It has indeed been a long week. But it became less trying over the course, I do think. There is more optimism in me now than when this week began.

I have been thinking about my own poetry, and whether or not I should make the poetry-only entries in my journal public. A part of me wants to share my work, because it means little that I write it if it is not shared, but I wonder if that would compromise me if I wished to publish it later. Although, from what I hear from other poets, publishing poetry is a difficult feat, in any case.
