While I believe to have plenty of material to write about today, the reason I haven't been writing as much in the past week is that I've been working on books - proofreading and editing to be more specific. While I won't be releasing any new books before the new year, I've been hard at work on making sure more will be released in the first quarter of next year. For the time being, I've proofread, edited, and condensed my coming political satire(s - I'm undecided if I'll fit it all into one volume or split them up into two). I hope to make the decision on whether to form the satire(s) into one or two volumes before the holidays and organize them accordingly. After the new year, I'll then get busy researching, proofreading (again), and finalizing them. I'm currently in the process of finishing the first round of proofreading, editing, and condensing of two comedic works (one censored and one uncensored version of a book - with some notable differences in material at times). I'll likely finish that step by the end of this coming weekend, and like with the political satire(s), hopefully get things organized before the start of 2014. Then when the new year hits, I'll research, proofread (yes, this happens quite a bit), and finalize the books. I'm still a little ways away from having the books in publishable form, but I'm getting there, and hopefully by March or April of next year, I'll have 3-4 more books available for purchase. Yes, I may be a tad on the crazy side with all this work I've done, all that I have in front of me, and what my end goal is for the first quarter of next year, but I'm confident I can pull it off. For as crazy as my work ethic has been and is bound to be in the coming weeks and months, hopefully I find some time to actually relax, veg out, have a few drinks, and enjoy the holidays. In any case, I just wanted to update regular readers on these matters. I'll be sure to continually update all of you once I get further along in the process.
My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"
Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html
