Sorry for the mopey last post. I just wanted to be honest. I sometimes feel like I am a failure in comparison to my other writer friends. I know comparison is a thief of joy, and I should just focus on my own work; but sometimes I can't help but notice. It makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me. But maybe my supporters are just more silent. If you're one of my silent supporters, could you please make some noise? It would be nice to know I'm appreciated.
In other news, I have a new book coming out soon. It's titled letters to an old friend, and it's a book of epistolary poems (poems written in the form of letters for anyone who may not know). I like to challenge myself, and I thought it would be a fun way of writing poetry in a way that's different from most of the other poems I've written.
What makes this a wee bit awkward is the person I wrote this to recently added me on Facebook after we haven't spoken in years. I'm going to let them make the first move, though, because I feel like that's what makes the most sense. After all they added me and not the other way around. So far they haven't said anything to me so I'm in this strange sort of limbo of are we actually friends again in the traditional sense or was it just an add for nostalgia's sake. I guess time will tell.
