So, I ended 2013 on a massive high with a very nice phone call from Chapter One Promotions telling me that my book 'Love Or Suicide and the Life Inbetween' came 3rd in their annual self publishing competition. After a tough 2013, that phone call and that news was needed and welcomed with a beaming smile and a huge confidence boost. Maybe it really does prove that if you put your mind to something, you truly can do it and be successful!
Anyway, my big project for 2014 is called 'Year'. A poem a day with its subject matter a representation of that specific day; hence a load of unpredictability and uncertainty. This project has been in the back of my mind for a while so to finally start it is exciting. So, for your reading pleasure, I have included the second poem of my project 'Year' for you to gorge on.
1st January
Success
In the last hours of 2013,
came a phone call number unknown,
and after a voicemail left,
came a very welcome success.
Third in a self-publishing comp,
bringing a genuine smile to my face,
something actually went my way,
signalling a fresh start this very day.
It is possible to do anything,
as long as you believe,
it is possible to live your dreams,
a worthwhile life it seems.
So here I am finally ready,
to take on the world and win,
bring light into my every present darkness,
no longer wandering in blind aimlessness.
