ART 58 update update

The IngramSpark PDF proof for …but for the thoughts running through my mind was ready for review much sooner than expected. I have approved it, which means it should be showing up in a few extra places online (Barnes & Noble comes to mind), and, as I mentioned earlier, it should also soon be available to order through your favorite local book store, should you be so inclined. (That ISBN, again, is 978-0-9988781-0-2.)

Note: The book may disappear from Amazon for a bit, but should be back once the listing for the Ingram-distributed version kicks in.

ART 58 update

A brief update on …but for the thoughts running through my mind. Now that I have a fresh batch of ISBNs, I am taking advantage of IngramSpark’s Indie Fringe promotion to properly set up the book with them under my own ISBN (978-0-9988781-0-2). I anticipate being able to approve the PDF proof by tomorrow, which means that you will soon have the option to order the book through your favorite local book store…

ART 65 #3

I have now lost count of my drafts of This Is Not the Book That Will Save Your Life.

I am leaving up the draft I posted the link to a couple of days ago, but I have already made a couple of changes—replaced one or two poems, added another one, fixed a typo.

In the meantime, I am waiting to see if Bowker runs another special on ISBN bundles. I wanted to take advantage of their last one (on the 100 ISBN bundle), but then there was that whole gotta pay the rent sort of thing. So here’s hoping for one of their discounts on the bundle of 10 ISBNs…

Oh, the irony! (Part 2)

And today I learned that three of my photographs will also be included in the 2017 edition of Spindrift, the art and literary journal published by Shoreline Community College. That’s welcome news after a weekend of tax problems and website snafus. Yeah…

National Poetry Writing Month begins one week from today

It is that time of year again: National Poetry Writing Month (a/k/a NaPoWriMo, after National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo) begins April 1st. Once again, I plan to do the poem-a-day challenge; again I will use the napowrimo.net prompts, whether I like them or not.

To sign up and participate, or just to follow along: http://www.napowrimo.net/

Oh, the irony!

Yeah, so I post my response to one journal’s opinion about publication indicating that you take your work seriously, and five minutes later, I receive notification that three of my poems will be published in the 2017 edition of Spindrift, the art and literary journal published by Shoreline Community College. If previous publication schedules hold, it should be available in June. Yeah…
