An Announcement & Thank You
Prosers!
I have finally self published a thing!
*Before you click either link below I must warn you - it is for mature audiences only (NSFW/contains sex/basically it’s silly romantic pornography, I’ve had a hard year)
Here it is:

Or here is the evil Amazon version: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09263DLQ9?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tkin_0&storeType=ebooks
In order to further embrace my new passion as a hopeless romantic I will also be re-posting some of my Prose poetry over to my new writer blog here:
https://harperdailyromance.com/
I must also make a confession - I have woefully used Prose for my own self reflection/development. [rueful nod]
When I started here I just wanted an outlet to get back to the fun writing I used to engage in as a kid. I had never felt inspired to write until I came here and found all these thought-provoking challenges. Then suddenly I couldn’t stop and became addicted.
I also met several wonderful, talented writers all pouring their hearts out into the Internet and then I realized - why am I holding myself back? Because I can’t “make it” as a writer? It is incredibly easy to self-publish now - and yes, there is a sea of crap out there and maybe mine’s no better - but that’s fine.
Because there are also thousands of bright lights blinking in the ocean and I choose to toss in with them. If one small post a day from a random stranger in the world can make me smile - fuck, that smile is enough for me.
So after I felt so inspired I wrote an entire book (and maybe two others which are forthcoming) I decided heck with it - I can always get the day job. Why the hell not publish the damn thing on the web for the woefully low price of half a cup of coffee and maybe some other souls might find it?
And so I did : )
I am not pimping my works out here for anyone to go read (read what YOU need, not what others say to!) so much as announcing my own happy moment.
I also want to truly thank from the bottom of my heart this inspiring community of poets, prosers, and posters for continuing to ignite each other’s passions as well as provide much needed sanity/group therapy in a world gone mad. Please continue to take care of each other and let all your beautiful voices be heard. It may have all started with Challenges, but honestly it’s your posts that truly inspire me to write more - you are all not just poets but muses incarnate! Continue to be the beautiful bright lights you all are!
Mad Love to You All!
