Success! Anonymity at last with Constant-Content
Anyone who reads this blog will perhaps know or remember that I placed six articles on the Constant Content website late last year. I made a few mistakes in doing so, and had to change and re-list the pieces, but eventually I was as happy as a pig in the brown stuff – for a few days…… ….until I...

I've finally started working on the chapter....
....or, how to go bankrupt as a writer. I’ve reduced the first set of notes I took for the beginning of this chapter from 2,376 to 1,161. In the process, which has been driving me crazy over the last day and a half, I think I have added more information and more funnies. I have spent most of the...

What's happening in Blogitland?
Well, that’s that 3,458 word chapter finished to my temporary satisfaction. I still have to insert a few paras at the end of it to lead into the next chapter which I think will be the trip to New York. That should be an interesting experience as there are 10,712 words in the notes I took when we...

Revelation
Over the past few weeks, between present hunting, entertaining, and visiting, I have been trying to write a chapter of the book, without much success. The whole system has been irritating me no end. [After reading the first sentence, and bearing in mind it is a new positive year, I should really...

Constant Bye-Bye
The number of paragraphs I wrote during the Christmas weekend could be counted on a thumb joint. The email I was going to send to the Literary Agent before Christmas? It’s still here, unsent but not unloved. I have spent more time on this damned email/letter than on many a blog. First of all I made...

Constant Content??
As far as I can make out from me peering into dusty corners, Constant Content is an excellent name for the website; the articles appear to be Constantly there giving the website lots of Content. Of course it could be me, but I can appreciate why gomedome is wondering about the site’s self...

Five more articles uploaded to Constant Content
I must admit that uploading another 5 articles to Constant Content shows me up as the lazy sod I have always known I am. What I did with CC was upload 4 articles under one pen name and then log on with a different pen name and upload another 5. The first four articles were humorous in the Dave Barry...

What a Plonker
First of all, I decide to send a short-short story to Badgerdog Publications, as mentioned in SincerityAnna’s blog, so I log on to the site and check it out. Then I peruse all the short-short stories that I have clogging up my PC memory – not to mention mine. I decide to sent the short about the...

Constant Content Acceptance.
Getting the articles accepted took a long time, due to my own lack of forethought. I uploaded the three articles which CC rejected. This time CC sent them back because of ‘typos.’ TYPOS??? How dare they say I have any ………….oops….. I forgot it was an American company. Did you know that America...

Rejected by Constant Content as Well?
All yesterday afternoon I spent looking up old (for ‘old’ read ‘unpublished.’) articles for the possibility of uploading them to the Constant Content website. This of course meant editing them to get them up to date, as nobody is interested nowadays in how I learned to grunt as I threw the first...
