Update...
Update…
Well, I just started my new quarter this week. I received my grades from last quarter. I earned a 4.0. I am very excited. I also received last week my sample/waiting for approval copy of my “September Blue” chapbook. I am self publishing through lulu.com. You can order a copy now, I think…Just search the book title or my name under P. Allan Frederick. You should find it. If not, look under ID 288626. I still haven’t approved my book yet, and that may not allow you to buy one. They are $11.00 on Lulu, but if you pre-order through me, I’ll sell them to you at $8.00 plus shipping. But that means that you will have to send me about $9.50 before hand. I’m not giving out my address, so the discount is for my friends and family who already have my mailing address. However, I ask, that if you are able, to buy it through Lulu.com. I will have copies at the Arts in the Park festival here in Flatwoods on the 14th of April (two weeks!). The festival is looking to be pretty awesome. Of course our main concern is the size of the crowd, but we are blitzing for the next two weeks, and we’ll see what happens. I of course will do my annual update and fill in for the haps of the festival. I am feeling a little frustrated about it. It started out about poets, but now, the feeling in the club is to get a big crowd for having a big crowd’s sake. We have four or five musical acts, a handful of people that want to do a reading, and hopefully some artist who will show up with their wares. I have a feeling that next year we will have to find somebody who’ll be simi-pro organizer who can really bring this thing to a head, and make it really awesome. It builds momentum every year, and we can only hope that this year will be amazing.
What I would like to do though, if offer an annual workshop to the public, that is not a club meeting, nor a special outdoors event. See, April was declared National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets. They publicize events all year, and coordinate many themselves. So, I’d like to just do a workshop, in maybe the library, or even someday an extension of the April event, maybe in the senior center next to the park. I don’t know, we’ll have to see.
Well, that’s it for now.

Congrats on your grades, brother, that's awesome!!!
The festival sounds great, too. Wish I could be there. Some year, for sure.
Ditto on the grades and the publication. That's great news and I know you've been looking forward to doing that for a very long time.
