So I got me a bunch of poetry for my birfday. (Because I'm worth it.) And I picked up the first book toyesterday and just sort of drooled. Because I want that so much, holy crap. A book full of my poetry, I mean. Of course, first I need to write some more stuff that doesn't make me vomit.
I know it's pretty much impossible to get published in the regular way when it comes to poetry (which is why all the utter crap available astounds me). I've been thinking about self-publishing, or at least making my own limited first hardback. For the paperback, hell, I don't know, I could try what Vern did..
So I've been kind of spacing out, thinking about software I can find to do the layout that won't make me barf, and if I'd do a dust jacket, and what kind of picture I'd want on it, and lord knows what else.
Which is all jumping the goddamn gun. What do YOU think?
Yeah, so Richard Christian Matheson's one novel and Susan Minot poetry are this entry's current words:.
