Ever since 2005, I have been writing poems, I remember not paying much attention in classes at Upper Secondary because I would always get lost jotting away random verses here and a line or two there... I couldn't help it! It would be anything from poems with a set structure or rhyme - to more open texts.
After almost eight years of writing, I decided it was time to finally get around to pick out a collection of my favourite one, but as you might know, you are your worst critic and so the task proved rather difficult! About a year ago, I think...was when I tried to get a list together of the ones I wanted to include, but it wasn't until this month I finally got my thoughts together and designed my own book!
I used a company called blurb.com, based in the Netherlands (according to the parcel I received). Basically you own all your own rights, and all they do is take credit for the printing process and the basic layouts that you use.
Interested in a copy? Click the picture below or click here and you can order it from the website directly, and choose whether you want a soft or hardback copy, colour or black and white, and whether you would like for it to be sent to your inbox in a PDF format as well for just a couple of extra quid!
It's strange seeing my name on the book, very humbling... I didn't know what to say when I got it delivered at work today. I know it's mostly down to years of writing, but to actually see it in front of me? I'm speechless!

Så kult at man kan lage sin egen bok :D Jeg vil også ha min egen diktsamling i hylla!
ReplyDeleteHei Line! Ja, ikke sant? Det var veldig enkelt! Blir ikke penger av det, men er artig og spre ordet. Skriver du? x
DeleteIt is so important to follow passion. It helps us grow... and makes our souls sing :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats xo
Awh Kat, thank you so much! Yeh, I knew it was something I had to do... I have been writing for too long to just let it pass me by like that :) x
DeleteKult! Følg drømmen din :) Om ikke du blir rik på det, så er det godt å ha sine egne ting å se tilbake på. Dikt o.l. som man skriver kan bli som en slags dagbok, for det man skriver blir jo veldig preget av hvordan man har det og hvordan livet ellers er.
ReplyDeleteEr så enig! Foreldrene mine sier liksom "skal du ikke studere og slikt? Bare jobbe?" men jeg jobber for og leve, ikke omvendt, og nå kan jo de få se litt av hva jeg har bedrevet! Tusen takk Maria :) x
