I purchased this book the other day 'Love and Misadventure' by lang leav, because I saw two drawn pictures that caught my eye and I really liked the front cover. I ordered it from online so when I got it I thought it a shame that the picture I liked was across the spine of the book, I felt that a shame really. I also thought there would be more pictures that hadn't been shown but there wasn't, grr lol.
The book is a collection of little poetic words. Whilst im not all that much into poetry as such I did like the melancholy and whimsy aspect of this one.
Initially I thought the book was naff But... then it grew on me and I quite like it now. It also inspired me to jot down three more little poetic words myself as one day I hope to have a book even if I self publish it as people do. Even if my book may not be all that good it will be nice enough to me and maybe close friends will have one just because they knew me, who knows! lol
I have about 15 poems or short words right now but I know I need a good artist to help make the words and book far far better. I think artwork can do so much in picture form to help a book look good. I have one picture that a lovely friend of mine drew and that was the petals frail flower face girl and I want more in that type of style to add to some of my words. I think the main picture in this book is aswell the style I want. I don't know how I go about finding a good artist to help me. I want my lil book to be somewhat melancholy but whimsy.
The thing aswell is im not great with grammar. I cant say I know much about poetry either! But I do think sometimes my rhyming type words are 'something' and 'special'. I guess we all think that when we create something ourselves to an extent. But I really would like some of the poems/songs/words put in a book oneday with some beautiful drawn pictures to help bring the words out.
This was another reason I got this book just to help inspire me with more thoughts and words. And I came up with as I say, three after I read it.
The other thing is I really wouldn't want to make a fool of myself would I and one day do this little book and my poems/songs are terrible really as I know love can be blind LOL. Im not sure any friends would be really honest with me and help me to say 'that one is ok, that one is good, that one is awful love!' lol but I really would need the honesty to help me not make a fool of myself. So would anyone be brave enough to say they are all crappy love! or yeah that one has potential etc? lol
As I say im also well aware im not great with grammar and I have not a clue about poetry really. To me I prefer the rhyming ones! haha but I know its more complex than that. But mine will be just how I write really but obviously I do need some structure! lol
My dream really would be to have a proper book of my life done for all manner of reasons but I cant see that happening sigh. So this little project would be my next best thing.
