Update

To my friends and fellow lovers of writs and writ-makers, I'm still here, alive, and working diligently on my writing project, as well as writing at least two poems a day, and in the processes making submissions to various publications. This journey isn't a simple one, nor should it be, but make no mistake, despite whatever fears I have, experience days when I sigh overwhelmingly with doubt, it is my determination to see what I've started be completed. My mind may become exhausted at times, my hope may be tested, but my credence in what I'm doing is my indelible drive that pushes me onward toward the finish line, no matter how long it takes. This is my update. Thank you for taking the time to read this.  - Jarrod

Attention: To my friends. 10/23/14

Hello, fellow poets and lovers of poetry. I just wanted to stop by to inform you that I'm taking a little hiatus from my weekly duties here on "Jams and Journeys" to concentrate more on completing a personal writing project, hopefully before the year's end, (and I do hope it happens, but if it doesn't, that's fine) and I ask you all to pray, wish me luck, or extend whatever positive notions you see fit. I thank you all. I'll be back.  -Jarrod
