Notes from One Writer to Another
Read about innovative approaches to literary publishing in this article by Travis Kurowski in Poets and Writers Magazine online.
Poets and Writers, if you don’t know about it, is a terrific resource for literary workers. There are market listings, contest postings, interviews, and much more.
Today’s prompt on the PAD blog is about technological innovation. This is kind of spooky, because while eating breakfast, my husband and I watched a documentary about Howard Hughes, who, like Henry Ford, changed the entire world with his inventions. Before something can be created, someone must realize that it is needed. November is a great month for ideas. What can you come up with? Read today’s works on the the blog (link below) and then add your own. Nothing is too outrageous. I wrote three! Couldn’t help myself. One of them is here below the link.

Education
The teacher monitors
each twenty minutes
the students spend
on scheduled lessons,
each designed to build
on the last and all moving
at different speeds
like cars on a long highway
headed for the same
destination, and then the
machines shut off
and the students
have a discussion
about what it means
to be human in a world
where there is so much
to learn and so much
to love.
