This is my first marathon. I&#8217;ll be doing the half marathon because I&#8217;m a mother to an energetic 1 1\/2 year old, and my sanity depends on having SOME sleep. My love for words started when I was just a wee-one and has carried over into my adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>In poetry, I&#8217;m still working on my form and fine-tuning my voice so this will be an exciting challenge and exercise.\u00a0I&#8217;ve self-published two poetry books and one children&#8217;s book. My writing journey has been challenging and trying, at times. It isn&#8217;t always easy pursuing your passion. I&#8217;m grateful for groups like these where there is support and encouragement to keep going among like-minded peers.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be visiting my parents tomorrow (an hour and a half drive) and we don&#8217;t get to visit very often, so some of my poems may be submitted late so we can spend some quality time. I agreed to this forgetting that we had planned this visit. But, I&#8217;m determined to make it work. Besides, I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be preoccupied with my daughter (their grand baby) anyway!<\/p>\n<p>Happy writing tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, my name is\u00a0Fionna.
