NEW TODAY
Starting today this newsletter, Scene Break, will be new and different. I'm going to write a few things, but I won't be following the same design as I did before. Today's writing will appear as a newsletter and on my blog (Meanderings) page. Here's the link: https://www.monamehas.net/blog

Hey folks, I have only 28 subscribers to Scene Break. Please share with any of your friends who you think might be interested.
I have been talking to different publishers, both online and by email. One small press was just beginning and was excited to see what I had. I sent her two chapbooks and a mini zine.
Others who publish fiction are opening now. I've submitted my novel, Under the Bubble at least four more places. I'm currently still in the rewriting phase with the second novel, Dreams to Visions.
I am having a problem falling asleep. Example, last night I slept for about seven hours, which is great. But when I am at the laptop for a little while, I can't keep my eyes open. I try to nap and too many times I can't. Not sure how to fix this.
I have composed and folded a little eight-page zine called War Poems. I wrote it a few years ago and have tried about a million places but no one wanted to publish it so I did it myself. Instead of a card today, I've attached the photo of the cover of War Poems. Inside are six poems. On the back is my bio. I am hoping to sell these for $3.50. I have Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and square. I haven't been able to figure out how to put the square app on my website through Authors Guild. Until I do, contact me here if you want a copy
I've a couple new publications. One is an excerpt from my book, Hand-Me-Downs. Also, an anthology by Spell Jar Press is due any day.
Nothing new on the Star Trek front. I went back to rewatching Voyager. All of the episodes have meaning and teach us something.
Gotta wrap this up. My eyes are shutting, and I have a poetry reading online in less than an hour.
