Elysse's POST
Tonight I created a new FACEBOOK Page named simply, Elysse Poetis: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Elysse... - Tomorrow I will continue decorating it until looks good.
Persistence is my friend these days. I work extra hours until late at night, and I enjoy it. It reminds me of 2001 when I started writing The Mind of a Poetess. It seams like yesterday, yet it was twelve years ago. The difference between then and now is huge! Then, I was engulfed in fear and tears. Now, I have peace and love, not to mention the trust and the fun.
How lucky I am!

Time ... Incredible gift
We all realized over the last few years how important it is to stay disciplined in our overall interactions. These days we have to be careful with our time distribution.
Today, again, I find myself thinking, "I can do better!"In a "Conventional vs My FUTURE" world, my future will win! I can make it happen.
I sincerely have to seat down and re-calculate my time, and I know exactly what I need to do:
1. Less entertainment.
2. Less news.
3. Less home cooking.
Only so I can protect some of my precious time needed for writing and Social Media that matters to me, plus goodreads, of course.
NOTE: The Province of Ontario, CANADA, is the ideal place to be. It offers complete flexibility for creativity and superior atmosphere at every level.

Happy author/poet, sensitive and emotional
Writing and photography is so much work and fun. The details involved until the final product is ready ... The infinite temptation to change things ... The last minute overwhelming emotions ...
Yet, at some point the piles of text and/or images have to be assembled in what we call BOOKS. That's when emotions inject fear in us!
"Is this good? Can these books entertain the readers? Isn't this to childish? How can I let it go?"- is what we fear most.
With e-books it is a bit easier, since we can make small changes continuously and/or revise completely the entire book. But with printed books we take risks. Huge risks! Imagine signing the proof and letting go forever. The very next minute we imagine another cover, another picture, different size, different layout or even different characters.
In my case, when I enter a book store and see my books displayed, the world rotates with me in reverse.
"Oh, my God ... What have I've done?"
Then, suddenly someone relaxed would start a conversation, and soon I find myself happy like a child, talking and talking ... And, to my surprise, people respond with kindness and they purchase the book.
I just wanted you to know that I am a happy author/poet, yet sensitive and emotional. For as long as I will exist, I will do my best in everything I do. Books will forever force me to take risks that in the end I'm positive I will not regret. The readers take similar risks when they purchase the books. Entertainment is what they invest in. My duty is to satisfy them.
