Split Personality
Okay - I'm going to come clean. Sometimes I write things other than the chatty Momi blogs that are the core of the quiltnmomi site. If you've been a long time reader you know this because I have from time to time posted short fiction or poetry here. But when I say - "time to time" - I mean maybe a half dozen times over the past 3.5 years. (see I REALLY like statistics)
I'm opening a new site for poetry and fiction.
I want to keep that site separate from here for a long list of reasons. Primarily because what I post there will be poetry and FICTION. I don't want people who read those things confused about who I am or what I'm talking about. And although I know from past experience that it's pretty hard to convince people, I want at least enough separation that people don't automatically assume that anything I write is autobiographical. Very very little of the stuff I "make up" has any bearing on my real life. Which, if you read it, you'll know.
Plus, I know that poetry isn't everyone's cup of tea and I'm vain about the number of people subscribed to this site. I don't want to see you leaving in vast droves because I post bad poetry. I'm not abandoning quiltnmomi. This site is a big part of who I am and I'm not sure how healthy I could be without this place to pour out my life and receive your encouragement to go on. So if you come here because you like to hear about me, about my kids, about the books I'm reading (and I just read another that bears a LOT of thinking about, I'll have to tell you about that later) I'm not going anywhere.
If you are interested in poetry, fiction, and more creative experiments. Then feel free to come on over.
PS - I am feeling much better. Thank you for your kind wishes! I'm still very sore from the tummy trouble, but I'm not feverish, I'm not shivering under blankets. I'm hoping that maybe sometime in the next several days I can slip out with Michael and he'll have his date. I used the suggestion that you gave me to give him a literal raincheck. He and I both loved that. Thank you.

I like that title....split personality. Also....great name for your new creative site.
I'll be there with bells on. I know from experience that you're a wonderful writer... just the fact you never use my suggestions speaks volumes to the quality of your work!
Another one?

Great; I'm glad you're better.
