Started a New Limerick Book Manuscript

I started a new limerick book manuscript. Have written two poems so far. I hope that I will be inspired to write more limericks soon and that this manuscript will continue to evolve into a book. Once done, this will be my second limerick book so far. 

Perhaps I shouldn't just wait for inspiration to hit me but should just open up the Word doc and write. Inspiration can come when you set out to write or when you open up that blank page. Sometimes waiting for inspiration to hit you on its own can mean not writing anything for a long time. And I do not want that to happen.

I Finally Published My Limerick Book Scenes from a Quirky Life

Yesterday, I finally published my limerick book Scenes from a Quirky Life.

My next step is to get distribution for the book so it becomes available online on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online retailers.

I also have to order a proof copy of the book before I can approve the book for distribution.

Hopefully, there will not be anything in need of fixing and I will be good to go.

But if I do find something in need of fixing, I will have to republish the book and buy another proof copy before I will be able to approve the book.

Fingers crossed that will not happen!

Twelve Limericks Left to Write...

I have twelve limericks left to write for my first limerick book Scenes from a Quirky Life. I am not really feeling inspired right now. Maybe just opening the manuscript and trying to write one will bring forth the inspiration. I don't know. But I can't seem to bring myself to do that.

I could've had them written already and started on the editing process. But it is just not happening. Since there is no publication deadline, at least not officially as I am publishing the book myself, it is okay I guess that it is at a standstill right now. It will happen when it will happen...

Still, I have to try and push myself to do it. I don't want this hanging over my head... I want the book done and published soon. 

Will Be Publishing My First Limerick Book

Thanks to my friend Regis Auffray who got me into limericks I will be publishing my first ever limerick book. The title will be Scenes from a Quirky Life. My book will have four limericks per page and will be around 50 pages. That makes for about 160 limericks. Not bad for a first limerick book in my opinion. 

I have less than 36 limericks left to write for the book and then it's on to proofing and editing. Once this book is published, which I am very excited about, I will have a total of twelve published books under my belt, in addition to the two poetry anthologies I published.

I don't know yet when I will publish this book but I hope to get it out this year.
