I’d like to play with the words in my title, using Whole instead of Hole. Even though it will be grammatically incorrect, it implies a double meaning to readers.
I am afraid if people try to order it they will not know what to type in, or may misspell the real title. What should I do?
“I’m absolutely perfect for that position.” I’ve had that thought after reading a job ad more times than I can count – only to sit around waiting for an offer that never comes. Relying on landing that golden opportunity can cost a freelancer valuable income, so I’ve learned to toss my hat into many rings […]
When we get back to Bangor, we’ll have the RV guys check:
The windshield wipers (they keep stopping in the middle of the window when you turn them off)
The quarter-panel on the passenger side (it came loose and is currently being held on with duct tape)
The slides (they are squeaking, and probably need a good greasing)
The air conditioner (the filters need to be changed)
And, the big one – our huge plug that we use when plugging into the power at campgrounds is melting. Yes, you read that right…

Hugs to all!

P.S. WANT TO REMEMBER YOUR PAST, AND WRITE ABOUT IT?
HOW TO REMEMBER, WRITE AND PUBLISH YOUR LIFE STORY
Using Angela’s MEMORY TRIGGERS, recall memories that have been dormant for years, and record those memories in chronological order in your memory notebook. Using the memory notebook as your outline, write your autobiography! **Also works for biographies and memoirs.**
After reading the entries for each contest, we can see how difficult it is to come up with a unique plot when working with an assigned topic. But, inevitably, a few writers do manage to successfully break away from the pack.
So, sit back, relax, and take a break from your busy day…by being stuck in a stifling room with a hot iron.
Letters will return next week.
Are you familiar enough with Biblical principles to write 100-400 words revolving around a scripture passage? If so, you can earn up to 20 cents per word with the single publication of a Christian devotional.
A writer friend told me a story and I’d like your take on it. She said she was told by a prominent publisher that her book had merit, but they didn’t have room for it and suggested that she self-publish the book to see how it does. If it sells well, then they would reconsider it as long as she was taking all the risks first. She lives in the UK and maybe that’s how they do business, but this seems wrong. Is this what publishers are doing now, expecting the writer to take the risk before contracting a book? Just curious..
In the past week, we:
Went swimming (twice).
Saw a HUGE personal Star Wars collection.
Visited a dinosaur museum.
Ate Kelly’s homemade stuffed hamburgers and gluten-free fruit pizza.
Ate Cindy’s homemade pork loin sandwiches and cherry pie.
Ate the Garbage Plate at Frank’s Diner in Kenosha, WI, which has been profiled on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
Dented the rear slide on the RV (now, whose fault was that?!)
And were shocked to discover the large electric plug on the RV had started to melt!

This week’s Maxism:
Conversation overheard in the back of the RV between Max (8) and Mason (4). Mason refuses to try eggs, and now probably never will.
“Mason, do you know what eggs are?”
“No.”
“They’re big, squishy balls that come out of chicken’s butts…and we eat ’em!”
Hugs to all!

This week:
If you’ve recently sold or purchased a home, you may be familiar with the hottest trend in moving real estate. It’s called “staging” and involves demonstrating creative combinations to attract potential buyers. Many real estate agents even hire professional “stagers” to make properties-for-sale more attractive to potential buyers. They rearrange furniture to create flow and energy. They de-clutter dens and bathrooms. They might brighten a black coffee table with a vase of white roses to make the living room “pop.”
Why go to all this trouble? To make a sale, of course, and to help clients see the potential in a particular property. Staging works! By modifying the techniques, I’ve sold children’s book manuscripts on topics that have already been covered pretty thoroughly-including one about fairies (yes, another book on fairies!) to Random House…
