The Air Is So Clean In The Valley!

The Air Quality Alerts have been gone for 3 days. It's so nice to see the foothills again. The fiasco with my book continues. Stress is a migraine trigger. Migraines trigger depression in me.

I Wish The Book Saga Would End.

As the days pass and I continue to find ways to state my case I become more depressed about the situation. I recently read if a deliverable is missing a part, in this case, the picture, the publisher is given time to fix it and I would still owe the money. But this goes deeper than the picture. The...

Baby Shower Was A Great Time!

I ordered Jessica's favorite cookie in mini size so each of her guests could have one. They are spendy but so delicious. I ordered from Crumbl Cookie. I think they are nationwide even though it originated in Logan, Utah. [It's a Mormon owned company. Mormon owned companies are easily identified... Sign in to see full entry.

A Big Day In The Melendez Household!

Today is the baby shower. When they were planning it there was controversy. The date and time conflicted with another family event.

There is one point that sums up my case and should be enough to get my money back. Here is the sentence. Your Custom Global... Sign in to see full entry.

Uneventful Day In The Treasure Valley!

As I expected I did not get an update on my book. I did find out that I'm within the time frame to file a claim, not sure it will be a fraud claim. All I know is there's a good case to get my money back even if it from my credit card company. I've paid enough interest over the years that I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

The Excitement Of Finally Reaching My Goal Of Publishing Is Fading!

I decided to give it a try to upload my book. I might not fully understand what to do. It's clear I'm on my own now since I wouldn't give them my access information. I've been watching tutorials until my brain is tired. When I uploaded the book, it was so messy and the concrete poems looked like... Sign in to see full entry.

I Ask AI To Analyze One Of My Poems! Astounding!

Pat_B left a nice comment on my post with the cover. She said she hoped my poems would end up being the focus of college poetry classes. I had never thought of anything like that.
