DH was mighty impressed, and is now impatient for us to get the study back together properly so we can display it all. i don't want to "hide" it as such, but my poetry has come about from some pretty difficult times, and i don't want awards to be visible so that people are asking me to read iykwim?
Mick, i'd love to do an ebook to share with others plus one in print. DH is useless with computers, so he wants a hard copy that he can physically read. i'm a bit the same to be honest - plus everything is deeply personal for us and for our future kidlets, so would love to have something i can show them later on kwim? would definitely be up for some lessons on creating an ebook though!
ooh, thought i'd just add to this - have now been advised i've won an award as one of 2007's best poets AND i've been asked to submit a poem for publishing by NOBLE HOUSE! have to go through what i've got and decide which one to publish - it won't be printed til next year though, so have a month or so to decide
the book will be titled Favourite Memories (well, that is working title at the moment) and is a collection of poems by authors from all around the world.
most of my stuff is "darker" - not that bad, but born from the journey we've been going through, so i'm not really sure what to do about poem to submit - would love to have something more positive (as things are really looking up!) but the Gremlin has deprived me of brain cells lately so not sure how creative i could be...
might include a couple more in another thread and see what people think...
