My chapbook An Insatiable Desire for Deja'Vu (Flutter Press 2009) came in this week and they look beautiful, was very cool actually holding one in my hands. If you would like a signed one for 10.00 ( including all shipping) send me a note at girlnixon@gmail.com, I still have a few available here. I walked around the house and showed my entire family , including the dog and cats where I mentioned them in the bio. All they wanted to know was if they could get Fancy Feast or Alpo on the side. I am still mailing out copies, I hope to have them all mailed by Monday, I had hoped to get them done by Friday, but this week has been hectic, Rachael has been sick again and Mike had dental surgery on Wednesday, and it seems still I am not 100% and am still sleeping more than I ever have, hopefully soon I can return to grown-up hours. I received an invitation to enter the photo contest I placed in last year, and have been trying to identify some photos to enter, last year I ended up printing out about 30 of my favorites, carried them around for a month soliciting (pestering) my friends opinions before I settled on the ones to submit. So far I have picked one, and perhaps have a couple more in mind. Keeping my fingers crossed to place. Results are released in February. I started a round of 30 at ITWS, lasted 10 days, and today am officially dropping out. I can not seem to be able to write and stay caught up with comments and I hate when I can not pull my own weight. So I suspect for a while longer I am back in poetic hibernation. In the meantime I will work on revisions and submissions, and revise a small chapbook manuscript I put together awhile back, one that is important to me. I began work on a project sparked by something my dear friend Chrissie said to me in passing, that is beginning to take on a life of its own, something I am calling pieces of eight, we will see how I do. Chrissie has a beautiful new chapbook How to Photograph the Heart out from The Lives You Touch Publications, available for pre-order now. Liz's Maximus Miracle Book Tour Stop 3, can be found on Women Rule Writer, I encourage everyone to check it out.

Hi Brenda,
Just to say I'll be paypaling you for your fab chapbook over the next day or so...and also just to say that I so enjoyed your latest 10 poems up in ITWS ...well done, girl, hearted them so much...and congrats on making it to 10, that's what counts, the actual writing and not the finishing of a round...would so love to do a round soonish, maybe a 10:10 on the run up to the holiday season... ; ))
Take care, Brenda and keep on savouring the book's publication, it's a special time. ; )
Hope Rachel is getting better soon...poor girl is having a rough time.
Oh and thanks for the tour mention xx ; ) xx
Send me some of your "candidates" for the photo contest and I will give you my very unbiased opinion! Love you!
