Actualization

From the round table of Arthur Pensteam.

Heyo heyo,

Right off the bat, I want to thank you all for your support with the release of my poetry book 99¢ Free Verse Garbage. Reception has exceeded my expectations in every way, and my satisfaction has followed suit. Turns out that actually finishing a project can be a great experience. While editing consumed most of my life last week (with approximately 30 final drafts in the last three hours that still missed an egregious error in the TOC [since rectified]), it's nice to have it out for a rigorous public scrutiny.

I hope you enjoy it; please let me know what you think. For those of you didn't see anything about it, check out my project summary or the Amazon purchase page. Everyone please leave reviews - this way, you can preserve your own legacy tangentially to mine, as well as bolster my placement in the holy algorithm that deigns to smartly connect our whims to purchases.

I will probably plug this book for a couple more weeks here, so buckle up and enjoy.

This week, my head is swimming. I may have finished a lot of work on this book, but there's so much left to be done. It's a nice thing, to have a lot to do, but when you're kept awake at four in the morning, it weighs like a looming, encrypted cryptid, waiting to be solved at the risk of your own demise. Don't get me wrong though - contrary to popular belief, I do like puzzles in general; admittedly, for the cardboard iterations, my patience wears thin as my back begins to hurt very quickly. My fiancée is much better at solving those. But as one of my more influential friends noted to me last year, the most fabulous puzzle is our everyday lives, that, with the right amount of scientific observation, we can attempt to measure and regard with joy.

Gracious. I have some beers to drink.

Thanks again for your support, please watch for an RBG later this week, stay warm, and have a good one.
