There are parts of quilting that lend themselves to listening to audio book listening. Other parts don’t work at all – you come to a half hour or more later having missed a lot of plot.
I’m prepping small bits for applique. Not my normal thing but it’s not hard. (I did listen to part of Seamus Heaney reading his translation of Beowulf and that was very very cool. His translation was great to listen to and oh that voice. It struck me that there’s something about the delivery of an epic poem and I sort of happened on it myself during the Gnomic Saga writing. It just seemed to take a tone all its own AND like Beowulf, I quite innocently included the telling of another epic tale within my tale. That’s how they roll.)
All right, so what does this have to do with a dilemma?
Turns out that I was really looking forward to NaPoWriMo. And April first arrived just as the momentum picked up on my current quilt project. This part of it is not conducive to thinking up poetic thoughts, big or small. Which leaves me sewing frantically and watching the clock each night. It’s not the typing that’s the problem, I could use dictation if I had a few thoughts to string together…
Tomorrow, I try getting my daily bit of poem done earlier.
