Gratitude, Gratitude... and a D-39 Book Trailer!
Gratitude. It's what gets me through the tough times. In DICTIONARY FOR A BETTER WORLD: Poems, Quotes and Anecdotes from A to Z, written by myself and Charles Waters, illustrations by Mehrdokht Amini, on the “gratitude” entry, we suggest, readers make a gratitude list.
My gratitude list today:
daffodils in the ditch
#lakelife
the fact that virtual visits allow me to connect with readers, but don't require (stressful) travel
.....
I'm also grateful to have my new novel coming in May! It's a middle grade dystopian verse novel called D-39: A ROBODOG'S JOURNEY.
All that not-traveling time allowed me to play around with imovie and create—from all FREE video/photo/sound sources on the web!—a book trailer for my new book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. 💗

Daffodils! Perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome trailer. This book sounds like a wonder as are all your books of poetry. Congratulations Irene. Yes, There is much to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteHooray for learning in the pandemic. I saw a tweet yesterday that made me smile...something along the lines of "look at this as a gap year, not a lost year. We've all learned new skills in our gap year that we will use when we go back to in the building learning."
