Mid-Week Notes

Three quick things:

1. Even while traveling and participating in fellowships, I am continuing to write poetry, one poem at a time. This is part of a new contemporary YA work in progress. At some point, I really need to focus on its characterization and plot. I’ve been working on this since January. It is slow but progressing work. My question for you: Are you putting off working on a bigger project because you want space and time? Consider breaking it down into small components that you can tackle.
2. Please weigh in through Comments whether you think we need more children’s Holocaust books. If you think we do, what would you like to see?
3. Last week I said I was setting aside an evening to watch Claude Lanzmann’s iconic movie Shoah. Well, it turned out the version I have is nine hours and I barely made a dent.

That’s it for this week. Have a good one.
