Wednesday, April 16, 2003The self-publishing optionI'm thinking of writing a book and self-publishing it. Yep, you read right - self-publishing a book. It's a daunting adventure, one I plan on taking one step at a time, but I hope to have it on the shelf by this time next year. I figure that by putting it on the Blogging Network, I'll take it ever...

There is a simple reason for this. Yesterday's post in I am here and I am not silent reminded me graphically of some things I've been working hard to try to forget over the years. As a result, I'm going to have to take a...

I had just turned ten maybe eight weeks before, and I was thrilled, of course. But Dad got stuck at work for I don't know how long (and I don't remember). Had to sleep...

That's why I'm posting here, and that's why I'll be posting on this topic in I am here and I am not silent (from another perspective). Jacobs provides a link to an article detailing the release of children from Iraqi prisons....

You are risking your life for me in the Middle East, at the behest of President Bush. In return, my tax money pays for the Veterans' Administration and the benefits that administration provides. It really...

Here goes, from my perspective: 6. Companies that refuse to hire enough help to keep things running smoothly. I was at my local Borders tonight, and...

I got the equipment glitch corrected and am now fully operational. I'm also grateful there was a Kinko's nearby to help make it possible for me to update at least one blog. It's nice to know I have a backup. Nurse Garfield informs me that new field notes...

I'm typing this at my local Kinko's - my phone is completely out (as in, no dial tone, and I've paid at least my full past-due balance). Therefore, if you don't see me for the next 24 hours, that's why (not that it matters...

I have a whole lot of hunches as to who I think is in Hell (the Christian version, that is), but I'm unwilling to say just what those hunches are. Since this blog seems to be staying at the top of the New Posts heap for a while, I'd like people to think about this...

Why? I feel kids get cheated out of legitimate research opportunities just because we are afraid of being offended. Let us suppose that my daughter wishes to go to the local public library to research... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 7:18 PM Comments (0) (link) |
