[stylist] revising, form, and copyright

[Lynda Lambert]

Hi Ashley,
Yes, most poets do change or tweak things as the years go by.  For the very 
reasons you mentioned here below.

I have been working for about a week on my website. I only revise it about 
once a year, and what happens is that  I forget how to do things and have to 
re-learn them over and over again. I am a slow learner - very slow!  It took 
me several days just to figure out how to put photos on it again, and to 
change photos. I keep making the same errors a zillion times. Finally, I say 
to myself "Look, this isn't working; it has not worked for the past 10 
tries, has it! Now, do something completely different and see where that 
take you!."  Sigh!  I do hope to finish it today and be DONE with it.

The other writing I am doing is a Journal. I have kept journals for many 
years. Right now, I am working my way through a book _Simple Abundance_ and 
it is a very personal book for creative people - full of ideas and ways of 
thinking of things differently.  My journaling right now, is in response to 
the book as I am reading.  Since the book begins with daily pages, in 
January, I am reading it with no regard to the day. When I reach the day 
that it really is, now, then I will take it just one day at a time. So I am 
kind of playing catch-up until then.

Are you reading anything that you are enjoying right now Ashley? Are you 
writing anything you are excited about at the moment?  For me, right now, 
just the journal pages each day.
