Idea for anthology

I think that's a great idea! Last week I looked at my list of newspaper articles and I hadn't realized it at the time but I wrote my fiftieth column on Dec 31 last year. I had the thought of putting the first fifty together into a book. I don't think I'll do it until I have something else out first, though. But it's on my list. I'm sure it won't be a big seller, but it could get a few people to my website that might not otherwise go, and could get me a little extra free press by the newspaper.

Is it called an anthology or a collection? I thought Anthology was a collection of writings from different authors? I'm still learning these terms.

I know Mom has a number of poems and short stories, though I don't know how many at this point. I'ts on my list to go through her writings and make a list of what I have so I'll know. I think I may be able to get one book of short stories and one of poems, but I'll have to see how they best go together once I know what I have.

I'm glad to have you to converse with too! Your ideas and the volume of posts are inspiring. I will say that you've put so much stuff on here that it will take me a while to get to it all, so if you ever post something you definitely want a response to or a conversation you want to have let me know. Otherwise, I might miss it amongst everything else.
