You have done some mind-blowing work here, James. Yes! to all the hours it takes. Writing takes time. It gives time too, but--

It's good to know to acknowledge the pull to move to the next. I hope you will let us know what that is as it comes.

Glad you are here. Your words about art and content resonate, as does your thoughtful interpretation of others' words on this. Always thoughtful--I have so appreciated that in your work.

I've been impressed by your ability to sustain such high standards and output since the beginning. And from your numbers, this is a good reminder (not that all writers need one, but anyway) that it takes a LOT OF HOURS to shape the thing that you want. Thank you, and thank you for your sonnet about Kara. I continue to give it as a gift to friends with the accompanying art.

You get my attention, James. Taking a step forward always involves lifting both feet. I laud your commitment and courage, both in creating the Sonnet Series, and in knowing how it served you. Well done!

I am late to this party, but still in awe of all you've accomplished. I love hearing about the length of time it takes to get a poem down and how that has shifted through the life of the project.
