• It was easier to figure out where to market written work back when I actually had contact with people in the local publishing concerns. Granted I was writing for smallish circulation magazines under various pseudonyms and sometimes with no byline at all but atleast I was getting words in print out there in the world. I miss those days.

Just thought I'd make a quick post here to let everyone know I'm still around. Things are mostly okay. I'm dealing with high blood pressure and hopefully a medication that actually works can be found soon. It's always been on the high side but for the last year or two it's been excessively so ( Read more... )

If I haven't yet I'd like to say thank you to those of you who answered my question regarding cell phones from some months back. I'm still using the phone I've been using since 2008. It's the second cellular phone I've ever owned. I used my first phone for over 10 years. I wonder if that's some kind of a record? I kind of miss the heft of that ( Read more... )

It looks to be a nice Saturday and here I sit waiting for a few phone calls. The oven is finally fixed so I'm thinking about celebrating by baking something. Will have to figure out what I have the ingredients to make. At any rate that's one less repair to worry about ( Read more... )

I've decided for the nonce that I'm going to try to post every week. There isn't much to say this week. I'll just address a couple things and we'll see what else comes to mind if anything ( Read more... )

On the off chance anyone might be interested. As some may recall I made a post about considering going with something electronic to replace the latest paper notebook. I've been using hardbound blank books since the late 80s as a combination journal and notebooks. I have very nearly an entire shelf full of these that are filled with my scribblings.

Health issues seem to be alright. I'm still having sinus issues but changing urologists last year really helped with that other issue. It always works better when the doctor is treating you for the condition you have rather than something he's imagining. I need to find a good ENT specialist who's accepting new patients ( Read more... )

Selling books is hard! I can find lots of places that'll do trades, where I give them my books and they give me other books. Trouble is I want to clear shelf space not change their contents. [sigh]

Hey all. I'm looking to clear off a shelf or two by selling the books on them. What are some good places that buy books in the Atlanta Metro area? I want to reduce the amount I'll be lugging with me the next time I move, which hopefully will be later this year or at some point in the first half of 2010. Also would like to get some cash ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again. The air feels strangely damp and the temperatures from the beginning of the week vary from very warm to kind of chilly. One is never sure whether to flip the switch between the air conditioner and heater settings or to just suffer it out for the conditions to change. Though for me, I favor to air conditioner for ( Read more... )
