I am trying to do more art and more writing. It is not an inexpensive thing. However thanks to Patreon even a dollar a month helps to get the supplies I need to keep doing creative endeavors.

All of my patrons are appreciated.
Prompt : Poisonous
I started with the mushrooms,
Ground finely don’t you see.
Then I gathered leaves
From the poisonous tree.
I picked it clean,
With no thought at all,
To what that would mean.
I mixed them all up
Adding belladonna seeds,
With just enough water
To make it liquid to suit the needs.
So in my pocket is the vial,
Hand mixed by me,
Made up of mushrooms and
The poisonous tree.
What will I do?
With the vial you ask,
I will hold it safe
Until the goodbye last.
So I have been very sick or this post would have been made last week. I have finished writing the poetry for Temporal Verse. I am working on layout and will be posting links soon.
I am going to be doing the inktober challenge… And I will post the pictures of it daily. However, I will likely not be posting long descriptions with. As that would make it harder for me. Inktober, for the uninformed, is a daily drawing challenge. I will not promise that mine will be the best art out there, as the challenge draws some amazeballs artists. I am going to try to post here and twitter and instagram.
Then I plan on doing the pad challenge in November, and Serena is doing Nanowrimo. So I will try to post some of the results, poetry and teasers for her. I am not going to promise that because I may not have any extra time.
I have started branching into other places to sell my books. Draft2digital offers me options for many venues. I will be next week doing a post up with the links that I have already, and I will attempt to update it monthly.
There have been discussions on doing an audiobook version of Rust, Gore, and the Junkyard Zombie as a anniversary release. If we do it, then it will be May.
I have a couple of poems from the new volume to share, I will do it in a separate post. This is mostly just upcoming news. ☺
Also, I have been posting on Facebook a poll. The title for my next volume of poetry… I am leaving in fan hands. Cast your vote.

Creatives Rising E-Zine Fall Edition is coming out! It is an E-Zine For Creatives, By Creatives. I am extremely lucky enough to have been in each edition thus far. This time I will have my art within, and I know that several wonderful artists are also being involved.
There is articles, photographs, poetry, and several different types of art, all in seasonal themes. If you aren’t subscribed, I highly recommend you do so.
Below you will find the subscription link.

My sister was featured on a Dear Friend’s blog!
So I have been accepted by another literary magazine. So I think that I will need to do a list of places… Other than my own publications that I have been published and what was published. Some of these are still upcoming. Approval often happens well before the printing.
Creatives Rising, Issue 1, Poem
Issue 2, Art
Issue 3(upcoming), Art
Down in the dirt. Jan/feb 2019 issue poem
bewildering stories, issue tbd (should be 762 or later, roughly a month from now give or take.) Poem
This list is obviously subject to update. I am starting to get braver about sharing my stuff. It is not an easy thing for me. I am so tickled by the response I have been getting.
Also with the change in createspace to kdp… I have been thinking. I am debating whether or not to keep my poetry volumes and kids books in Kindle unlimited or to do it over the other platforms. Weigh in with your opinion?
I have been submitting to various lit magazines. So far only two have responded yes! I will have my art in the fall edition of Creatives Rising. And in roughly a month my poetry should be appearing at http://www.bewilderingstories.com
Go show that e-zine some love ! I will post if any of my other submissions take off. I am also going to try to submit more, as I think that I need to get my name known more.
Oh and before I go, I registered Serena for Nano. So I may not be posting much in November … Or I may be posting a lot. Not sure yet .
