Been a little busy of late, with me balancing a proofreading project and revising my novel at the same time. But progress is being made on both ends, so I'm grateful there's at least that.
It's just that it all feels like it's going slower than I'd like it to be. But I guess that can't be helped since there's so much other stuff to keep up with daily. Things like chores and all manner of parenting responsibilities.
Some good but somewhat unrelated news for you meantime: A poem of mine has been featured in an anthology called Malaysian Places and Spaces, published by Maya Press (an imprint of Sasbadi). The launch of the book just took place last weekend and I'm happy to say that I managed to attend the event along with my family.
It may surprise you to know that this was actually my first time ever attending a poetry reading + book launch. So it was meaningful in more ways than one.
I made some simple cards with a poem I wrote specifically for the occasion and included a small handmade gift together with it to hand out to people I met at the event.
I hope it will leave a good impression on whoever I met and that they will remember me the next time we cross paths.
Well, do check out the book if you can. It should be in Malaysian bookstores soon and probably available online too. There are 80 poets featured in it.
Okay, that'll be all from me for now. Will be back later to discuss novel related fare.
