A Big Week!

As most of you already know, I finally finished writing my “Religion and Politics” essay.  Don’t be afraid of it please, it is a normal and healthy discussion of how politics has divided the Christian community.  Check it out on the “My Works” page!  Also, try to get on the Facebook group “Someday Published” and post comments on the forums!  All feedback is appreciated greatly!  

 Next, I need money.  I am getting ready to register for the Philadelphia Book Fair and it costs upwards of 400$.  I don’t have that anywhere in my couch cushions…so I need all of your help!  Here is some motivation: all those who donate 20$ or more get a first crack at the books when they release.  You could get your copy for up to a few weeks before anyone else could, which gives you plenty of time to read it by the time your peers get it!  So, if that isn’t motivation enough, send me an email with any ideas you can think of to get excited about donating to the publication!  

Finally, I am done with essays for a little while.  I need to really focus on the book at this point, so try to spend time on the “My Works” page brushing up on my essays/narratives/poetry pieces.  The other piece of prose I have floating around coffee shops could find it’s way up on the site soon, we’ll see how it all works out.  More to come on that!  Stay posted, keep coming to the site, and tell your friends!  Now is about the time where I really need to work on generating buzz, and I need your help (as always!). 

Cheers!
