Thinking out loud... @brianmostcertainlymay - Tumblr Blog

My life offline was thrown for a loop in March, so I'm a few days behind my March Editing Madness wrap up, and the beginning of (I'm an) April Fool for Editing. Yeah, I know it's bad. ;- p

There were days when I couldn't seem to do anything, and there were days where I opened my project to give my brain something else to focus on. Anyway. To finish up March:

“Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you’re working. Tell them it’s research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone.”

— Jennifer Weiner (b. 28 March 1970)

Frost’s “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” published on this date

On this day (7 March) in 1923, The New Republic published Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
