What's up Wednesday: Nov Ed

Hello readers, 


WHAT I'M READING
I haven't read much or anything recently. 

WHAT I'M WRITING 
I have been writing, though, since it's NaNoWriMo. I'm at a grand total of 26k! I'm not close to 50k, but this is my personal best as I look back at my other attempts. 

WHAT INSPIRES ME RIGHT NOW
working on new projects, an upcoming camp and that the holidays are coming. Soon it'll be the new year! 

WHAT ELSE I'VE BEEN UP TO
This is exciting!!! My upcoming publication is my second one and the first that's going to be in paperback, woohoo!! I just need to edit and format it and wait for the cover designer to finish the cover. As you wait for the cover reveal and other fun stuff you can add to Goodreads - (link in book page)

You can get a peak of what it's going to be like here on my blog and in my first published book, A TO Z POETRY (link in book page)

Enjoy and thank you,

Congratulations on your personal best of 26K. I didn't even attempt NaNo so your 26K sounds amazing! Congratulations on your upcoming publication, too!

Yay for a personal best! :) I can imagine that NaNoWriMo might be a little tough for a poet... Good on you for keeping at it!

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
