A few years ago I put together a book of poetry that is a collection of poems I wrote for my wife and a few others I had written before her and I met. I self published the book through Amazons KDP program (Kindle Direct Publishing) and CreateSpace.com for a print on demand printed copy option as well (CreateSpace is now owned by Amazon).
My book is called "A Heart Sings Love: A Collection of Original Poetry"
It is with the deepest sincerity that I thank my wife Julia for bringing forth these words that I am able to share with the world. I hope that these writings will bring a small amount of joy to all of those who read them.
I may not be another Robert Frost, Edgar Allen Poe or Ernest Hemingway but then again, you never know I just might be.
The Heart Sings Love: A Collection of Original Poetry
At the time of this post I am not aware of any current exchange to make this purchase via Steem of SBD but if there is not one that exists now I am sure there is something in the works.
If you are interested in purchasing using Steem or SBD reach out to me and let's see what we can make happen.
Or you can always check back on my posts and eventually I will have posted them all.

That's cool! I definitely love me some good poetry and it sounds like some special stuff! If I wasn't so tight on money I'd definitely buy a copy. Maybe in the future. :) Good luck with your efforts! And since we're still small, you may want to enter this and your properties to rent again in the future as well. I also just opened up a shop function on the discord if you want your own shop! That way they wont get lost and you can keep them together in the same channel. :)

I actually sent you a DM before I saw this comment. I would love my own store. I appreciate you checking my post. I can send you the word doc that I used publish the book with (no cost) if you'd like. Not sure if you'd consider it good or not. I've already posted 2 of my poems to my blog and did get some pretty good feedback from one of them from ASAPers. My poems are typically written with an ABAB rhyme scheme ala Dr. Suess but it's something I've always enjoyed.
As far as entering this and my properties again, would I do that with a separate post or will the posts stand up over time? Still trying to figure out how all of this works.
Please do set me up a shop, I will also be posting my mini CD of original music in there as well.
Thanks again for your support and creating such a great channel. I feel it has already helped me grow.

Hey.. Sorry for the very delayed response here. I get overwhelmed with messages sometimes and it's too much to keep up with and I had to take a break.
Some of what you said is no longer relevant to respond to and I've already talked to you about it elsewhere, but I will respond to this part.
I think this is up to you! With the discord channel you can have people be able to scroll through your stuff in a more efficient way. And have it be seen for a long time without scrolling back ridiculously far like on steemit. But.. You probably should update them every once and a while, how often that is I'm not sure. It's really up to you! But updating things from time to time is good I think.
Oh and.. You could totally do it more often if you wanted to, I think the more often you make posts on steemit about such, the more people will see your content. So.. once again it's up to you, there are pros and cons to both ways! Cheers! Glad to have you be a part of both the IFC and The Marketplace. :) So far I've enjoyed your stuff a lot!

I've had a great time participating in the contests, creating posts for the marketplace and connecting with people on the IFC. I'm still so new and trying to figure everthing out. I'll probably be asking newbie questions for quite some time to come.

Heh. You're doing great so far, I feel similar though! I feel like I'm still learning and I'm like a year and a half into this or so.. So.. It's a lot to take in and digest, but definitely feels more familiar over time the more you learn about it like most things I think! You're off to a really good start though, I have a feeling if you keep at it in time it'll be very rewarding. :) Also, glad to hear you've appreciated the community so much so far! I have as well. It's a pretty awesome group of people. :D

I think I belong to about 11 Discord servers thus far. I'm already looking at leaving about 5 of them. Too much to keep track of and some of them are confusing. I'm sticking with the ones that I enjoy and that have great people in them. Just so there's no confusion... I am NOT leaving the IFC. Love it!

I think I'm on around that many too now, and.. The IFC is the only one I'm really active in. I just don't have the time. As fun or as beneficial as it'd be to be a part of them. Though glad to see you feel similar and that you enjoy this community a lot too! That's good feedback for me, the more I hear that it helps me know were' on a good path. :) Glad to hear you're not leaving the IFC! We love your presence here! You've posted one of the coolest entries ever, and your a really interesting and positive person I like being around. It's been cool getting to know you so far! I have a feeling in time it will continue to be. :)

Of all of the channels that I've joined I've found about 5 that really seem to exude positivity and I believe you are in most if not all of those. I have a feeling I will keep my Discord channel usage to just a few rooms overall. I have really enjoyed myself as well and am looking forward to growing and eventually understand what all of this stuff means and assisting others in growing as well.

I'm both sappy AND cheesy. I can't help myself. Kindle version is $0.99 and the paper copy is $5.50.
I got so excited after I published the book and the very next day sold 2 of the paper copies. Then, 3 days later my wife gets a package in the mail containing, you guessed it... 2 copies of my book. She didn't even tell me, just let me act all excited.
