Weather in the Tries: Delightful!
Happy Labor Day:
Today is a holiday. I took yesterday “off” and spent it with some friends. We four sat outside and ate and gabbed and had a delightful visit. I’ve often wondered who labors the hardest, the “common laborer” who is truly anything but, or a mother. Both jobs are very hard work.
A friend emailed me the other day that he had purchased a copy of my new book, The Bride’s Gate and Other Assorted Writings and had read some of it, was delighted with it, and I of course immediately turned jealous! Happy, but jealous! I ordered books (plural) when the book was published, and I didn’t yet have them. So, I ordered one for me. It came. My friend Mary came, and she wanted to buy it. Since Mary is one of the reasons it looks so good (she did the final proof reading) I decided to part with it. After all, I have books (plural) coming. That’s the problem with POD books. If one orders more than one or two, it takes longer. sigh.
Jim, my friend reading the book, said he really likes that he can open it up to any page and find something interesting to read—poem, story, memoir. He said the lady who designed the book was really smart! 😉
Anyhow here is the lady who not only designed the book, but wrote it, too, with purple and pink hair, holding her one and only book that now lives with Mary 😉 Uh, no, she didn’t write it with purple and pink hair, she used a pen, paper, and or a computer. That is the Columbia River in the background of the second photo.
Just hung up the phone from talking with a publisher friend of mine, and she is calling back in a bit to interview me for her podcast, and newsletter. So today will be another busy day. Another day of labor. /snicker/
Also, I have finally figured out how to easily record and post short pieces, so you might want to check the Spoken Wordnow and then. I’ll put the latest recordings on the top of the list.
Am limiting myself to two 15-minute segments on Facebook. I set my timer, log in, and when the timer goes off, I log out. IF I’m writing something, I finish, then log out. Helps keep my blood pressure down, and my mood up. 😉
A Meme swiped from Facebook that I truly like. I think it is apropos to writers, readers, canners, etc. I am doomed.
