I see nothing wrong with tooting your own horn once in awhile. pat yourself on the back. high-five yourself. give yourself kudos.
Because we all need a cheerleader now and then, and we shouldn't always have to rely on others to BE that cheerleader - though I will admit that there is a rather giddy feeling that explodes out of my skin when someone I love tells me I'm awesome!
So, why am I feeling particularly awesome today?
Because, dear friends and readers, I have almost COMPLETELY completed the November PAD (Poem a Day) challenge with Robert Lee Brewer!
I have participated in this challenge (and the April PAD challenge) for the past several years, and though I usually come out at the end of the month with about 15-20 new poems, I've never completed a challenge where I've written a piece for every prompt.
and I am VERY close to doing just that!
I currently have 26 new poems written - plus a few non-prompt poems I've written this month - and let me tell you, this feels great!
So, I'm going to start compiling a second collection and start looking to publish. I mean, why not? Three Thousand Doors needs a follow-up, right? (my Mama likes to joke and tell me my next collection should carry the title "Three Thousand MORE doors." ~shakes head~)
Prompt #83: I'm going to work on compiling another poetry collection. What are you gonna do?

Woo-hoo! Congratulations, darlin'! Me? I'm going to finish up this grant application and then continue working on my own book, my first full-length collection.
