I cannot afford private lessons at this point. I don’t even know if I can budget (time and money-wise) a community college class. This popular (and expensive) Rosetta Stone seems a bit too good to be true. I haven’t spoken with anyone who’s used it successfully.
I just can’t decide if I want my first book to be a collection, like most are, or if I want it to be this book-length poem that I’ve been working on. First books, I think, are SO important. I need the book to be well-distributed and I’d rather wait for a good publisher than just put one out to get it out. I just don’t know if a book-length poem is the best introduction to my work. It also might be a bit precocious. Hmmm…
