Duh... I wasn't even thinking...

My wife inadvertently gave me a great idea today when she mentioned that her boss had read the preview poetry online and found it amusing. Her remark was “you should give him your old book so he can see all of your old stuff and compare it…” and I said, “yeah that sounds good. I might just do that. Then…

DUH!

I have a whole bunch of my old stuff just sitting around from its previous publishing at Capital University. I should just give all of that stuff away first. I’m telling you… this is why I got married in the first place. I just don’t get these ideas on my own.

SO!

If you want one of my old books (sans prix/ gratis) just leave me a note here and I’ll bring one with me on Sunday or if you are in my home group on Wednesday. I warn you… the old stuff is sketchy in places, and I included some of it in the new feature (but only the stuff I really liked, some of the old stuff just frightens and embarrasses me)

I kind of went for a Dr. Seuss-y vibe along with the other Ogden Nash type stuff. It takes a lot of patience for some of the poetry, Amanda can attest to that, sometimes I didn’t know where to pull the plug, and some of the stuff I wrote is just weird.

The only real bonus of the old book is that it has Pictures. All mine. None are color except for the front cover. But they are all outline drawings, so they make great coloring books for kids. I included instructions on the inside that the book was not a museum piece or a coffee table book. It should be tested for flight, drawn on, taken on high seas adventures, used to level the microwave, etc…

Okay, that’s about it. Let me know.

Shameless self promotion #2 over.

A+ (although the old book gets a C+)
