Self-Publishers Anonymous
A support and informational group for people who are currently, who have in the past, or who plan to self-publish. The aims of the group will be to swap information on all aspects of self-publishing from good editors and cover artists you've used in the past and how to make your own book trailer to swapping services (like editing) to help reduce the heavy financial burden of self-publishing.

VERIZON, Your Friendly Phone Company
I had the strangest experience yesterday. I needed to contact Verizon to change something on my Caller ID and I tried to do it online to no avail. You end up going in a circle and becoming very frustrated.Then I checked the pages at the front of my telephone book and there was a Verizon number for resident phones, so I called it. They said that the number I dialed was now defunct, and they dictated a new number to call. I wrote it down.I called the new number, and a very friendly voice said,…See More

Jakey
Pets! Wide-eyed children bring them home or beg parents for them and promise to take care of them. The parents relent, allow the beast in the door, and guess who ends up taking care of them? The mother. That’s how I got stuck with Jakey, the cat from hell.
Jakey was a nervous, nasty, complaining and demanding cat. He ate like there was a famine in the land, and so fast that he’d throw up and then come back for more…

It was Friday when I tuned a beautiful new Schimmel Grand that was a generous gift to the church from the family that had also donated a full pipe organ. The piano was being tuned for a concert the next night. The pianist had impressive credits; born in Europe, he had a double major in Classical Performance and Jazz Studies and had performed all over the world.
Right after tuning the Schimmel, I tuned a rebuilt…

Nichole L. Reber said… Blogs help you market yourself and also can serve as an outlet for daily writing. Try Google's blogger or WordPress (the latter is more popular but the former might be easier).

Justine Alia said… - That is kind of you dear Lucille. It's in the works, gaining momentum as we speak, and without taking away all of what I love. That's the beauty of doing what we know best.
Blessings to you as well, Justine :-)

Sally Diane Franz said… - Regarding Jaeky and the puke. I have a lovely sister who took me in after my second divorce. Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth I had to tolerate her 3 evil white cats. One in particular always knew when I was writiing. I was pulling my hair out trying to come up with a funny blog around 11pm when I heard a crunch sound behind me. (My sister worked nights) I turned around to see blood pumping out of a headless mouse onto a rather expensive round hooked rug. After screaming every obscenity I knew I folded the rug taco style and ran out back flinging its contents into the night. The next day I saw the carcass impaled on a holly hedge. I wonder if this is how Hitchcock got started?
