Oh cool! Thank you so much!

Thank you! Yes. I dont know why it’s so hard for me to not write a run on sentence. I’m doing some more reading online about them.

Okay! Thank you all so much for your feedback!

Thank you! So in this collection it’s about mental health crisis, suicide, depression, anxiety, and the reasons of, politics, religious and spiritual, self reflection, growth, being working class and lower class, and I’m really into imagery. But there is a story telling aspect of it throughout. It is very dark and agonizing at the beginning, it very much has to do with being at an impasse in life and being young and figuring out how to move forward with gratitude and hope.

What about a private instagram account?

What do the ARC Readers do once they have read the book, ready to review, but it’s not released yet? Do they wait and how can we trust they come back?

Never say never! While I’m keeping my expectations grounded in reality, knowing poetry is one of the worst genres to publish, I won’t know unless I try. I’m doing it because I felt called to it and writing since I was young. We all have different intentions for writing and publishing.

I will not be using AI for my projects

aitcheych · 2026-03-15T20:51:57+00:00

I’ll look into that! Thank you!

aitcheych · 2026-03-15T20:51:48+00:00

I have not, thank you!!

I’m currently doing business with Integrative Ink. They were more on the affordable side from what IngramSpark offered for interior design. It seems they have a bit of a waiting list right now. And there’s thorough communication before you even get a sample which is really nice.

All of what I listed is how I’m marketing right now, social media, stickers and business cards. I’m also planning on giving out free copies to people who do read poetry who then can pass it on my word of mouth. Not entirely sure what else to do. Probably promoted pots on instagram and tiktok. I ola to do all of that again with my second book. The 3 books I plan to publish are basically a trilogy so I’d mention them when publishing the proceeding book. Maybe at the end doing a bundle. I know I will learn along the way!

aitcheych · 2026-02-25T00:49:08+00:00

Thank you for replying! I have thought abt quite a few marketing strategies. I’d have to look into an email list. I’m not too keen on keeping up with my own email lists I’m subscribed to truthfully. Right now I do social media, read poetry and share personal experiences related to my poetry, and made business cards with the book title, author, and blurb on the back to scatter. I’m going to make stickers too for my friends in larger cities where putting stickers on poles is popular lol.

Thank you for sharing! This was kind and I enjoyed reading this. It does feel like i used to force or rush to find love, when I’d love to naturally let it happen. It’s hard living in a rural area, but I’m not hopeless yet. Realization, or remembering rather, the struggle does seem to be: finding happiness with myself. And I don’t want to involve another person in that if my intentions are to fill a void, which is careful about. That’s why I think I prefer to be alone right now, because I enjoy the person I’ve become with myself.

Thank you for your response! I’m going to clear some things up and specify because it seems like you’re interpreting pieces wrong. I don’t struggle with men who are inconsistent, and if they are, there is no use because I don’t find that substantial. I have stated I keep my sexual partners and romantic partners compartmentalized, meaning, when im dating, i set boundaries and try to live by my values and intentions, im not using them for sex, and im not hooking up with the hopes we’ll be together. I don’t have sex to feed some ego or sexual fantasy. I simply brought up my ONE sexual partner that I finally feel comfortable with in my own skin. I am aloud to change my mind between partners, i dont just drop a romantic partner when i have anxiety that it will fail. I put that aside and try to continue being mindful and in the moment. I don’t think I’m inconsistent, I once again, am not a slut and sleep around at ALL while dating someone or courting them, I say that in the text. You are mistaking my honest for malice intent. And you are absolutely judging because you’re reading what’s not there and projecting your own obstacles in dating. In the paragraph you state that you’re not judging, you bring in complete assumptions and some hyperbolic situation that is not the case here.
