Re: Original Poetry Anthology now available!

Since we're on the subject of OP...papa, was there a two-time winner of poet-of-the-week for the first anthology, and is it possible for anyone who was chosen for the first book to be a winner for the second collection of winning poems ?

Why did I ask that...I muttered to myself. Because I am curious...I babbled, with a funny look on my smiling face...

gorant asked: and is it possible for anyone who was chosen for the first book to be a winner for the second collection of winning poems ?

Yes, "dahlusion" has accomplished this with: "Then The Tumblers Rust" and "If I Ask The Dead For Memories"

Now your curiosity is no longer valid, and enjoy the poems. smirk

There was a two time winner actually, however the rules have it as you can only win once per contest now. If you won in the first book contest, you can win in the second one. You just can't win twice.

I think that's up to the publisher. I'm not really sure how it all works though.

Well, anadia, if Sir Alexander Fleming hadn’t asked, “What is this green fungus that has destroyed my cultures of staphylococci?”….. he might never had discovered penicillin.

And as for Audio Set, Reciting for the blind?? cd audio book!!....it wouldn't hurt to add an automatic misspelling corrector.......What do you think, papa ?

LOL.....................................................gogant

You should be getting an e-mail about it either early next week, or the week after Christmas. I'll check into that further.

I'll send you an autograph if I can get one from you too cheese

I like the idea for the audio book, WordSlinger had asked about it too. I'll check with the powers and see about it.

As for auto misspelling corrector...I was just thinking to myself..."I wonder how hard it would be to put a spelling auto corrector on here..."... great minds...

Re: Original Poetry Anthology now available!

As for me I'm buying one , ok, for the local public library here in downtown Seattle,
so I would like to ask all of you to do the same. The winners should....

Find your exquisite joy, WS

P.S. a pic of my library:

That is SUCH a great idea!! Buy an extra book, donate it to the library-explaining you are one of the writers..that way it will continue to circulate through book lovers, and libraries for years to come!! Love that...you are so on top of everything, all the time!!-*smile,wink*

I just ordered three of them for christmas, but I'll throw one at my lil' country library! tongue wink
