You've no cause for worry; I only write prose. My father writes poetry, and there's only room for one poet in the family. I've been earning a living by writing ever since I realized that it's the only thing I know how to do; I suppose that practice has had some effect, though it certainly hasn't made perfect.

The other parent took another road some time back. No objections from me; it made my life infinitely easier. I am the parent. I do not babysit. People do comment, mostly favorably. They think it's more difficult than it is. Working at home makes a big difference, as does living in a place where I can pay people to do all the housework.

I like it, to tell the truth.

Congratulations on the week at Frost....

Belated congratulations (I've been off for a few days) on being accepted to the Frost week. It should be an extraordinary experience. Do let us know all about it. Do they let you take your laptop and hook up on the net from time to time? (Some writers retreats these days, I understand, are banning internet access except for necessary research on their writing projects. Part of the "retreat" aspect.)
