But Kitty, you must have used actual artificial food coloring for the blue, right? There is nothing that color in nature. Remember that George Carlin routine about "there no blue food"? LOL... no matter what it's made of, it's just adorable!

Yes, it's not all natural. It's just all vegan :)

Okay, all vegans and friends of vegans must go see Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. One of the Evil Exes has mystical vegan powers...

Hilarious.

Cute cake, BTW.

GREAT day today. I work insane hours and am always exhausted, but days like today make it totally worth it.

So..... brownies for everyone. And milkshakes too. And cakes with better-than-cream-cheese-NOT topping for Kitty. :D :D :D :D :D

yum, yum, yum. Thanks, Smish, for the treats. Have more of these days, okay?

And Kitty - LOVE your cake. I can't even make a two-layer cake cause the top one always slides sideways before i get it all frosted. So I admire anyone who can even do that!

Oh, lord, no more treats. The other first grade teacher had leftover birthday cupcakes. She gave me 2--one for me and one for my kid. Well, guess who didn't get one...

I'm so excited. Amazon has made my short story ebook FREE!
Appeartently the chose 50 books to make free and mine was one.
I don't know if they are going to pay me a commission or not (it would be 35cents). But I don't really care. I'm almost in the top 100 free download lists (128).
If you have a kindle grab it right away. I don't know how long this will last!

I'm doing a little happy dance right now :snoopy:

that's amazing! i don't have a Kindle, but can i just download it to my computer? i'll try ...

You can get Kindle for PC, but it's really not necessary. I just reached #90 on the list, so I've very (very) happy.

Thanks All! I took a screenshot of the Amazon page; I'm going to post it on the wall next to all my rejections =-)

Wow, mware, congratulations.

Thanks, I'm sitting at #48, with 2,000+ downloads in about 28 hours. The funny this is, this really don't translate into anything. The other authors, whose books are also free now, I've spoken with don't think we'll get commission for these "Sales".

Some of them have series, and now their other sales are spiking. But I'm going the traditional route (getting an agent), so I'll have to figure out how to leverage this.

It's just cool too see your ebook downloaded more than Gulliver's Travels, or The secret Garden. I'm almost beating out War and Peace ;)

Holly F&%K! Amazon says they are paying me commission for all 2876 copies of my little ebook! And that's just 1 and a 1/2 days. How long are they going to be giving it away? Seriously, this is like a dream.
I don't know what else to say. The commission is over a grand just for that time period and I'm selling well over 1,000 a day.
I hope they keep this promotion going!!!

Wow! That is amazing news!
I don't have a kindle, but I went over and read your story on smashwords--very entertaining! :) I hope my viewing counts as a download for you; couldn't tell for sure.
