I never fight the desire to write, but when the ink well is dry I just sit tight until I have the will to write.

Dear Jan, this is so well written and expressed on losing muse, some days i feel the same way, so it resonates “ I’m upset with my wayward muse She’s been cruising, I thought she’d drowned ” im glad you found your muse. And delivered a triolet so seamlessly woven. Pleasure reading. Sending you light always

I have kept an eye on soup but not been active for a while, I think my muse wanted a total break from poop poetry lol:-) the second book is selling well I've just taken delivery of a box of 20 but some were in awful condition as it wasn't well packaged by Amazon . hugs Jan xx

I think my muse went on a well earned break - self publishing 2 books in just less than a year has been an amazing achievement for me John. Not sure i will post any more poop poems but i will never say never, thanks for all your support it really means so much to me John:-) hugs Jan xx
