for the novel and in my zen manner I don’t even care. I’ll rewrite this year, edit the draft 0 to draft 1 and 2.
Meanwhile I have a book of sixty-something poems – a real beauty. I can share those poems with the world, soon.
Just do it! There is power in the tangible product! Better to share something less than perfect than to keep it only for you. Your work can INSPIRE!!
I’ve shared some online, by blog, facebook, and email to friends. I’m talking to a publisher now. Nearly double the number of poems. I’m proud of myself for this.
to have met a fabulous publisher (self-publishing, poetry)
Am I lucky?
The first poetry collection is due out in weeks. I have two more that are more-or-less finished, to be published next year, and also ready to start a fourth, fifth, sixth? White, Fear and Loathing, and Quantum are the next bunch. The first three are titled Comrade, Yalla! Let’s Go, and Big Girl respectively.
As for the novel…hmmm, I have a lot on my plate now. It is always on my mind, and in fact a lot that I’ve experienced recently I’ve considered essential “research” for the book. As you know it’s been outlined for over a year-and-a-half now, but it may be that long before I go back to seriously write and finish it. I think it’s to be titled Jericho’s Quarks. Not to be confused with Gravity’s Rainbow. There’s a physicist in it. Three Quarks for Muster Mark indeed. It has a few mums. Sibling dynamics. ETC. Peace.
