So, the last time I seriously worked toward getting an actual book actually published was when I wrote my poetry chapbook, The Monsters' Rhapsody: Disability, Culture, & Identity, through Lulu.com, back in 2016.*
I'm getting the itch again, to write prose, this time.
Out of habit, I'm thinking of NaNoWriMo (my first NaNoWriMo was all the way back in 2005), But the idea has lost its shininess. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for the competitive setting, anymore (even if the competition is just with myself). Maybe I just don't have a clear enough idea of what I want to write, beyond my usual genre of "Literary Fairy Tale," and I'll feel more enthusiastic as November approaches. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, that's the state of me, right now.
*It's no longer available for Lulu, because they changed their printing formats / book dimensions. But I think it's still available through Amazon; I briefly thought about reformatting it, and putting out a second edition, but P.O.D. templates are a headache to format poetry, in the first place, and although I have the PDF of the book, I no longer have the original files, and so I don't have the spoons, either.
