Celebrating Some “Small” and “Not So Small” Things

By

Joy spreads throughout me when I look at the thoroughly dusted and tidy desk. Yep. It’s a small but celebratory moment to be able to see the top of my desk again.

This is a small thing, and I want to take it home.

Several people have offered to help me with my launch of Double Negative. Thank you all. I’ll be in touch with you as soon as I have more information about the cover, the actual launch date etc. I’m still at the “Coming Soon” stage of the process, so if anyone else wants to lend a hand leave that in a comment. 

DOUBLE NEGATIVE, EVERNIGHT TEEN

In honor of Maya Angelou, a few of her words that struck a chord with me.

1928-2014
What a beautiful DASH she has.
“This a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.”
“We must be warriors in the struggle against ignorance.”
What are your small celebrations this Friday? Are you joining the Write Club this year? Can you help me with my launch? What are some of your favorite Maya Angelou words?

Celebrating the Small Things and Double Negative Goes to Evernight Teen

Thanks VIKLIT

This week has been busy. I weeded the garden, cleaned the deck, de-fleaed the cat and signed a contract for my young adult book, Double Negative. 
Thanks, EVERNIGHT TEEN for taking on one of my books.
Their plan is to publish an eBook in July, and if I sell a couple, they’ll put it up as  POD paperback.
So I have lots of things to CELEBRATE this Friday.

If you can give me a hand spreading the word, I’d love it. I don’t have specific dates yet, but as soon as I do I’ll contact anyone who leaves a comment saying they’d like to help. 

And here I was planning on taking it easy in June. Guess not this year.

Have you joined the WRITE CLUB yet? No? Well, get cracking. You have until May 31 to sub your entry and enter the fray. Talk it up a bit, too. #writeclub2014
