Andrew's View of the Week

I’ve been working hard on my poetry collection for the book of Matthew.  This week I wrote a whole line.  Here, I’ll share it with you:  “It has been said.”

Impactful, I know.  Now to work on the second line – I plan twelve lines in the poem and hope to finish it by April, which puts me on track for a 2023 release date for the collection!

Yesterday I had a nice phone call with a local company that will help me self-publish my poetry collection, There was a time.  This is my collection of poems about having prostate cancer and supporting my mother as she died from pancreatic cancer.  I could do the work directly with Amazon, but honestly, I just don’t have the time.  This company will handle most of the details and do a tiny bit of marketing for a fee – a price that is reasonable.  So I’ll review the contract and decide this week.  I know other people who’ve used this company so I am somewhat confident that I’ll get what I pay for.  More on this in a few weeks.

That’s the progress this week.  Next week I hope to report that I’ve submitted an application or two for a summer poetry workshop/master class.

If you need me – I’m at my desk,

Andrew
