Yesterday as I was surfing the net, I decided to pop Acai Berry into the search box. I thought I would see what the cost was for this little berry that has everyone in an uproar to determine whether it would be something to try to get me through the holidays without gaining a few more unwanted pounds. I’ve decided … Read More
Reviewing the Lulu Way
I have a new activity that will be occupying part of my time, which is writing book reviews for the Lulu Book Review. I always enjoy reading and this will give me an opportunity to read more and different types of work. Another good thing is that I will be helping to promote self-published writing and will be able to give encouragement to my fellow authors.
Upgrade to Griffie World
Me and my bright ideas. I keep coming up with ideas that seem to entail a whole lot of work on my part. I am going to have to talk myself into some ideas that require less work on my part one of these days. Anyway, the latest, greatest idea is requiring a complete upgrade of the Griffie World website, … Read More
A Labor Day Break
With today being part of a holiday weekend, I really didn’t get to accomplish much today in the way of writing, marketing, etc. I’ve mulled over some ideas, but that has been about the extent of things.
Being Compared to Judy Blume
I am drifting on a cloud. . . my work has been compared to Judy Blume. Now, that may not seem like a big thing to some, but I remember a time when Judy Blume was THE author for young adult books, when the concept of young adult was in its infancy. I have just received a review of my … Read More
Joining Facebook
I joined my first social networking site today – FaceBook. So far, I am finding it a little frustrating, because they categorize groups and finding friends in a different manner than I would and the search functionality to me is a little cumbersome. Other than that, we will see. My reason for joining was that Flamingnet.com, the young adult review … Read More
Coloring Page
I had a brainwave today and have been able to put it together and get it posted to the website already. As I was driving along on my way to the dentist, I realized that I had a black and white copy of the cover of Misfit McCabe which would make an excellent coloring page companion piece to the book. … Read More
Will Wonders Never Cease
Upon signing on to my computer after work today, I found that I had actually become a prize winner. Now mind you, I never win prizes. I enter contests from time to time, but wins usually don’t come my way. So, I was absolutely delighted to win a copy of John Kremer’s 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, which is … Read More
Perspective
Interesting happening today (well to me anyway). Last night I wrote and posted an article on Author’s Den about the Lulu Book Review site. The intent of the article was to make the author’s at Author’s Den aware of the site. When you are a POD (print on demand) author, it is sometimes difficult to get a review for your work. I was very pleased to find this site, especially since it looks so well put together and already a lot of information is appearing on it for such a new site.
Dancing a Jig
I am so jazzed to have completed the posting of the 17 articles that I have written (so far) that are geared for Young Writers. I wanted to get that off my plate before really getting into the purpose of this blog which is to talk about writing, the writing process, my novels, articles, etc. Reformatting them for the blog … Read More
