If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.
Thanks,

I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.
The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
Have you tried a library display? If you want to see mine, come on over to
Make Mine Mystery on Monday.
Thanks,
Morgan
Hi Gang,
I've written a short Christmas story which is being featured at
Un:Bound today.
You may be able to relate to some of it.
I'd appreciate your going over to look and leave a comment.
Thanks,
Morgan

I noticed your book about book signings. I'm local in Encinitas. My novel, Jen-Zen & The One Shoe Diaries is coming out this from SynergyEbooks.com. It will available digitally and for author signings as special order as a print on demand book.
Would you be open to having me give a talk about my book? I've seen representatives from your store at the Southern California Writers Conference. Last Spring I gave a workshop there on flash fiction. I also write flash fiction and have had nearly 70 flash stories published.
Warm regards,
Julie Ann Shapiro
