Update On My Book

Dear Vox Friends and Neighbors.

Most of the poems for the manuscript are completed thanks to the editorial advice I have received from many of you.  The praise, the nudges and the keen eyes of fellow artists keep me working and keep me honest.

I have decided to take my own photographs for the book.  This will take a very long time, since I still have so much to learn.  I do feel that this is the truest creative choice for me. 

I will be posting pictures in series.  Please tell me which ones work and which ones fall flat.  I'm done with the writing for now, so be prepared for a barrage of images with an occasional excerpt from another author.

Thank you all and I continue to be inspired by the writing and the art in my hood.

They all seem to suck so bad. I hope I get better.

You have a manuscript! Bra Vo!
Is it not the one mentioned before, about fairy tales?

Yes, it's the same one. I've been whittling down and perfecting the poems, which are still not perfect, but I need to start on the photos now.

Thanks. It was about time in my mildly successful poetry career that I created a book, even if I just give it to friends.

Happy New Year to you too, writebrained. I ate three bowls of curried black-eyed peas for good luck. Hope it works!
