(UPDATE: Not quite four and a half hours later, CreateSpace notifies me that my order has already shipped…)
I had to make a couple of minor adjustments first, and wait for the files to go through the review process again, but I have finally ordered proof copies of the next book.
Stay tuned…

I have just uploaded the files for my next collection of poetry, …but for the thoughts running through my mind, to CreateSpace for review and proofing. As I did with Coffee Stains, I am looking to make it available as of January 1st.

The folks who put together the annual Poetry Marathon have just published an anthology of poems from this year’s marathon, The 2016 Poetry Marathon Anthology. My poem ‘The doors on the right will open’, is among those included in the Half-Marathon section.
The book is available now from CreateSpace; it will be available from Amazon within the next few days.

This time I decided not to procrastinate: ‘Dear Wednesday…’, the next volume in the Love Notes to the Days of the Week series, is under way. I have just finished uploading the PDFs to CreateSpace for review.
I sped things up this time by: (a) starting on it now, instead of next February or March; and (b) doing the ol’ copy-and-paste instead of re-typing the entries. The latter step allowed me to catch typos more quickly.
So! I anticipate being able to proof the thing before the weekend is out. Stay tuned…

This Is Fifty-three redux #10
My updated proof from IngramSpark arrived today. My adjustments were largely successful; the reds could be a little bit darker, but that would involve additional expense—and, really, I am just happy that they don’t look orange anymore.
Accordingly, I have enabled the IngramSpark version for distribution. Now I wait for my updated CreateSpace proof…

Today marks the end of the third year of my ‘love notes’ to the days of the week. Yes—what started as an expression of frustration on a Monday became a project that is still going strong. Continue reading
This Is Fifty-three redux #7
My printed proof from IngramSpark arrived today, so I can now compare with the CreateSpace-printed copies I already have.
Now, I’m too tired to take photos right now (insomnia), so I will either add later, or post separately. In the meantime, here is what I am noticing: Continue reading
