Poetry Lately
Well coming on the heels of the past couple of weeks. I've definitely seen a need for a couple of big pushes in my life.
Finishing my Book - "Mohitos and Mint Juleps" is basically done, I just need to kinda "let it go" and get it sent off to iUniverse. I took a bit of break from it before jumping back into the big final push. Now it's time to take care of that. If for no other reason so I can move on with more work.
Work - I took this sweatshop agency production job for good money and benefits (and really needed the job). It's an odd schedule and entails major overtime and "flexible" hours. I thought I'd still be getting in my readings, attending events, but it just never happens now. I've even had a feature I had to cancel an hour before an event because I just couldn't get away from work.
So I'm lookin a more poet-friendly job with regular hours. I miss my poetry buddies and all the events that go on in town. I also miss even my neighborhood association and volunteer meetings, all the stuff that keeps you plugged in.
I have a couple of more books "brewing" after "Mojitos and Mint Juleps". However, my approach will change dramatically. No more of this production scheduling and printer deadlines. I'm just going to sit down write as often as I can and when I just happen to have enough related work for one of these, then off to the printers it goes.
