A Big Thank You To Everybody!

 

I was working my "Rule of  Five" today on the internet.  I learned this technique from marketing guru John Kremer. It just means you do five things everyday to market your novels.

 

I work the social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc) as part of my everyday "Rule of Five" routine.

Well, I decided to check the numbers…

Everyone makes choices, some good, some not so good.  The difficulty lies in learning to live with them.  I learned the long-term effects of one bad choice that led my life into a downward spiral. 

My sharpest memories were shrouded in darkness, and no amount of hope for the future could change the past.  I wanted to find my reset button, but the only thing I could do was put one foot in front of the other and continue onward, hoping each cloud had a silver lining. 

This is not…

Umaalis nalang palagi dumarating pag may kailangan

Bisyo nyay kumain  at matulog ng walang haggan

Snabero ito at nang aaway kung wala sa mood 

Ref

Bakit ka ganyan

Di kita pinalaking ganyan

Walang magawa sa buhay kundi matulog nalang

Chorus:

Pusa kong mataba lumalaki sa kanyang mga gawa

Kumakain at natututulog sa araw araw na pamumuhay

Walang problema at iniisip ang pusang ito

Sya ngayoy…

   A book about a light in the dark.

while the entire universe waits for the morning rise, some one out there is working it out with the dark rays. could be a blessing to have an easy schedule out when the moonlight appears on time to help!

   It mostly centers on true African culture. Definitely; there has to be a 'light' a hope in the dark, somewhere, somehow, only if you search.

Can barely contain myself..so hopping mad!

Today, while checking on my distribution sites, came up with one not on my list of designated retailers.

This company is selling copies of my e-book without permission. Adding insult to injury, their price is DOUBLE what mine is going for via legal sites.

These criminals are sitting back, collecting money for something I sweated blood creating, with no intention of passing along a royalty check any time…

Hi,

I live in the beautiful state of Alaska with my family where the spirits of animals and men roam free.

I am married to a wonderful man and we have three children and foster girls which brings us joy. 

I am currently a full-time college student and I write inspirational poetry. I have…

“Bad decisions make good stories.”

I'll wager you are thinking of several bad decisions in your life and how those could be turned into a short story or a scene in a novel. You may have to change the names/locations/dates to protect the guilty (and save yourself a lawsuit) or you may have to embellish the facts a bit to make the anecdote play out a little better in written…

Each day we awake, we should feel oh so new.  It is just amazing that God has blessed us to live to see another beautiful day.

We should all be so grateful.  The thoughts of love and harmony should embrace our inner beings and our souls.  It is wonderful

and magnificent to be able to get up out of that bed…

Sound familiar? Dr. Seuss wrote the poem as an inspiration and promise to children.

Writers go to many places, often inside our heads but sometimes to book signings, conferences, libraries and Starbucks. Usually we pay our own…

I'm a legally blind writer who is seeking advice, help, and sponsorship. Please visit the link above to view my video.

  I was asked to choose a quote from my first novel, A Brownstone in Brooklyn, to reflect on the unpredictable nature of life. How things are never the same and human beings have to adjust to life’s…

Wow its been so long since I was last on here I hope everyone is well and having loads of creativity happening. So quick update believe it or not but I have almost finished my 1st novel! Yes you read right so no need to rub your eyes in shock :-) I have around 17,000 words left to write and then finally book 1 will be complete. Its kind of sad though wonderful as I have been dragging my heels for so long. So I've changed the name and series the new title for…

Everybody who experimented any kind of  loses,from earthquake to death of someone loved,  put himself the question: Why me? Am I  guilty , am I blamed or I made a mistake in my life?

Those and other many philosophical questions about what our brains are, who we are, and why we're asking these questions all of our fears in life can be traced back to the most fundamental one: not knowing who we are.

And therefore, the goal of higher states of…

Today, I’m celebrating (as it were) my one week anniversary of my new home…in a camper trailer while I look for more permanent lodging. Here in Iowa, it’s been rainy and cool.…

Where were they she thought, the voices, they were supposed to join me after breakfast. Something small flying about near the ceiling high above caught her eye, she’d not expected to see flies in a place like this. She fixed her gaze on it there was something strange about it, that shimmer... As it got bigger and came slowly closer Delia was horrified to see it was a frightened…

    Recently, I was driving and passed the empty Borders bookstore building at the corner of Ronald Regan Parkway and 124 in Snellville, Georgia.

      I slowed down, turned into the parking lot. I opened the car door and walked up to the front door.

      I stared inside at the empty space.…

Greetings, I am new here and just looking around trying to get a feel for the site itself. About me... I am writer and artist. I write anything from plays, novels, short stories, poetry, and children stories and my art and my writing questions and challenges the 'Human Realities of this world'. The best way I can sum it up, just that it is all very involved. I raise questions of the human potential and those prospects of possibilities that may or may not be inflicted and imposed on the…

SPAMMING THE SPAMMERS

Got up this morning and did the first thing I’ve done every day since the computer age began. I checked my email. Not much there from family or friends that needed a reply.…

Fifth wasn’t aware she was drifting off to sleep but soon she was asleep and began to dream. She was a hawk, high in the air circling the village, lazy in its attempt to find prey. A rabbit ran across her path and she swooped down on it and just as she was about to grab it in her talons it turned to look up at her.

‘Oh Dee, Dee, I knew you’d come.’ And Fifth…
