Another month! My list of writing accomplishments for the month of November:
– I wrote 33 poems in 30 days for the 2010 Poetic Asides November PAD Chapbook Challenge. I extended my repertoire, by trying new poetic forms, including a rondeau, triolets, a pantoum, skeltonic verse, a shadorma, a hay(na)ku, bell curve Fibonacci, and a blitz poem.
– Took 1st place in the November 2010 Shiki Kukai, free format section, with my “garden spider” haiku.
– Took 4th place in the November 2010 Shiki Kukai, kigo section, with my “departing year” haiku.
– Submitted three haiku to the November/December Sketchbook “first snow” haiku thread (#1, #20 and #22).
– Took part in the 19th Caribbean Kigo Kukai , with my “December again…” haiku.
– Wrote “Under the Harvest Moon” and “Passing Through” to Big Tent Poetry weekly prompts.
– Had two Chicken Soup for the Soul stories make it to the finalist round. “Expert Advice” will appear in Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms in March 2011, and “Taken by Storm” will appear in Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat’s Life in April 2011.
– One of my haiku was accepted to the winter issue of Frogpond.
– Did a guest post about Kukai for my haiku buddy Kirsten Cliff’s wonderful Swimming in Lines of Haiku blog.
– Put lots more into the pipeline.
Time to edit my PAD poems for the chapbook challenge!

Wow! You have been busy. Congratulations on all your accepted work. It’s great to hear when writers do well.
Thanks. I am fortunate to have tapped into so many wonderful online poetry communities this year, that really give me the motivation to keep on with the writing!
