Weaving a Tale or Two: Mistletoe

(This is from Dan Well's Summer Poetry Challenge.)

For this week I've selected a fun Christmas poem by Countee Cullen. When we used to do The Twelve Days of Christmas (ding dong ditching with our kids), we'd include this poem and give the families some mistletoe.

Under the Mistletoe

~~Countee Cullen

I did not know she’d take it so,

Or else I’d never dared;

Although the bliss

was worth the blow,

I did not know she’d take it so.

She stood beneath the mistletoe

So long I thought she cared;

I did not know she’d take it so,

Or else I’d never dared.

WIP Progress Report.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

My goal this weekend was to get through Part 2 of WIP #1 to which I'm making a plot line change. Making the change (which has the MC doing something very different than in the original plot) was tough. But I really need to get the entire ms ready to submit to my critique group on July 1st. Ugh.

But, I did it! The fewest changes need to be made in Part 3, so I should have time to do a read through before the end of this month. Phew!

Awards

On another note, I'd like to thank two blogging pals for kindly giving awards. I thank them both.
