The best news I have had in a long time!

[texastickler]

First of all. Thanks to Angel77 and Leafstk for giving me a little nudge out of the door on this one. Today I was blessed with some great yet complicated news.

As some of you already know, I am putting a book together. This book is comprised of poetry written by me and my mother. It is partly a dedication to my mothers life, and a way to help the American Cancer Society.

I recently sent out samples of my poetry to some publishers to review. Today I received word that one publisher is interested in seeing the complete book. It was a shock to my system. I was not sure if I should be saying something about this just yet because nothing is final. So, bear in mind this does not mean this will be published. It was just so awesome I could not contain myself.

It is bitter sweet however. I wish my Mom could be here to experience this with me. She was a joy in my life and often told me to pursue my dreams. I wish I had done so a little sooner.

Just wanted to tell you all my good news. Hopefuly it will become even better news soon. Love to all!

Tom

Thank You so much all my friends! I will let you all know as things develop! I am writing a few more poems now to add to this! I am keeping my fingers crossed. If this one does not work out, i have many more publishers to try! I will never be out. It took Dr. Seuss years right? But he did it!
