Just wanted to stop by and say hello. If you get a free moment, stop by my page here at Book Place, or at WRDF.

I keep hot, buttery-sweet cinnamon rolls on the cyber-table at all times—go ahead, grab two.

Have a great day and a successful year,
Lynda

Hi Rachel, thanks for the friendship! I will check out your company's website, as well as yours. I am curious about your upcoming photography book. That sounds very interesting, a type of project I might want to tackle myself. Will you be taking the photos as well? I'm a poet & nature photographer.

Hi Rachel. I'm sending a request but meantime, it looks like we have some mutual interests. While I prefer nonfiction, the authors you list are some of the first I devoured. Miller wrote of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima and he is unbelievable... comparable to Dostoyevsky. No kidding. I recommend Spring Snow which is the first in the series Sea of Fertility. Also, you have an interest in Southern music. Nashville itself hosts a very, very cool secret: Legendary Shack Shakers! They do tour nearly constantly but WoW! Also Sixteen Horsepower has been called "Southern/Gothic/Swamp." Very Cool! Plus the band Slim Cessna's Auto Club. They all are some of the most original yet traditional outfits out there/here.
Peace, Michael.

Rachel, I look forward to hanging out with you at Book Place. Sounds like you are into all sorts of creative endeavors in writing and music both. And you like some classy authors. Reminds me I should go back and read the classics I haven't read for a long time.

Paper War

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?

Library Displays - See Make Mine Mystery Monday

Have you tried a library display? If you want to see mine, come on over to Make Mine Mystery on Monday.

Thanks,

Rascal's Turn to Post


Today, I'm going to tackle my State of Illinois sales tax form, which is due by the end of the month. It's a necessary evil for making book sales outside of stores.

So, I let Rascal do a post instead. You can read it at http://www.doggyspace.com/journal/57331

If you understand her frustration, you can share it with her here or there.

Thanks,
Morgan

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
