Will I Ever Make It Home?
I'm so tired and lonely here in Jacksonville. Not so much lonely as I am tired. I'm more than ready for this semester from hell to be over.
However...I did seal the deal with my mind this weekend. Before, I think I was afraid to say it with any truth entailed but now I know there is.
I guess it's not that hard to fall in love, but reciprocated love is another story. Sure we can all fall in love, but is it safe? Is it that secure love we all know and write of? ( Yeah that's what I thought)
The weekend was enjoyable, made it easy for me to realize that this isn't just another dating phase for me. As for Alex...I'm sure it's less important on his end but whose to know but himself...?
Getting published in a book that doesn't offer royalties...good or bad? Well I can have a hard cover book in my hand with a page of my words and signature at the bottom. It's a book with many poets and you buy the book for 30 dollars and it's quite possible that publishers and other important people can find it and say, "hey! that sarah price girl looks like shes got talent, lets contact her for more of her great work" Not only that, but its a HARD COVER BOOK WITH MY POEM IN IT. It's a book...HELLO. It's only my dream...

Hi, I was checking through blogs and just so happened to come across yours. I like it so far. I haven't gotten to read a whole lot, but what I've seen, I've liked. I did want to offer one bit of advice.
The book you are looking to publish in is nice if you want to see your poetry bound in a book to show your friends. "Published" is a very loose interpretation of what companies like that do. They, in all reality, print the books. They never get released to the public, only to those who order it aka the people who have a poem in it. It's pretty dastardly actually.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade at all. If that book is something you'd like to do, by all means, do it. I just wanted to give you a heads up that it really isn't a book that will get into the hands of anyone who is interested in truly publishing you.
I hope that helps. I'll check in at later dates. Like I said, I like your blog, and I'm sure it'll be something I read regularly.
Now, back to updating mine.
Take care.
Mo
