It's been a long day and a long time coming, I'm so anxious right now I don't know what to do. I'm waiting on the printers to holla back at me with a proof or something to say yes it's almost finished. I'm getting so much great feedback from this first chapter it's crazy. I think what I'm going to do is put the first chapter online for everyone because that will save me ink and allow everyone that wants to read it a chance, plus it seems it's easier to get someone to read it online than off line so hmmmm....
oh yea, this is just some random thoughts but you all feel free to jump in anytime to respond to something if you feel the need, this is a new post for me, my online diary and you all can post your own as well if you like, If there is a deman I can make a seperate catagory anyhow it's just a form of release. In any event give me a few minutes fam thanks!

There it is, butterflies and all, can you believe that for everyone that reads my work I get nervous. I don't know why I just do. As though someone else's feelings about my work will make me stop writing when in fact it may only encourage me more, anybody feel me?

I sat at my desk today, desperately wanting to leave, just call it a day, week, month. Put in my notice but then I remembered I've got bills to pay and a book to finance. It was hard but I stayed an extra two hours when i wanted to be home promoting, or out promoting. I'm tired as hell, was up till three in the morning promoting. And i've got dial up right now so I know you can imagine my aggrivation with the slow processing of the internet compared to when I used to have cable internet. That's just a little something for now.

Alright so the guy that was supposed to be doing my cover has finally called me back ready to do the cover and I got the full copy of the book to him. Now he's a really nice guy and all but tell me why I told him way back in may that I wanted him to do my cover and he is just now getting back to me. Never mind i've already send the book off. the first copies are of course my express copies which will have my baby picture on the front, some of you have seen it before the one where I'm scooted down on the floor looking away, I think it's just the cutest pic and the only one I have of me from my youngin years. None the less he is a great artsist and I do want him to do my cover for the books that will be in stores like barnes and nobles etc. Who knows maybe the black and white copies of my book will be a rave hit and I'll keep it like that, anyhow I'm excited that we are a day closer to the project being sent back from the printer, I can hardly wait.
Right now I've been doing mass networking to get the buzz up about the book and I've got my fingers crossed for the two submissions I've sent to be on either Oprah or the new Tyra Banks show. I think I may have to send them an email every day, lol persistance. With all the emails they get I don't want to be lost amongst the whirlwind. Wish me luck!

I have two performances tuesday at tropical soul and then wed at the hyperlink, I'm going to do one million lost, that poem has been burning a whole in my soul. I don't know if I mentioned it but the release date for the book is Oct 3 thru the 17th. they of course couldn't give me a definite date none the less I'm tapping my feet upon the release. My next entire check is going to be put to the side so that when the call me I can tell them to draft my acct and send me my books! the buzz is building stronger and stronger. peace and bless fam!

What am I doing with butterflies in my stomach? tonight I'm going to attempt to read my poetry without my paper, damn I hope I remember But I have to start doing just that because last night at tropical soul I talked to dior of lyric ave who showed interest in me being the highlight of one of their upcoming shows which is a big thing! Book signing and all so I'm really trying to start doing the damn thing. Pray for ya girl because sometimes it's so busy for me I don't have time to memorize a damn thing!

Hey darling how are you, I haven't seen you in just the longest time how are you? I need every prayer I can get but they are working, I have always been able to memorize other peoples songs to sing but never my own because I simply write so much. But I've put some of my poems on cd and been reciting them to my self the past few days so I am really improving. thank you again! Maybe if you are available you can come on down to the show!
