You didn't see the margarita maker? Judy hid it behind the pinball machine. Sneaky girl, that one.
Props to the crafty one who installed this super cool tire swing!
Figures I would come up with the prompt for the month NO ONE writes anything... Le sigh....
Me too, as long as they don't become infested with wasps, which this one will not because there are no wasps allowed in the bouncy house .I love tire swings.
Sorry Che--I doubt if I'll do it this month, but it's not because of your prompt, I promise!!! I'm doing NaNo, and that's about all I can manage right now. Plus, you know, all the other stuff life is flinging at me, like progress reports/parent teacher conferences, and prior commitments that cut into my writing time, and my daughter's minor car accident (everyone is fine, but it was still upsetting). I'll let the miniature world thing percolate, though... maybe I'll surprise myself! : )
Well, thanks to your castle-mate, Sissybaby, I have inadvertently wandered into this group. She emailed me regarding the great stroke of luck that mware discussed regarding his short story book. How marvelous is that? Very, sez I.
Since it's fairly warm and cozy in here, I think I'll rant for a few moments. I need something like that to happen to me and my writing efforts. I'm going to investigate smashwords and see what that's all about. I'm actually getting a bit tired of waiting for agents to make an offer on any of my middle grade novels.
I've been thinking lately of going the self-publishing or POD route. Maybe I could get some sales through Amazon. Or perhaps I should call up my years of experience in editing and proofing and offer that service to writers. Or my years of experience in graphic design design, layout and production art, purchase a new copy of Adobe InDesign for my Mac and set up a manuscript design and production service for other authors wishing to publish through Lightning Source or CreateSpace or other avenues.
Or maybe I should just take a nap since it's so quiet and comfy in here.
Speaking of the dreaded "R," I wrote a blog post yesterday on where publishing used to be and were it is now, along with my thoughts on where it may be heading.
The only reason I bring that up is because, as I was writing it, I recalled a memorable rejection I once received. And this will serve to illustrate how long I've been writing.
I won't spill the beans here, but if you'd like to take a minute to read THE POST, you may be surprised to see a VERY familiar name. Today I feel kind of honored that I was rejected by someone so famous. I would feel much better today if she had sent me an acceptance letter. LOL!
Good luck, Mike, and everyone else who heads into the Indie publishing arena. I'm thinking it may be the best option with the way things are heading.
Cool covers, mware01!
