Writing Contests

Today I entered an interesting writing contest. They are HINT stories. 25 words or less. You tell a story in 25 words that is a complete story and yet HINTS at a much bigger story. Very Cool and NOT near as easy as you would think!

Traditional Publishing -vs- E-Publishing?

Wow! I'm not sure about all of you ..., but I have been reading an enormous amount of information about on-line publishing and how it is affecting Authors, Publishers, Book Stores, etc.
 I feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the information. I am DETERMINED to submit, submit, submit!!! This is my year to give it my best shot!   So, I have decided to submit BOTH ways and see what types of responses come my way.  I will let you all know how things go.

What are YOUR thoughts on all of the hoopla going on right now?


Personally, I have mixed emotions....I feel a bit upset about people publishing for $.99 & $1.99. I feel it hurts ALL of us to put your hard work out there for so little. At the same time, I know for many people Writing is more a Business and the quicker they make money ...., well ......, In this economy can I blame them??? Aurgh! I find it so frustrating!
Keep Smiling and Keep Writing!   : )

Apologies......

I'd like to send out my apologies for not posting on a regular basis. I've been ill.
 I'm feeling better now and almost finished my "Doctoring" so I hope to get back on track!
 Take Care and Keep Writing!   : )
