Release Date

I know I have been talking about publishing a book forever now, and I feel like when it finally is out there, anyone who comes across it may be like, "THIS little thing is what Mary has been so into?!" but, hey, at-least it will be MY little thing!!;-) So, it is coming along well. I am thinking about wheather or not to try for a little more material, or just keep it short and simple and get it DONE to just finally be able to say to myself, "I published some of my poems!" Afew of the ones I was going to include I have taken out; some are very personal to me and I am not ready to share them....ones that make me cry remembering why I wrote them, that is my clue I should not have them out there. Instead, even while the chosen are personal to me, they have a bit more of characters to them (Boy From The Darkside, Ode To A Witch, to name two) and are more like itty bitty stories to me.

Aaand, I have a release date idea in mind!!! I would like to have the book available beginning August 22nd. That is the birth date of two of my most favorite writers/poets....I have wanted to sort of keep my influences to myself as I hate labels put on artists and that seems to occur once they share who they admire....so, what am I doing? Announcing my release date be the same as birthdays of writers I love, LOL. I won't say who they are yet, but anyone who knows me may be able to take a guess, especially with one!

Later, Mary
