Today I put the finishing touches on the book I ghostwrote for a client–including the back cover sales copy. So that one is put to bed as far as my efforts go. The copyright holder will create the cover (or have one created), format it for publication, get the ISBN number, and so forth. I[…]
“Dying to Be Me, My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing” by Anita Moorjani is an astonishing book. I recommend it to every soul on the planet–seriously! It’s a Hay House publication. The foreword is by Dr.Wayne Dyer. In fact, he pursued the author to get her to write her story so[…]
What does your favorite word whisperer do on her day off when I learn that the weekend is going to be another scorcher? Why, I get up at dawn to pound 30 fence posts while it’s still cool enough. Then I prepare the shed to be renovated before the truck arrives that will deliver 15,[…]
This morning during my bike ride in Orting I was thrilled to spot a doe and her two knee-high fawns entering the bike path just a hundred feet or so ahead of me. I slowed to a stop and watched them amble up and across the bike path away from me for about twenty feet. […]
I’m just hours away from finishing writing a new book–alas, that’s all I can say about it, because it will have another individual’s name on it. I’m being paid to write it as a ghostwriter. It’s a shame I can’t tell you its title or what it’s about but I’m sworn to secrecy. At some[…]
In this case, a picture may well be worth a thousand words, so let’s start with a picture, shall we? Gerri Bennett of Evergreen Embroidery is my go-to provider for all things embroidered. She is a true artist, as you’ll see by visiting her website. If you can conceive it, she can achieve it.[…]
I just went down the list of Facebook friends to see how many have turned their profile photos “rainbow” in support of the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality for all 50 states. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many have–people I expected to see, and people I didn’t expect to see. I[…]
I don’t usually get political in this blog–although I can be in-your-face political from time to time on my personal Facebook page. Today is an exception because today is an exceptional day. Today History was made! Today the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry in all fifty[…]
OK, I’m two hours and 1200 words into the manuscript ghostwriting project. I always stop at the two-hour mark and present what I’ve come up with so the client can give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. So far, it has always been thumbs up, but I always want to give my clients[…]
I traded five days of pet sitting (this coming September) for two enormous, goat-sized fiberglass “sheds”. George Rebar delivered them this morning. I piled tires beside and between the sheds so the goats can jump to the top of the sheds and play. Goats love to be up high. So far Mr.[…]
