It helps that they make it easy to import all my journal entries from here, and even – they say – my friends from here (as 'open ID'). Not sure how the latter will work, but we'll see. For the moment I'll stay here too, at least until all that is organised. And perhaps will keep my account here just to read journals I like that aren't moving, but will not post any more journal entries of my own here. My dreamwidth journal is at https://snakypoet.dreamwidth.org/
What do you reckon, folks? Are you all packing up and going now, or staying on regardless?
As I am so inactive here these days, it seems like the push I need to discontinue entirely. But then I think of people whose journals I like (on the rare occasions I come and read them, that is!).
Are you still going to be here if I do decide to stay?

I am an introvert. I am quite happy with hours of my own company, and NEED great gobs of solitude and reflection every day or I get frazzled and cranky. I was a shy, withdrawn child with just a few close friends. As an adult, I learned to look outwards as well, and to feel self-confident — but I am still hopeless at small talk, prefer email or at least texting to phone calls, keep my facebook chat switched off, and usually wriggle out of attending parties.
I can initiate conversations if I have something important to say (like, 'Can you tell me the way to the "Ladies"?') but it doesn't come easily.

Every year I participate in the Poem A Day Challenge at Poetic Asides, a section of Writer's Digest. (Some aspects of National Poetry Month in the USA spread to other countries.) It involves me in lots of late nights and first drafts, and every year I think I'd be insane to take it on, but every year (so far) I do.
So that's why I have been pretty much absent from here. All the writing energy has gone there. If you're on facebook you probably know that, as I've posted links to the poems from time to time. Otherwise, here is a link which gives you all 30. (No, you don't have to read them all at once! Or even at all ... though of course I'd like it if you did.)

I'm blessed! Read more ....
We are having a summer day, at last! My internal weather has shifted as well. I sit in the warmth of our small, enclosed, green back yard which I love, and which he did too; and my heart swells with all the richness and beauty of our lives together, which brought me here. I feel it expanding in my breast with those many memories — years of memories which go much farther back than his final decline. I would not change places with anyone.
