I wrote 123 poems in 2001, my second-highest yearly total (the highest was over 221, a year earlier.)

Note: The first six months of this year averaged 13.5 poems per month, while the last six months averaged only 6.83 per month. It is clear I was slowing. It was October 2001 when I was hired as a newspaper writer/reporter and began typing and talking all day, something I’m convinced had something to do with my decreased poetry output. Not to mention the lack of free time. However, I suspect that a huge reason is that much of my demons had been exorcised already.
