It would be a 15 minute sprint at 2100.
does anyone here know about publishing?

Before you do anything, do a lot of research and every publisher will be different. As for going to the traditional publisher, I know you have to get a query letter and usually it will state it on the website. For self publishing, you have to pay for most of the expenses for your book.

I would go through the reviews for the website and make sure their certificates are updated because there are fake websites out there. Before calling a publisher, make sure they accept calls from authors.
Scifiwizard Retired Author Icon - The people I''m working with didn't seem to hear me all the times I said 'No' to publishing I'm poor. someone told me to go through a company and it was only $2. a book. This company want's $20 a book and I'm poor. I told them how poor I am. sigh Ive been cheated so many times.
LinnAnn -Book writer Author Icon - That is why you always check a company with the Better Business Bureau. Read the complaints posted about these companies. Even if one is genuinely trying to help, word of mouth is not always accurate.
I have inactive ladies at church, and some stuck in nursing homes. I should have picked an easier stamp to print up Halloween cards, This is taking a long tie to color all of the cards to make, sheesh.

Here is an idea. Make the cards uncolored so those who send them to can color them.
Sorry, so those who you send them to can color them.
It is a super sweet thought! And I like Scifiwizard Retired's idea. Or you can just color part of it and leave the rest for them? And some things are simply "finished" as partly colored. I've seen that before with an interesting look.

Best of luck to you. You have such a wonderful heart! *Heart*
MY goal today is to get the table cleaned off and set it pretty for Halloween. lol It didn't used to take this much out of me. sigh

An image to use when I want to let someone know I stopped by to say hi
I meant to fry my potato and ended up with potato chips for breakfast under my fried eggs. I even set the timer. sigh
I start feeling better and then the sadness is overwhelming and my heart is broken all over again.

Scifiwizard Retired Author Icon - made me smile. lol thanks a bunch
So since my husband annulled our marriage, but he is in my book series, should I kill him off or have him disappear? It is a kids series. If he disappears,, there is hope he will return?
  •   4 comments
I would say disappear but he's never been found either.
well, since it's a kid's series I'll take Disappear.
What is, is. What isn't, doesn't bear discussion.

I would never presume.
What do I do? The person I used to rent a room to has destroyed all bur 2 of my novels. I got the first in the series redone. It was in the trash, the nanowimo one, But the 2nd one, Pioneer dragon, my favorite, she took the last half off. I cannot remember all the stunts and tricks we put in it and my now ex husband/ never husband, will not return my calls and won't help me rewrite it. He has a phone that can pull up anything. I don't know what to do.

I sent you a mail!
I've searched so hard and cannot find the 2nd half of my Pioneer Dragon. The ex roomer is threatening to sue me for suggesting she destroyed my novels, but she's already destroyed 4.

You maybe can restore or recover lost or deleted files by setting your computer to an earlier date?
WakeUpAndLive~doingNaNo'24 Author Icon -I called a friend and left a message. I need help. The 2nd novel was my favorite but my now ex husband helped me find the data etc. He was so helpful back then. I can't find what i need and the brain damage is getting a bit worse.
I think that the ex roomer changed my pass codes etc on my lap tops. I can't get into the other two computers to see if the books are there. Can anyone help me?

Check the hint.
I think the 'roomer' deleted from every book I wrote. All of them are missing 20K at the end and on he lap tops they are gone. I'm so depressed.

LinnAnn,

I am so sorry that your writing keeps getting lost.

Why are you not saving it here on the site? Set everything to private. You can still see it, but it doesn't count as published.

Posts like this one are becoming more frequent and it is heartbreaking to see.

Please use this site to help save your writing. Back up everything that you still have today!

And don't allow anyone to use your laptop. The roomer should go to a public library and use their internet for their personal things. Lock the laptop with a password and lock it up in your bedroom in a safe drawer.

It's 2:30 a.m. My son (55) came home from the bar he works at with about 10 friends.......How am I going to sleep with that many people outside my bedroom window? He did get me a newer picnic table. My husband at the time was tearing mine apart. I will try to go back to sleep. I will have a hard time staying awake at church. sigh

My cat likes to jump onto my bed just as I am falling asleep and lay with me. He jumps off just as i am falling asleep again. I just closed my door and am going back to bed
Happy 14th WDC Anniversary, LinnAnn.
