Hello, my name is Dan and this is my DT Log.

For a couple of years, I took my focus off writing. I attempted to study business, corporations, marketing. Something, I realized, held me back. The desire was still burning to create, and once I went back through my notes and files, I made a decision to write and market myself again. I intended to read this at a poetry night in San Diego, but I never had the opportunity.

It’s April again. Everything happens in April. My next 20 years of being a writer starts today.   Please enjoy this poem.

I have been preparing a copyright document to protect some of my intellectual properties.  It consists of poems and short stories I have written from 1988 to date.  Once I edit it all together, I am going to publish at least one copy for myself from Lulu.com.

A year ago, I brainstormed titles for this collection.  Here is the list of possible titles:

Radio Silence

Bent and Broken Antennas

No More California Songs

Walden III

End of the Impudence

Abandoned Bridges

The L-Shaped State

Head Mileage

Standing Still Yet Still Moving

A Fertile Drought

Welcome Back the Rain

Intermittant Beeps

Thirty Dollars in Chemicals

First Quarter Score

Fine Print

Touchy Subjects

Forever in Transition

Contact Sheet

I did settle on one of these based on Bronwynn’s suggestion.  Let’s see if you any of you guys can figure it out.
