I have a bit of a challenge for you all. I am starting work on self-publishing Hallucinations, Cancer and the Purple Tree. You can read here: 1
http://alittleviolet.alex10819.org/thepurpletree.html2
Since you wonderful poets have been with me since the beginning, I would love some help writing a description of the book. What would you say about my poetry if you had the chance? (If I get something fabulous, I'll put it on the back of the book.)3
I find it nearly impossible to write a review of my own work, which is why I write poetry! I can't sum up my own work, so I'm giving you guys a chance.4
I may just take quotes from everyone's review and put them all on the back of the book. So even if you're a new reader or you don't have much to say, just leave a comment and let me know what you think!5
Thank you all so much. For being here to inspire me, for always leaving comments and helping me get to this point.6

Kate's poetry has a way of echoing in the empty places inside you that you didn't even know were there. While the individual reader may not share the same personal experiences as the author, they will be able to relate to the emotions that well up as they read her enthralling poems.

All the psychiatrist could tell me was that it was located in one area, which means it was put there by some trauma, not because of the meds. The meds just lowered my seizure threshold enough that I actually started to HAVE seizures, but in order to find out7 hours ago, In Personal. 200 words. → 2 comments, Add one?

Well, my EEG prelim report came back... and something's wrong. My synapses are firing off in ways they shouldn't be. But since the neurologist was taking holiday time, I won't get my full report until Monday. 1 I fucking hate Thanksgiving.

So I never get scared.

So last week the power company called and said they were going to turn off my power, because my bill was late. BECAUSE I HAVE NO FUCKING MONEY AND NO ONE WILL HIRE ME. Ahem.
