My Work

Going over some of my work, I have no idea what to think of them. On one hand, I like what I'm reading, but on the other...not quite what I want yet.
I'm submitting some poems to different places tomorrow and more in the coming weeks. I wish there was a pill for motivation, as there is a noticeable difference when I write for the sake of writing and not from inspiration.
Anyways, here's the Kindergarten Kid I used to motivate my students with, I think I need to motivate myself, so I will post it here.

Submitted Lyrics

I have just submitted two of my lyrics for possible publication in an anthology series and I'll be waiting to hear if they deem my work worthy of inclusion. As I mentioned in my first post, this blog is to chronicle my journey on this literary journey. To register my highs and lows. At the moment, I confess that my heart is heavy with self-doubt. I do my best to strive forward doing that which I love- writing- and to cope with other needs that come with life. I know I will succeed in the end, I have no doubt about it, but the beginning can be hard and discouraging. So, now I'll be waiting to see whether these lyrics are accepted (both or just one) and whether the theater picks my play for their upcoming season.
Before I forget, I have started work on my first novel, which is an adaptation of my first play. It is set in Rwanda and is about the possible dangers on one's path of following a dream. Hopefully, we can pick up production again in Atlanta next summer...I know the actors, actresses, and everybody else involved were disappointed with the postponement, but it will come through, I have no doubt.
Well, keep your fingers crossed for me...heck, cross those toes, too, for extra blessing...and send me a little word of encouragement if you visit this site.
I thank you, and wish you all a pleasant night...or morning...or afternoon.
