Books have been ordered. I have asked friends to buy them.
More books have been ordered, because I have more friends than I thought I had.
The first shipment of books is on its way to me.
The second is about to get printed.
I updated my website... the one that has been lying unnoticed for three years as I scraped together my works.
This has been a long time coming. Thirty years, in fact.
I have an old, worn spiral notebook at home. It's thick. Perhaps 400 pages? Since the mid-nineties, this has been my poetry repository. A poem a page, sometimes two. I sometimes go years without putting anything into it. As I am in the habit of writing the year next to each title, I am able to see that some years are kinder to me than others, just as some people are a greater inspiration than others.
2018 has been exceptional.
There are now less than 40 pages left. If I continue writing at the same pace as the past two years, it will be full in 2020. Then I'll have to find another notebook that will stand the test of time that this one has.
