Letter U and Letter Y

As a writer, I recently approached a woman in a bus, who was writing something in her notebook. She told me about her writing that she was enrolled into a haiku poetry course and had an assignment to complete. I asked her to show me some of her poetry and I have shown her my books, that I had to make sales. She read one of my poems, “Letter U”, and told me that she liked it. 

Later on in the day, I forgot the five copies of my book Letter Y on another bus. I was going to sell them and pay tuition. This is why I went to Seattle, hoping to reach audience of people interested to purchase my poetry books. Instead, I had to come back to Ferndale without making a sale, with no money, but it didn’t make feel sad.

Talking to my friends, I made a joke, that this was a part of my marketing plan and I have achiebed my goal of marketing my book, because perhaps the books will finally get to their readers! 

The woman I met on the bus, was a person who liked to read my book, and I thought later on, that I had to give the book to her, for free, and exchange phones, and make a friend. I understood, that people, who are interested in my writing, – the genuine readers are most important for me, not the money that I make. 

I don’t have printed copies of my book anymore, and I cannot afford to purchase. Instead I will send you my book “Letter Y” digitally, for free, if you are interested to be my friend, read my poetry and tell me about your favorite things to do, and if you are a writer, I am interested to read what you are writing, as well.
