Hello everyone! I'm sure about %0.0 of you care, but I'm happy to the point it's unhealthy!
As few, or none, of you know, I have aspirations to be a writer. Well, as fate would have it, I NOW OFFICIALLY AM!!! That's right, I'm going to be published! No, I'm not bringing a little chief fan into the world. I'm not a daddy, as many lucky fella's in here are. But I've given birth none the less. I've written a poem, and it's getting published! Most may not care, but my words inside of a hard bound novel are almost too much extasy for me to convey. Fan of poetry or not, a fellow chief fan is now officially a writer, and damned it, I'm too excited to keep it in! This brings me more joy than.....well, almost as much as would a chief super bowl. I'm just sooooo happy I'm to stupid for words. I'm telling anyone who'll listen, and damned it, you poor slobs almost feel like extended e-family. I'd buy you all a beer if I could!!!! |
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue, Brad is a Poet, Now how 'bout that Brew! Congratulations http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif |
Raising my eBeer to eToast Brad for his success!
Congrats, Brad. Im sure you'll let us know when and where we can find your book. |
Thanx guys! Book will be out winter of 2001 (whenever that is.) It's called "Nature's Echoes."
Cheesy, 'eh!?! Oh well, published is still published. And I can't say I'm not happy as hell. Most in here probably don't dig both poetry and football, and I wouldn't be surprised, but it's an undescribable feeling to have your own words printed in a hard cover book fer' all ta' see. 'Can't wait to see what it feels like... |
I'll read it as long as you don't claim to have invented poetry.
Congrats!<BR> |
I didn't invent it....Just tried to contribute to it!
I'm just starting to sober up....man.....I still can't believe it!!! |
That is great Brad. Congratulations.
------------------ Would rather be golfing |
Congradulations Brad. Its always refreshing to see someone reach a goal through hard work and persistence. Poetry is great. For your next book you should write a compilation which conveys the frustration it is to be a Chiefs fan 'lo these years.
Hmmm, what the hell rhymes with Grbac? [This message has been edited by DJay23 (edited 09-22-2000).] |
Sincere congrats Brad.
Luz may the ink in your quill never run dry... |
Brad - Congrat's on being published, it is good to see you reach your goals.
|
You're a poet and we didn't even know it.
Good job Brad! |
Wow, cool man. It's neat to see your name up in lights!!! I hope this is just the beginning of many good things for ya Brad. Good luck in your writing...<P>

Congrats Brad!!! I'm sure that your one heck of a great writer to get published. The publishing company must put out a lot of money for this so it is a big risk for them. For them to have chosen to publish your work is a HUGE accomplishment. Again, Congrats!!
The closest that I ever came to your accomplishment was to have one of my Writing Professors in College share one of my poems with his classes. That felt great, but I can't imagine how you feel. If you can, maybe you could share one of your unpublished works with us? http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/cool.gif http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/cool.gif http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/cool.gif http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/cool.gif ------------------ GO CHIEFS!!!! |
Congrats Brad. I've been published several times in an Oracle mag so I know what you mean about the 'rush' of seeing your name in print.
Enjoy the ride and be sure to have 'em punch your ticket for the next go-around. |
I wonder if Poe was this excited the first time he was published?
Congrats, Brad! That's quite an accomplishment! I'm sure your family is quite proud! |
