new plan?


maybe i should go back to my parents' house, get a job as a carpenter (there is a guy i know who will hire me whenever), save money, self publish my poetry book in an edition of 600-1000 copies and then go around the states by greyhound and read poetry on the street or in libraries or wherever and sell my books for like 1-5 dollars each/free and then after a little while i will go to mexico with the money i made/have saved up still


i don't know what i'll do in mexico, but there will probably be chimichangas or something like them and i will eat those or some version of those that don't have meat in them

just thought of something... how difficult is it to carry 500 books?

matthew said...

this is a bad plan isnt it

matthew said...

okay, it's alright, i'll just skip the other stuff and go to mexico
does someone want to publish my poetry book in the meantime?

i will publish it. but that means i will have to write each one out by hand. if i do this then you can afford to sell them for 3 USD. speaking of monetary differentiation i am, at present, spending kunas while by 3:00 tomorrow i will be trying my best not to spend dollar bills. i was so close, but alas, papers are papers, and you need them. anyway, as you can probably tell, i am sitting at an apartment wasting time until 3 am when a taxi is to pick me up for the airport. i hope i don't fall asleep and miss something important like that taxi. i should have just written this in an email, but i felt bad that you were the only one who commented on your own brilliant idea. i want to go to mexico as well and brush my teeth with baking soda.

I think you should publish your book because I would buy it a bunch of times.

Skip the chimichangas and raise chihuahuas, raise lots of chihauhuas. Also, give advice to us less tech savy bloggers who don't know how to post our PDF chapbooks on our blogs.

1. it is not hard to carry around 500 books if you have a wagon. get a wagon. alternatively, get an extremely unreliable car like the girl in wendy and lucy. when it breaks down it won't be sad because you don't have a dog.

2. i know a really good bustop in chicago where you can read your poems.

3. how about instead of mexico you go to NEW mexico. i heard it's exactly the same there, just with less kidnappings.
