Yes, if I actually complete it. The idea is for something pretty modest, what could be called a chapbook of poems from late 2017 to early 2018, Prayers Upon the Sidewalk.------------------ Soul Stars Astrology - by the declinations guy Declinations: because the planets move north and south of the celestial equator IP: Logged |

Yep, a childrens book and have quite a few more in me too.Mercury in Pisces (4th) very loosely conjunct Jupiter from Aquarius, trine Saturn-Moon in the 9th House, trine Ascendant-Uranus. Venus in 3rd House, opposite MC. Moon ruling MC. No planets in 5th or 10th House, but Neptune ruling 5th and in the 2nd House. :-) ------------------ blog: http://waxlobster.blogspot.co.uk/ New horoscopes just posted for January to March 2018!!!

November 2017. The theme is in the title. quote:

Yeah, I wrote a poem off the cuff for a thread for astrology related poetry somewhere on LL a couple years ago .... not finding it. So I'll just copy it here: I sat and watched the bull and wondered if I should shoot it but no Gemini lent me ear to pull so now I must exclude it The bovine in peace, just sits chawing by himself like Aqua grandpa used to spit and mumble 'bout the elf We wouldn't shoot a human whether flaky or a faker so we wouldn't shoot that bull for doing what's his nature There's also this thread: Poems inspired by meditation or spiritual moments. ------------------ Soul Stars Astrology - by the declinations guy Declinations: because the planets move north and south of the celestial equator

The better question has anyone successfully published a book and made at least $1 on it.Anyone can write a book. Just put it online as a .pdf. Very rarely do authors get there books published and actually make any money. You might not be familiar with the "Eat Shrink and Be Marry"cookbooks. Which is they take existing recipes and start substituting it with low fat ingredients without alternating the taste. The publishers rejected there idea and they perused anyway. Became a best seller and they didn't owe the publishers anything. My Planets ========================================= ☉‘ ♊, ☽ ♈, ASC ♑, ☿ ♊, ˇ÷ ♉, ˇö ♋ , ♃ ♒, ♄ ♏, ♅ ♐, ♆ ♑ IP: Logged |

Fiction. YA sci-fi/ Fantasy under one name & Romantic Suspense under another Aries rising- so all of the standard placements for those houses. Neptune is conjunct my MC Mercury is in my 12th, squaring Uranus in my 9th, and loosely conjunct my ASC. IP: Logged |

You are actually 'making a living' at it? How EXCITING!
That usually doesn't happen right away. Normally (in the former days) you'd have to sell LOTS of books to receive those kinds of 'sustaining-sums'. Royalty agreements? Or, .. Maybe you reached success doing it through self-promo and self-publishing? Congratulations. That's pretty amazing. Doing any speaking engagements, promotions-- Are your books available at local venues? How about talks at the Libraries there?
Got book-URLS? Have you made any youtube promotion vids? (Do you have your characters use astrology?) IP: Logged |
