Last night, before I went to bed, I stayed up for a few more hours to finish drafting a poem collection for tomorrow's Valentine event. I asked a few of my writer friends to contribute 1-2 of their best lovey-dovey poems so I can include them in my collection. Of course, credit will always be given.
Earlier today, I ran around town looking for a decent self-publishing deal. I had finished the layout and typed all the poetry up in one okay package so all I needed was to get someone to print them. Luckily, I remembered an older friend who was working at Eagle Publishing. Khalleen and I visited the place and we got our deal. Unfortunately, the output wasn't the same small book (ala ADMU Heights) I had imagined and was instead one of those larger kiddie books in size. It wasn't all bad though as it came out great, albeit not what I expected. At least I now know to draft my stuff on A5 Paper if I plan on publishing them on a small book size.
A few hours from now, Emem Zaldivar will be celebrating her birthday. She's an awesome writer and a greater friend. She was also one of those writer friends who contributed her work to my crappy compilation. She'll be 20 and I intend to be the first to greet her.
Tomorrow, REPLIKA will hold its Valentines Day Special Exhibit of sorts. That was the event where I was planning to showcase my first successful self-published poetry book. Jr Cheng, Khalleen, Xtian Abigail Seraspi and a few other members were with me earlier to fix the venue and we did good.
This summer, I plan to publish a poetry book before I move on with the next chapter of my life.
Looks like I've done good for this day.
