Book Euphoria

When writing a book
I feel completely alive
When I’m finished
And the book is done
I enter a stage of euphoria
My insides twist and turn
And I feel a sort of
Wondrous sense of passion
Only felt when I successfully
Create my book for the world
Where I’m proud of myself
And I hear from friends
Who go on to state that
The books are fantastic
Beautiful works of art
These completions are what
Ultimately turn me on

Russell, yes, that is a GREAT turn on! I remember the feeling of joy I felt on publishing my first chapbooks. It felt so unreal and when some friends gave me their reviews, it was the best feeling ever.How are you? I bet you didn't know Soup just came on? Luv, Andrea
