Poetry Project Poll

[blythe025]

So, as a form of prastination (one of many), I've been toying with various ideas for poetry projects* -- some I've been thinking about for a while now, some are brand new.

The newest idea, and one that could be done both fairly cheaply and easily (uh huh), is creating one or more pocket/mini chapbooks (thank you Poets & Writers). They would be 4.25

Well, you sound a lot like me in my various stages of poetry/art projects. lol But I do admire that you have fiction on the side

Woah, so I guess you responded waaaaaaay back when and I totally missed it.

This is all great advice.

The Kickstarter project would be for unwritten poetry and would require me to write a number of new poems, rather than compiling existing poems. It was the idea of having to write a ton of new poems that made the idea overwhelming.

I already have enough poems, I believe, to publish a 35-50 page collection of poetry. What I really want to do is submit to publishers and try to get professionally published, even though self publishing does have its appeal. I just need to take the time and organize the submission.

Part of the problem has been procrastination in terms of getting the data on my old computer transferred to my new one, which is really important since I have a lot of writing trapped on that old computer.
