L. Diane Wolfe's Interview With Author And Publisher Carol Denbow, a.k.a., Author 101

You have quite the variety of non-fiction books – how did this occur?
Well L. Diane, I think I see a need and quickly develop a twisted sort of desire to fill it. My first book, Are You Ready to Be Your Own Boss? was a book I had wanted to write for many years. As a woma… Continue

As a by-the-bye, I've had another internet business idea for a while involving virtual tours. Be happy to share it but would prefer to do so through private email, if you would be interested. The next post I'm working on is my views on the internet matching experience. And then the Japan years and a switch back to an adult story or two; lots of things to play with. Good luck on your many projects!

At 10:33am on January 17, 2009, Ed Feist said…: Thank you for your suggestions. As you might see, I have updated my profile here. But as you know, I am just at the start of the process and am focusing on the writing at the moment. What would be nice is whatever thoughts you and anyone else might have on these writing efforts. As someone who tends to be fairly critical (in a constructive way, of course; not that everyone has always seen it that way) I do appreciate and learn from critical feedback. Also questions are good and could be incorporated into not only the process but the result as well. A very loose, very current tech sort of format.

Looks like you've got lots of helpful advice to share.
Have a great time here.

At 8:36am on January 16, 2009, Ed Feist said…: Thanks; suppose I'll just let some stuff accumulate at xquills.blogspot.com for a while. Do please stop by and have a read now and again and let me know what you think. That is the "style" of the book I was planning except that I would like more control over the sequencing of the individual posts. Posted a story last night while intending to write an introduction but the intro has to be posted second in order to show at top; after which it will simply sink but there doesn't seem much I can do about it. We'll see.

At 12:45pm on January 14, 2009, Ed Feist said…: Hello again; I've read your comments on the very large number of people with stories to tell and agree with you. In fact, I was working on a project a number of years ago to help in that process but it never really got all that far. So recently I re-wrote the original business plan as an essay and have now posted it as a blog @ http://xquills.blogspot.com/
If you have a few minutes, I'd appreciate your thoughts on it.

At 9:07am on January 13, 2009, Ed Feist said…: Did buy the Kindle edition and am about half way through. Not sure waht idea you mean but you refer to the electronic chip in a book, it's being done as reported in the "Tools for Change in Publishing" email of 12/16/2007 reporting on a story published in the Guardian UK. Excerpting a brief (fair use) quote: "SenseBooks are a hybrid of paper and computer intelligence, and will have MP3 quality audio from an ARM processor and a gigabyte of storage. Williams says SenseBooks 'will know when the user picks up the book and looks at a page':
A proximity sensor detects this and can light up pages or make music. What is also useful is the book has sensors to know what page it is on, can send a wireless message to a PC and open up a web page with more information on. Current applications include children's teaching books, music books, cookery books etc."

MORGAN'S OWN BLOGSPOT

Slides, Anyone?

I added a few slides of my books to my blogspot. I'm not sure yet if they should stay on or not.

Do you have more trouble loading my blogspot with the slides up? Do you like them or are they too distracting?

A Christmas Tree Already

On the way home from work yesterday, I passed a house that already had a lighted and decorated Christmas tree up and showing by the window.

Is it not too soon for that? In my mind, the day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas Season starts. That's when it's fair game to put up a tree and decorations and start shopping. The way things are going this year, I'll be lucky if I get organized enough to decorate a few days before Christmas.

With our dog, Rascal, who lives up to her name, we'll probably go with a fiber optic small tree on top of an end table. One of these days I may pull put the larger tree from the box in the basement and set it up, but not until our doggy is a little more sedate. I don't feel like chasing her to get ornaments out of her mouth. I will be putting up knick knacks, lights inside and decorations on the walls, so it will still look Christmasy. No lights outside because for some reason we have no outlets outside.

While we're on the subject of Christmas trees and such, be sure to add holidays in your books. You can mention decorations and lights or Easter eggs and baskets, or even mattress sales in your descriptions to ground the reader as to the season.
Now, back to that tree I saw. What about you? When do you decorate for Christmas? What do you put up?

Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life

I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.

For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of. You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.

PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!

CMA Awards Tonight and Twitter

One of my favorite shows is on tonight - the CMA Awards. If you're a country music fan, you're probably like me and will be glued to the TV 8pm EST, or in my case 7pm, in the flatlands of Illinois.

Almost all my favorite performers will be there, except I hear that Rascal Flatts can't make it.

I'll be on Twitter during the show also. That's part of the fun of it - discussing and dissecting outfits, performers, songs and even commercials, kind of like I'm at a giant party with people who all go for the same thing and want to share.

What about you? What kind of music do you like? Do you tweet during a favorite show or event?
