On my last blog I asked for input regarding what to write about so that I can please or at least interest the masses. The response have been staggering. NONE...well except the one from Facebook... you know who you are Big D. So, I guess I am simply talking to myself with a few stop-on-by blog enthusiasts who read me now and then. I will continue what I have done this entire time and that is please myself with my writing. That seems to work, well for me anyway.
I am a writer not only of this blog but of books. I have finished my second poetry book Veneficus and got my proof copy yesterday. I am so excited. It looks great and I have hardly any changes to be made which means that I will be able to have it available for sale in the near future. Of course I shared the book with my sister who was here this weekend visiting. She laughed because there is a poem that was inspired by her from one of her many visits. It seems my sister did something to her feet awhile back and caused herself to have a black toe. Ewww is right it was down right nasty but it did inspire my poem Ode to the Black Toe which has been dedicated to her in my new book.
Now that this poetry book is done I was asked what my next project will be. It's a book that has taken me more than twenty years to write, the title is The Great Chase. I have about ten chapters in and find it difficult to get all of the information down on paper. My thoughts and ideas come flooding in and my poor fingers just cannot keep up. I am a decent typist but when it comes to writing a book it's a little different than simply typing a letter or taking dictation. You can read a sample of the book on my website at www.jennipherdallas.com.
I am looking forward to writing a novel verses poetry only because it will be something new. I am on the hunt for a good editor and hope to finish this long awaited novel (well I've waited to be done for a long time) by the end of this year. So those of you who are interested, visit my website.
Until next time...
