DIRECTIONS

Finally finished the bio.

::: deep exhale :::

It's funny to see how much you've really done over the years; things you never think to give yourself credit for. Anyhow, three friends and I will be on Philadelphia radio next week reading our poetry and talking about writing and literature. We leave early Sunday morning and will be back late afternoon. Looking forward to a day away with the sisterpoets. Killed two birds with one stone -- bio for the radio host and bio for my book.

Pulled up the state's business registration page and downloaded the trade name registration form. As soon as I affix a cheque for $25 I will be the owner of my own publishing company. Wow.

Have the pleasure of hosting poetry again next week, at which time we'll be featuring a guest poet by the name of John Milton Wesley. Google him and you'll find he is Fannie Lou Hamer's godson and also knew Emmitt Till personally. A poet and committed writer, I'm excited he'll be coming to poetry next week.

Flying through Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain and definately agree with the part about "like energies." Realizing that I'd wanted this for so long -- all of it -- and here it is, manifesting slowly but surely. In the last month, my mentor has introduced me to three fabulous people -- all committed writers -- something I've been yearning for, for so long. Our energies are blending very nicely and I am very hopeful for the development of meaningful relationships. (Two of the three are also heading to Philly for the radio show).

Looking at both of the book jackets, I couldn't make up my mind. Spouse said one looked too much like a Hallmark card and favored the other. Hmmm. Will have to think about that.
Need to work on the poems as they are in the layout, the line breaks are not right and also need to finish up my introduction. Another published sisterfriend emailed me a blurb for my back cover (big smile) and I'll need to forward that on to the layout artist too. So much to do, but so good.

And I am so very much thinking about her

and when she was doing the same thing at her very own Wild Trees Press.
Right now, I'm just feeling real good. Real, real good.

Be Good,
