Week 4: Reflection of a BYOB (Blog Your Own Book)

31-Days BYOB Challenge: Day 69 of a Self-Published Poetry Book

My life keeps spinning its abrupt moments of heartfelt concern like so many others.

• My life is on hold for 48 hours waiting for results. My favorite brother-in-law, more like a brother, went to Stanford Hospital for an operation to remove a tumor. For now, he is in intense pain.
• I texted family and friends for positive thoughts and prayers.
• To distract myself, I attended writing classes and worked in my garden.

Moving Toward Publication

I stayed on track.

• Draft 4: introduction and bio
• Shared introduction with my critique group
• Edited 2 poems with my Poetry Group
• Pencil sketched cover

Staying on Track for Week 5

• Edit and print 10 poems
• Finish book cover and watercolor

How is your BYOB going?

Adiós, Rose CG 🌹ღ
