ut how important it is to my own self
to get those two books out for others to read. I did this first poetry
book and I am so proud of how it turned out. I also already have began
work on the 2nd poetry book. I have named it, started on the cover page,
and Jim is actually designing me a Logo, that will be on my books,
writings etc. from now on. I wanted it on the first book, but time kept
us from really getting it the way we wanted it to look. So, the poetry
book is already set in motion. But, I have a great deal of work ahead of
me in 2013 to have a "rough draft" ready of my "book, book" as I fondly
call it. I do already tenatively have a name for it also, and do have
most of it ready, but pieces of it are scattered all over my computer
and in my journals. So, as I begin to "piece" it together kind of like a
hand made quilt sewing each "sentence" in its special place, picking
out the "material" of words, very carefully hand "stitching" all of
those pieces to make them fit together, then seeing it turn into the
wondrous "quilt top" of the book, ready to put the "backing on and
finished the batting inside" of my life, thoughts and musings, please
keep me in your hearts and thoughts. Keep prodding me along, making me
know that I can do these two things, and encouraging me to keep my two
goals with my eyes and heart set on them!!!! :) I need all of the
support I can get!
I am officially starting this in January, especially the book itself.
The poetry book has already got its beginning and I am working on it as I
do other things. but, I want to wait
until after the busy holidays and enjoy them, before I truly delve into
my book. So, after the first of the year, if there are days that I
don't post here, or it is a day or two before you hear from me, then
don't be alarmed. I am going to muster every ounce of my entity to stay
focused on the end of the race, finishing the book. That in itself will
be a monumental realm for me, that is to stay focused. I tend to be one
of those multi-idea type of people. I want to do about 10 things at
once. I had already mentioned to Jim that I wanted to start a new quilt.
And I may do that. Anyone that is a writer understands your "voice"
some days may not magically appear and help you get going when it comes
to writing. But, I have TOLD my "VOICE" it must get ready to stay ON the
TRACK, seeing the end in sight. So, I wanted to begin to let everyone
know, I "HOPE" I am not going to just magically disappear with illnesses
etc... and that could happen. Anything can happen, and I am willing to
admit, life never holds in one spot very long. Just about the time the
rivers of life seem to be calm and on the straight and narrow. Here
comes the white rapids, and the rocks, and very sharp turns you do not
expect! Thus, those things may happen, and if they did then I maybe
delayed but if all holds as it is now, I hope to keep on my time table.
My cards also came in this week (11/27/20120 an I wanted to share with you what they look like. I had them made up to pass out to those that ask how to find my book. This makes it so easy :)
