Hello everyone,

I just thought I'd share what I've created with anyone who might be interested in poetry and short prose. Years and various emotions went into creating what I've created, and I'm so glad the finish product is here :)

This is brilliant! I've just had a look and a read of 'The Heart is A Solitary Organ', and very impressed I was too. I love the cover you have for the front of the book. Your poem was brimming over with deep thought and emotion, and actually sent a tingle down my spine! You clearly have a great literary talent - keep writing. x

:blush: Thank you for your kind words. I do intend to keep on writing, and I'm currently working on a novel, too.

I do; it's the perfect outlet for thoughts and emotions. I find it much easier to express myself through poetry as it allows for more freedom of form and language. Do you write?

You know I do like to write. I take the odd program or course here or there. Nothing published other than a few newspaper editorials/letters. But I find when I get into a writing groove the ideas and creativity just flow like a river. That's when I find it the most enjoyable. It is therapeutic. It's amazing how much one can tweak and tweak and tweak a piece or story don't you think?

I agree. I find it therapeutic, too. Well done on getting your work published in newspaper editorials; that's a great start! I self-published my work to give myself the pleasure of seeing my poetry and short pieces of prose in a physical format.

That's what I figured. Very smart! One day I'd like to go into it full throttle . But as you know...writing ain't easy.:)

Of course, yes. It's one of the reasons why I prefer poetry to prose. Even though I can spend days, even weeks, editing a poem, it's over and done with more quickly, whereas with prose, there's the continuity of the narrative to bear in mind.

Yes very true, Ana. In prose one can agonize over a word or phrase and finally get it just right then later realize that the original thought was the better wording...maybe:D

Haha, exactly, yes. I wish you luck with publishing, though, if that's what you really want to do. :)

Anna,
Are you likely to publish a mobi version of your book for Kindle?
Looks good

Thank you,
I'm not too sure about Kindle as that option isn't for free, but I'll look into it. Thank you for the interest :)
