On Line Publishing: Trial and Error

I wondered a bit, but since I noticed that sharing poems on line can be great, but not all sites allow creative content.

For example: it does not work on Factoidz and Bukisa.

But I have a lot of poems I kind if re-edited and turned into a 68 page book.

It are mostly my dark poems about painful moments in my life, but expressing them and bringing them out, kind of helps me.

Now I do feel poetry reads better on paper than on screen. That is why I feel that publishing some poems in book form might not be a bad idea.

I do not expect a big selling hit, but I also made a download content availble, for people who like to print it out themselves, or have an e-book reader.

My first bundle “Unfulfilled Love” is ready to hit the public. I already spread some test pdf to test readers and found out that the first impressions are positive.

Yes, it are kind of dark, sad poems, but somehow I still like them. Some are here on line, but I might have re-edited them a bit before publication, so the one in the book will be even better.

I remember my Dutch books did not sell there, but I admit they were not well written and I am happy they are off line now.

But I like to make a fresh start on Lulu with poetry bundles and maybe a novel in the future.

Here some poems included in the bundle:

http://authspot.com/poetry/the-curse-of-love/

http://authspot.com/poetry/how-do-i-survive/

They might not be my most cheerful poems, but yet,  I did write them to share.

This one

I re-edited in two poems, starting with Psychic Burden, since it made more sense to me that way.

You can see the preview of the book here. For the moment it is only on direct access, but I am planning on making it general access pretty soon.
