Still Digitally Challenged!!!

Hi all... Sorry for long blogging hiatus. Life has intervened! Have finally learned how to upload a photo of myself on She Writes. Now, alas... a red word appears beside both my email address, and password. CHANGE! Oh, no! Does anyone know what that means, and why I have to change them?? Hope you have all read my blog 'SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY: A CAUTIONARY TALE.' A reminder to all sister writers. Get everything in writing vis a vis contracts. Protect yourselves! Any questions…See More

Oh, I hate to address this question myself, Kiana. I put news like this on my home page - along with book covers and links to my website. And where it comes up appropriately in conversation, I'd certainly mention it. But I get so excited about this kind of news that I think I do work it in perhaps more than I should. It's tricky, isn't it? Esp. in this difficult market.

Thanks, it was lovely - and very productive! And thanks for talking up Poets & Writers on the thread. It's such a great magazine.

It did, as did your comment on the Julia Glass post. I so agree with you about just keeping at it, which is why I started the blog. I had a very long and rocky start, and am so glad I had wonderful writing pals to help me through it all. :-)

If you have time, do cut and paste your comment on my blog, where the post originally appeared. It's at http://megwaiteclayton.com/1stbooks/?p=2007

And thanks for taking the time to comment!

Meg

I'm a visitor from Germany interested in Hawaiian culture and history. I found your account here, and I'd like to ask you a specific question about your novel "Song of the Exile". I added some information from the chapter "Ke Alana" to the article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shangri_La_%28Doris_Duke%29

in Wikipedia. I'd like to know, if this really is a reference to the construction of "Shangri La" and if it is based on local or family tradition.

Thanks in advance for your efforts, Thomas (thtblnATyahoo.de)
