Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

>Phooey. Just realized I went over the line count by two.

Note to self: next time you enter a contest on an agent blog of all places, read the rules twice. Thanks.

My apologies, good lady.

>The news is a buzz with war and recession.
Anxiety and fear I now have in possession.

And you say I can live a fearless life?
Max Lucado go fly a kite.

No need to cry or be forlorn
Might as well divert my attention
I am in need of Intervention

>Havah

mother who passes down to me
insistent craving for forbidden fruit
painful loneliness of exile
(from both home and truest self)
pass down to me also
hope
that redemption will come

>(Your Life as Story)

In honest moments
I know: I write no story
ever but my own

>What if a pistol steers toward my face?
What if that truck jumps the curb?
Would I jump left? Right? On top of it?
What if that space heater tips over and
Sets my living room on fire?
Why do I react with fear?
Is fear my default reaction to
An uncontrollable situation?
Why do I turn to fear?
Why can’t I be fearless?

>It is with Sense and Sensibility
That I write with all agility.

I'd hie myself off to Northanger Abbey,
But I don't think I could get there by hiring a cabbie.

So I will travel to Mansfield Park,
Where I hope to arrive long before dark.

Emma and I have not a bit of Pride and Prejudice'
But we would like to be met there with a kiss.

Anne from Persuasion will travel along,
We'll each find our prince and burst into song.

So, pray don't tell me this won't have a happy ending,
Or this dreadful poem I wouldn't be sending!

>"Jane Austen Has Ruined My Life"

In studying the stack of classics on my night table—
Books with romantic heroes such as the honorable Edward Farris,
Chivalrous Mr. Knightley, and Mr. Darcy (the bare-chested Colin Firth version)—
It is clear that I have lost myself in Jane Austen once again.

Winter comes, the persistent cold seeps in,
And I lounge in sweatsuits and thick, cotton socks,
Fully absorbed in the pages of "Emma" or "Persuasion"
Again and again.

Someone might admonish me,
“Jane Austen has ruined your life!”
But I would only murmur slightly,
Turning another page of "Pride and Prejudice"
Before offering a reply.
