Today was... What a day! I am getting the materials ready to submit to the publishing company, doing the author questionnaire today. While I was taking a break from the "writing" thing, I decided to organize my files in my documents. When I was finished, I was happy that I have every nice and neat in my documents. I wanted to take another look at the author questionnaire, but I couldn't find it in my computer anywhere!! I looked in the recycling bin, it wasn't there either! I found the blank form, and yes, I have to do it all over again. What fun that was.
The author questionnaire is a form where the author answers: legal name, pen name, book title, book genre, address, social security number, phone number.... that type of stuff. Which none of that was any trouble to do over. But also on the questionnaire is where the author writes what to put on the back of the book, the synopsis and author biography - with word limits. That part is what I didn't want to do over again, because I was pleased with what I had written already.
Also no book today :( I am calling tomorrow to hopefully find out if it was shipped and/or when it was shipped. I am thinking it may have gotten lost somewhere in the mail or perhaps somebody stole it. Anything is possible. I am so anxious to see my first book of poems!
Cover art is going well, Mother has it almost ready. When she completes the art, I will submit it all to the publishing company. So exciting!
I am going to review Accidentally Awake: Loneliness tonight. I have a few ideas and I'm going to write those down right now before I forgot anything :)
Yay! Hooray! Finally, a title for the book of poems is finally, well...final.
Deep Emotions of Reality
is the title of fifty-one poems, modern-day poems. Each poem will touch many emotions with every word that is read.
Mother has been busy working on the cover art and we are excited that all is going well. I am still waiting for my copy of From Inspirational Thoughts to the Heart's Struggles. I hope it comes soon and did not get lost in the mail.
Friday, I had to change the title of my new book of poems from My Thoughts, My Feelings to Emotional Thoughts, Feelings, and Secrets. I am reviewing each poem word by word to ensure all is correctly written. Also have the synopsis, biography, author photograph, final manuscript, and cover art to submit soon.
Mother is doing the cover art design.
We have a short deadline to do all that is requested.
