Just a short note to state that Twitter has helped me to connect to some amazing opportunities in the areas that interest me - Writing and Marketing. It was a slow start but I have uncovered a great wealth of people and possibilities. I have never had so much help with so little asked for in return. I am hoping to slowly work towards being more of a giver than a receiver, but for me at the moment it is a learning curve. Suffer me with my thanks.
Twitter Works For Me
June 7th, 2009
Salute to Chris and Naomi
June 1st, 2009You wander around the internet for a long time and eventually you will meet some people who actually want to help you without first thinking about how you can help them. Well, thank you to Naomi Kramer http://freefictiononline.wordpress.com and Chris Poirie http://webfictionguide.com - Both lights at the end of some tunnel.
Twitter Works - onlinefiction
May 27th, 2009I have taken the time to explore twitter and get to know a little about the ins and outs. If you look hard enough and scrutinize your follows carefully enough you can get in touch with some good knowledgeble people and garner some good info. Two thank yous today - one to Mayal and one to Onlinefiction for helping me with some questions about ebooks and copyright.
Find My Tongue
May 13th, 2009For years I have hidden inside myself and now I am finding my tongue. I can speak and there are actually people out there talking to me. No longer ‘Dead Man Walking’.
Some New Friends
May 13th, 2009Have been busy learning how to Twitter and I have found that there are alote of people out there. Still don’t know how to use it effectively, but it certainlyis a good source of communication.
Thank you to Kasia and Jennifer. A person can start to think that no one is out there. They are. Thanks again.
He’s not just any old sociopath - Howie Morgan is my sociopath - And he really existed.
April 30th, 2009People seem to have trouble with the language in ‘Last Of The Good Guys’. My question for them is, what rock have they been living under? LOTGG is the way of the world. How it was and how it was said. My other question is, how can you write a character without writing all of that character. No fancy shmancy (Thanks Dan) skipping of how it was said. Sorry, but if Howie Morgan said ‘fuck’ a lot and did too many drugs and anything else he could get his hands on - then that’s who he was. If he was a chronic sociopath then so be it. In fact I consider Howie to be one of my favorite characters. He might have been a bad guy but, what you saw was what you got with Howie.
Maybe someone might like to comment on the other aspects of the story itself. This is about mud and blood southeast Texas. They talk that way. We aren’t at a young ladies finishing school here.
Broaden your horizons a bit, most of the world stinks - That’s just how it is. Get out there and smell it a bit, maybe you will appreciate how you are among the 5% who don’thave to smell it every day. Good for you.
If LOTGG upsets you then step back from ‘Eat The Dead (due out in 18 months) because it is full of real pigs, resmorseless rapin’ and killin’ type pigs. Yeah, real people with real attitudes.
This is a tight peice of work. More happens in 7 days than probably happens in lots of peoples’ lives.
Check it out, unless you don’t like reality.
Hold What For How long?
April 30th, 2009Hold everything. Twitter is working on my website. Eat The Dead is on hold. Marketing is on hold, a very frustrating proposition. It’s Canada and the sun is finally shining and I think I will put everything on hold except the sunshine. Gonna get me some. It ain’t here for long.
There is no doubt that no matter how well you tell a story you will ultimately have to become a business person to have any kind of success.
Twitter won’t work.
April 29th, 2009My twitter won’t work on my web page. Any techies out there with suggestions?
Another Part Of Texas
April 27th, 2009People seem to be surprised that anyone from Texas would use the word ‘fuck’ in a sentence. Well they do! and if you would like to get a taste of a part of Texas you probably aren’t aware of then check out - ‘Last of the Good Guys’. Yes, Howie Rupert ‘mother fuckin’ Morgan’ swears a lot - but there is a lot more to the story besides Howie’s bad mouth.
If you’re broke, email me at Impresspress@bell.net and I will send you a copy. Just promise me you will pass it on when you’re done.
Home Again - Already miss the Turks and Caicos
April 15th, 2009Turks and Caicos is a beautiful place. My man Duke owns this incredible villa - Most beautiful place I ever was. The company was pretty good as well. I got some surprising input from The Duke on my work in progress; material to move forward with. Also the place itself rested, refreshed and reflected me. I am ready to go after draft # 2.
If you ever travel to Turks and Caicos - I know the place to stay
Yahoo.
