Erasure Poems
Have you ever written erasure poems? They are quite fun. Take an article or prose piece you have read. Now put a line through all the words you want to remove. Check out the words you left behind and see if they create an imaginative piece where it stands on its own or write the words left in your own piece.

added a status update: Hi Everyone,
Two things: 1. My fifth book of poetry, Leaves Clapping, was just released on Amazon. Check it out. 2. I just finished reading Jeanne Guy's memoir, You'll Never Find Us. What a gripping book. I read it in two nights. You have to read this. It will change you. Hope you are all reading and writing, if you write. Keep the pen moving, Jan |

“I have never experienced writers block and I've written every day since June 1972. But I have experienced the need to get up and walk around, eat ice cream, let ideas percolate, forget the story for a time, and then return to the page. Even the muse needs a vacation to rest up before she gives more of herself.”

Thanks sweetie. You have always been such a supporter of who I am and I thank you for that. You are so humble and giving. I hope your health has improved with your last surgery. Keep in touch, Jan

Thanks for the friend add, Jan xx looking forward to chatting books with you, and catching your reading updates in my newsfeed!
You have wonderful titles. I'm not usually a mystery reader but I love them on TV. Maybe your books can change my mind huh? My books can be checked out on www.JanMarquart.com. Hope to chat with you again soon.
Hi Jan,Thanks for sending a friend request to this fellow Goodreads author (mystery, in my case)! I hope you will put my books, A Real Basket Case, To Hell in a Handbasket, and the most recently released Deadly Currents, on your to-read list.
