"Have You Seen These Characters?" Cool Project Sneak Peek
The ever-talented Jessie Carty , Instructional Designer and Content Developer and fellow writer, has been working her magic on developing an initial idea sparked from Writing It Real: Creating an Online Course for Fun and Profit into an interactive educational activity for writers, teachers, and readers to explore and learn about giving quality writing feedback.
Excited to offer a sneak peek of “Have You Seen These Characters? Taking the Scary Out of Giving Writing Feedback.”
I highly recommend Jessie for taking a concept and developing it into an imaginative and meaningful project that combines her fabulous tech skills with content in an engaging and fun way. Whether you’re in writing, education, or both, if you’re interested in developing an idea in a new direction for online media, Jessie Carty has got so much to offer to make your project shine!

My Poem, "Wobbly," Featured ☕📚
So pleased to announce that my latest poem, “Wobbly,” was featured tonight as part of Lee Ann Berardi Smith’s wonderful series on Facebook of poetry videos during the pandemic, with the hashtag: #poemdemic.
Check out Lee Ann’s amazing video reading (clickety links above), my poem text (below), as well as other excellent videos of Lee Ann sharing verse from many inspired poets.
“Wobbly”
the stack of books
beside the nightstand
beside the bed
got wobbly again
I wouldn’t know why—
I only added three new
hardcovers last week
to the tippy-top
so I sat on the floor
this morning
on the carpet
with the tea stain
my knees tucked in a way
that would let me know
when I stood up
that they loathed to be tucked
that way, and I sorted
and pulled two or three mid-stack
volumes of softcover poetry
to send to an out-of-state poet friend
and a thick historical novel
that had been so-so
but a swap with another friend
and the memoir
about the 1980s painter
to toss into the free
book box by the gift shop
the next time I go past
and the rest,
like elementary-school
friends, I set out
for indeterminate recess
I let them group together
still holding hands
beside the printer
I know, despite my efforts
at any minute,
they might sing that song,
might play that game,
that goes
we all fall down
