It’s official, everyone! My book, “Jesus, Adulting, People in Poetry,” has been around a whole year! I published the electronic copy first, then the paperback. There’s no hardcover at this time because Amazon won’t let me be great. I might consider an audio version at some point.
Gratitude is overwhelming me because of all the support I’ve received. It means a lot considering it took a WHOLE lot to get the book published. It’s primarily mental setbacks and some technical goofs, but it’s out there now for the whole world to see (okay, that’s a little nerve recking to say).
I remember I convinced myself to work on my book before heading to one of my jobs. It was about 5 am, and I had a gig at 6 am. It was peacefully quiet and quite dark outside. All you can hear was my typing and clicking as I got the poems together and broke down the book into three parts.
It felt almost natural and therapeutic at the time. I was sitting up on my bed while my lamp’s light brightened that tiny area of my room. I promised myself that I will get the work done while I had a somewhat flexible job. And I was grateful for that.
[UPDATE: 10/15/21 AT 2:17PM] On October 14th at 7 pm EST, I held a Facebook Live to celebrate! Feel free to watch as it starts around the 8 min mark. Join me for an evening of poetry, and I will still answer your questions! So excited hear from you! Here is the photo for you to click if you want to watch on Instagram:
