Pooh is about to take up a new challenge. Starting August first, I will join a 30 day challenge of responding to daily prompts for journalling. Oh, I already keep a random journal of 'a number of things' (thank you Robert), but this will be a concerted effort to make, share, and celebrate journal writing with other journalers around the world.
Please see the description of the challenge at:

and consider joining us!
In defense of The Last Page's recent hiatus, friends and readers (and I hope you are both), physical therapy can be a full time job. After the April poetry challenge, The Last Page took a break while I ramped up physical therapy for both shoulder (broken at the end of February) and knee (replaced last September). Renewed activity periodically provokes bursitis, requiring its own stretching and resting, on the opposite side. I can't imagine how enervating it can be to rebuild strength and mobility after more serious injuries/surgeries. Rest (read: naps) took priority over writing since May, but, lordwilling, and with the encouragement of writing peers, I'm baaaackkk...
Meanwhile, my writing goal will be editing poems to submit to the League of Minnesota Poets'
annual contest, and begin work on a new chapbook, as well as attend writing practice, critique sessions, and readings with other poets and writers. We give each other new energy to go back and sit alone at our desks...and WRITE!.
