Re:
Financially, it might not profit greatly but it would be good for your mind and soul, perhaps.

Thanks for the info.  I thought a about publishing poetry through an org. but wondered if I would ever profit at this point.

POSTIVE: I like you are in that time in my life where I would like to make some kind of mark. I have been writing since I was very young. I was told in school, that I should just give it up. I couldn't stop my imagination from coming into my head and knocking around til I penned it to paper. With self-publishing availablity, I can enjoy my thoughts that had been cooked up by my head on paper. Plus I will leave something to my daughter to say hey, anything is possible.

Negative: Marketing and distrubution are things that I will have to work on. I haven't been published a whole lot, so my name can't carry any weight. I will have to see how this progresses, as I just recently (within the last month) finished downloading my work to Lulu. So this part is still getting added daily..

 Advice: Don't have a whole lot yet, to help...I am starting out myself...Though I can say why not try...It is worth it isn't it?

Money: So far I haven't had to pay anything yet. Though I haven't got my first proof copy yet either. I can more as I go..

I think the Blogit idea is a great one!
