#Feature1 So gratifying to find out my local bookstore on the island carries my book and wants to talk about an author event for me next spring!
Thank you, dear Sis Vicky Anupol and Danilo Iyo Lanceta Billanes! 😘😘
Congrats!
Yesss!! 😊👌
#Feature3 MY DOUBLE DELIGHT: Honorable Mention PLUS the only poet featured twice! This is what happens when your works compete with each other: the editors could NOT resist publishing both! I’d long found it a useful maxim to compete only with myself. Why? It saves you “writer envy” (indeed from any kind of envy for others’ success!) and it pushes you to do better than you last did, thus resulting in ever increasing quality of your works. May some of you likewise benefit from this personal wisdom, dear readers and friends! I thank the Universe everyday for blessing my creations...
Victoria Smith, I've just read both of your beautiful poems. It is no wonder...the outcome the publisher decided upon. Solved their dilemna with pure level-headed logic! Are you doing a reading anywhere in Des Moines area in April?
Thank you, Sisters Bing Famoso Tac-an, Karen Ivy DV-Figueroa, and Vicky Anupol 😘😘😘
Congratulations!
