My interest in reporting the progress of the book Taking Tanka Home has dwindled to the point of repeated proofings of the new edition. All boring stuff for other ears so I have been 'suffering along in silence' all by myself. Actually the work with Aya goes so well I haven't even had a chance to suffer. She has been so great! but we are still having problems with the program putting line spaces between the English and the kanji - boring I know!
Then, today I found this challenge at a river of stones and thought that would give me a new stream of ideas for this page. So on January 1 I plan to start the exercise. Join me if you will!

  1. Hi Jane,

    I'd love to hear more about your book. I've been blogging tanka for over a year now (amazing to reach that one year mark). I want to do something with it, but I'm not sure what. I've been thinking about selecting tanka and creating a prose nonfiction piece around them. A collection of some sort. Would love for you to share your experiences collecting.

    All the best,
    Carmella

  2. Carmella,
    I found a very good company called Blog2print. They make a book out of your blog. It is a bit too pricey for distribution, but is well work the money to get all that good blogging into a book on your shelf. I hope this helps! \o/ Jnae
