Not sure how this works, but you should be able to read my book for free [Order Such Longing: A Poetry Collection from Amazon.Com] with a Kindle Prime account.



If you go to the WDC authors in print page, you should find other free or affordable e-books...

If you don't have Facebook, look here to see the prettiest girl at the dance:



Hopefully, her proud Daddy will keep it there for a bit! Wink

Our first father-daughter dance is one week away. How do you stoop to someone half your size who wants to be tossed about like a hyperactive ice skater and tries to lead? Planning a few more living room sessions before we go.

I don't own a corduroy jacket or leather briefcase. Maybe, I'm not the right writer for this conference. At least my hair's unkempt. No, it isn't.

Epiphany: I'm never going to be naive again, and I miss that. I felt more alive when I was vulnerable than the tired old skeptic I've become. Sticking with tried and true without the romance of taking a chance on something new doesn't mean you're wise but unwilling.
Note to self: Take a risk today.

I am overwhelmed by all the intensive reading and writing I've done in the past 45 minutes. Need to give my peepers a break before I read and respond more. Getting behind just when my personal life becomes more demanding.

Book sales soared a new high of five units sold. Some folks don't have kindles and want to see the collection in print. Does Amazon have a print on demand option, or do I have to go somewhere else? I rushed into this without considering my options. Any suggestions?

I have a temporary fix. I found an online software that was easy to use. So, if I need to change it again, I think it will be easy. Thanks for asking.

Just discovered Pixlr.com, but still struggling to make a cover that stands in the way of me self-publishing by Christmas. Taking a break from it now.

Some live life like it hasn't found them, left in the dark, and wonder about their self-worth and the meaning of existence.
Others seek out the world and explore each and every delightful avenue until their dying day knowing they can never fully experience everything there is to offer.

My suggestion for today: Find a happy medium

I clicked on the wrong thing and accidentally reported a scribble! I hate this notebook. No fun for a blind guy to tool around in, because it's so easy to mess things up. Wish I could have a warning before reporting someone, noting the possibility of human error. And now the post is gone and I can't get it back. sorry Elixar.

I hope to have sometime, somewhere along the way to hang out looking at your stuff here and elsewhere.

I do not have a journalism or similar degree but have within the past year or so written articles on ehow among other places and want to get better at it. I'm sure I can learn much from your writings.
