Custom Poetry Giveaway
« on: August 06, 2010, 08:45:24 AM »
Not mine, but a friend of mine who's a published children's author (Andrew & Kim, she's the one you met) and who has a poem hanging in the JFK museum in Hyannis, MA, is giving away a custom poem.  This is her very first contest, so I'd love to see her get a ton of entries.

Details here:  http://dksverse.blogspot.com/2010/08/win-free-poem.html?spref=fb

She did custom poems for my two nephews, using their first names.  You can see one of them here:  http://reefbotanicals.blogspot.com/2010/07/blogs-i-follow-melinda-lancaster-author.html

She makes a living writing poetry?? No way, I'm in the wrong field! People will actually pay to have poetry written? Wow, this is so amazing to me. I need to look into this more. :o

She's trying to!  Between that and her book deal (I believe she's up to 5 children's books now guaranteed by her publisher), she's really trying to write for a living.  She's talented enough that I think she should.

Holy macaroni, I just can't get over it. Lol I keep telling myself I need to write for a living, but I hate my stories. Poetry, on the other hand, I've no problem writing. Hmmm!

That's cool she got a book deal. :D If she's guaranteed 5 books then they trust that she has the talent.
