July... And Everything After

Just thought I'd give ya an update since everybody has been asking me about this lately. Yes, I'm still writing more poetry for the book. I want around 100 poems before I call it good, which means I'll have to write 150 or so to get the ones I really like out, so it might be a bit. I think I'm around 60 now, and there are already a few I don't like.

I'm looking at a lulu.com to do the publishing, as they do on-demand printing (only print what is ordered, no minimum order), and I don't know the demand for it. I'll be in good company: there are over 3000 books of poetry on there! Y'all gotta buy lots of copies if it goes through, so I get good publicity. :-D

Also working on designing a cover for it, getting a basic structure of all the poetry (don't want it to be just random), editing old works, writing writing writing new stuff, and generally keeping myself busy. I think I finally decided on the title (July... and Everything After) but that might change before I'm done too.

I'll let ya know when/if it ever gets done. Until then, keep reading, keep writing me, and keep that great poetry coming out (it inspires me to do more)!
