Up early working

I am up working on a book. I have early drafts of poems. They need to tell a story. The book is coming along.

Poem book

Good news! My poem book is scheduled to be published by the end of the month (next week). I am excited! The skinny book will be interesting to read. I hope you enjoy it. A trip to Guyana will likely assist with marketing.

#Christmas

This Christmas, because of my health situation, I did not decorate the Christmas tree or put up Christmas lights. It is an unusual Christmas. I remember the excitement around Christmas in past years. There was an excessive amount of excitement around Christmas when I was a young girl. Growing up in Linden Guyana, it was tradition to clean the house from "top to bottom" and eat special dishes at Christmas. I included this information in my poembook 'Growing Up In Linden, Guyana.'

#Update

I was not working on revising and publishing my school papers for a while. There were papers being reviewed by journals but I stopped submitting new papers/articles. I was in Guyana doing other things. I accomplished some things in Guyana. I actually wrote a poem book for publishing! In May of 2024, I mentioned in this blog that my poem book was accepted for publishing. I expected the book to be published by the end of the year. It is taking longer than expected. A few weeks ago, I selected and signed off on a cover design for the book. Hopefully my poem book will be published by the end of this year.

While in Guyana, I heard back from two journals. However, I was unable to continue the process or complete what was requested because of resource constraints. I guess I missed out on publishing those papers.

Poem Book Will Be Published

Good morning from Linden, Guyana! I am excited today because my book of poems will be published! I received an email from a publisher yesterday. I am so excited! Thank you God! I am not certain how long the process will take. I am ready to begin the process.

Hoping to be published

 I submitted a poem titled 'Seeing' to an online literary journal today. I should hear back from the journal in two weeks.
