    I been invited to my niece's school to read some poetry to them.
    It's the same jr.high school I went too.
    This will happen, not sure when.
    Coming up soon I am reading some poems to a group of artists
    and whoever else shows up.
    This will be my first public event.(maybe sell a few copies)
    I am growing a bit nervous as it gets near.
    Um, holy crap.


    :) That's fantastic chad. :)

    You'll be great! I got everything crossed for you. :)
    NOPE!!!

    hey.... pssssst chadwick, I read the whole book last weekend, on a path, through a field and I thought it was a beautiful thing.
    Now I will be sending it back to you so you can write in it for me. :)

    That is way kick-ass.
    A beautiful thing, sweetly said Earthlywoman.
    Send away, I'll be waiting near my mailbox.
    I'll pitch a tent in the lil grassy area of the post office.
    It'll be like the time I camped out in line for 3 weeks waiting
    for those Star-Wars movies.

    And thank you.

    Tonight it is on.
    A group of artists
    and other guests
    get to listen to me
    read some of my poetry.

    This is my first public reading of my poems.
    Kinda spooky sorta.
    I know myself well tho, I have nerves of steel.
    I'll be just fine, humor works well.
    I am a jack-ass which makes things light and relaxed
    for me and for others.

    I think I'm placing candles around the room for a cozy atmosphere.
    Freakin balls, yeah I am.

    I must say I did a good job.
    It was fun.
    In a dimmed room with
    candles and oil lamps goin
    my poetry was read to a
    small group.
    Even sold a few copies
    and gave away one single
    poem to a lady that bought a book.

    I wanna do this again and soon.

    I am freakin out.
    Today a wonderful lady is having me deliver
    her 5 copies of my book to her home.
    She was at the poetry reading I did back in November.
    She already has a copy of my poetry book.
    These 5 copies she wants are christmas gifts for family and friends.
    I am so in awe............
    Thank you is all I can say.

    Thank you MCKB.
    It has been a moving afternoon.
    I am impressed by this lady I spoke of earlier.
    She's in her 70's and just full of intelligence.
    A very artistic lady.
    Anyways, her getting 5 copies of my book is helping me pay my bills.

    I WILL read it one day. It just takes me a long time to get round to doing anything.

    I read a short reveiw somewhere and it only said good things. (Can't remember where, now). :(

    Thank you harmless.

    Depends.
    I think to myself often about this.
    I ask around the same price as a
    bookstore does or an online.com does.

    I myself don't get them for free.

    My 2 author copies were free, that's it.
    Anymore cost me.
