"Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative."  I would also say you're not here to read quotes, but this is an Ask An Author interview, so I suppose you could quo
