I am doing a lot of writing – working on my next full-length book of essays and on my next chapbook.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My intention is to get them completed by the end of the year. With the extra time at home I have these days, I think that is reasonable for me to accomplish.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While doing some work on a blog, I discovered an interview I did in December 2016.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am sharing this interview link with you today because it covers a good deal of information and tips .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Let me warn you, this is not a terrific interview – but it does give some good information for writers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I share my own inspirations about authors and books, and give back stories for some of the poems I read to the audience.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The other thing is that you will hear voices of other writers that you will recognize from the past.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One of them passed away, and others I’ve not heard about in some time and wonder where they are.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But, you might enjoy some of the topics I covered or the poems I presented. I was very new to reading my own work at this time, and I’ve learned how to read my poems better since 2016. This was recorded during the time I was working on my first book publication after losing my sight. I talk about that, and my rehab process, and my thoughts on getting work published. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lynda<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here is the link to it:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZye-6l00vI&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0NZq7CQe25tqy08TXdVJAJeMdJMbgoToqc0fuRyvaoFcdZJx_a1BJbuHE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZye-6l00vI&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0NZq7CQe25tqy08TXdVJAJeMdJMbgoToqc0fuRyvaoFcdZJx_a1BJbuHE</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'>My Books<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/first-snow-by-lynda-mckinney-lambert/">first snow, chapbook</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Star-Signs-New-Selected-Poems/dp/1075265436/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Lynda+McKinney+Lambert&qid=1570213785&s=books&sr=1-2">Star Signs: New and Selected Poems</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Inner-Vision-Stories-Poems/dp/B07S45ZY39/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Lynda+McKinney+Lambert&qid=1570213669&s=books&sr=1-1">Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Concerti-Psalms-Pilgrimage-Lynda-Lambert/dp/1929359187/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Lynda+Lambert&qid=1570213942&s=books&sr=1-6">Concerti: Psalms for the Pilgrimage</a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="Smashwords%20–%20get%20my%20e-book:%20%20https:/www.smashwords.com/profile/view/lyndalambert">E-books on Smashwords</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'>Social Media<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="https://www.amazon.com/author/lyndalambert">Lynda's Author Page at Amazon</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="http://www.dldbooks.com/lyndalambert/">Lynda's Page at DLD Books</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><a href="htttp://www.lyndalambert.com/">Lynda's Website & Blog</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'> <b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'> </span></i></b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
