'A Tongue With But Six Words' E-Book
For about two years I've ran a six word poetry blog over at ATongueWithButSixWords.tumblr.com. I create six-worders derived from prompts submitted by the blog's following. Some of the pieces are emotions, some are stories, and some are just words on a screen. It's been a wild, liberating, collaborative experience annd I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. This project has helped shape me as a writer and human being; I've loved hearing your stories and interpreting them to the best of my abilities and so from the bottom of my heart and mind I thank you for your participation and support. The blog could literally not exist without you all.
This GoFundMe campaign is focused on bringing a six-word-poem-centric E-Book into the hands of anyone that would like one. This is the first big leap I've taken with the blog and my writings-- getting the poetry out there is very important to me, and by supporting this campaign you are supporting me as an artist.
The E-Book will come complete with 30-40 pages of original content and poetry pulled both from the blog and written specifically for this e-book, an (uncharacteristically verbose) introduction, and artwork contributed by the Tumblr community. This is not going to be a half-hearted effort; I fully intend to jam-pack this thing with content as a fulfilling read.
This is my first effort into the e-publishing world and will be used to gauge whether this is a route I should be pursuing. Thank you for your time and consideration, and stay lovely.
