Indi Authors/Indi Books
If you're stuck in the past, you might think that self-publishing means Vanity Press. And, Vanity Press publishers were for those authors who weren't "real" writers. That's not true any more!
Now, self-publishing is another avenue for new authors to get their wonderful stories out in a publishing environment that continues to shrink in size. We have all heard of Indi Film Produces and think they're great! Aren't they gifted and creative?! So are Indi Authors. If you want to be dazzled, try these wonderful eBooks from Amazon. Some have paperbacks as well. You will be amazed!
The Patent by Max Garwood and Joseph Chamberlain Henry
Cache a Predator by M. Weidenbenner
Open the Flood Gates - Welcoming Grief into our Season of Loss by Cheryl A. Cecil
That should give you a wide assortment of topics and writing styles. I know. They are among some of my writing friends. I'll tell you about other Indi Authors in future posts.
What do you think about the whole new independence of creative people, who aren't waiting for some large company to validate their creative writing? Jump in and meet some new authors. They are great!

I Wish You Sauerkraut and Spare Ribs
“Yuck!” That is the usual response from our kids to the sauerkraut we serve each New Years day. Oh, you don’t hear negative groans from my husband and me. We enjoy the new year’s lucky-food. The green cabbage, altered and flavored with apples and brown sugar to make it uniquely festive, is paired with the forward-rooting and forward-thinking pig. Flavor and Wisdom are all smothered in the comfort food of mashed potatoes.
Today, don’t resolve to do something you will only beat yourself up over when you fail to follow through for all three-hundred sixty-five days. Instead, vow to live every day of the year, rather than choosing to die little deaths each time you waste an hour of precious life on sadness, anger, and self-recriminations.
For all of you who live to write and those of you who love to read, I wish you highly flavored, zesty books. Choose only the ones that propel you forward with uplifting and positive themes, which bring comfort and food for your soul. Have a blessed, full and Happy New Year!

NaNoWriMo is Finished!
Wahoo! I finished NaNoWriMo on November 20, 2013! The goal of the National Novel Writing Month is to write 50,000 words of a novel in the month of November. I finished on Wednesday and now have about 53,000+. We upload beginning Monday and through November 30. We, meaning all the other 905,000+ novelists from around the world.
Those who know me are not surprised that I'm a Rebel WriMo. Rather than working on one novel, I have completed one upper middle school level novel and am working on two others to complete my count.
Now I want to focus on the Holidays! Read my post on Sunday, November 24, to see what I am planning!

Kick the Words Down the Road
Some group of researchers or pollsters came up with a list of words or phrases people no longer wanted to hear in 2013. My problem is, they left off the most aggravating! Kick the can down the road. Have we all lost the ability to find new ways of saying things?
I really don't want to kick the can down the road any longer. If we don't come up with another term we will only be kicking the can far into 2013. If we continue to kick the can, our vocabulary will be severally limited. Oh gag!
Did you know that our vocabulary is the single best predictor of intelligence? So, for the benefit of those in Congress who have limited vocabulary and possibly limited intelli . . . let us move on.
I would like to propose several alternative phrases that can be used to mean the same thing:
1. punt the puke down the trough
2. drop kick the bowling ball down the lane
3. boot the bilge over the fence
4. jolt the junk to the next trunk
5. send Peter into Neverland
6. postpone the preposterous
7. send Grandma of a mystery trip
8. kick the can into infinity - (borrowing a few words from the trite expression for those who may become anxious over losing their security blanket of words)
You think of a few. Prove what we have all known: words are beautiful, if strung together with purposeful thread.

Blessings for the New Year
In a few hours we will welcome in a new year. We will have another 365 days to fill with love or hate, joy or anger, boldness or fear. The choice is up to each of us. For this new year, I pray you will:
1. live like this is your second chance at life,
2. work like it is a blessing from God,
3. love like it is food for your soul,
4. and walk through each day as if you were within the light of the Lord.
For this new year, I hope that you will live every day of your life. There is not one day worth throwing away. Learn from your mistakes but don't feel guilt. Realize, when someone is angry with you it is far more about their own fears and much less about you.
You are a valuable light in God's sky and you are the only one who can pull-off being you like you can. Live up to the marvelous person God had in mind when he created you.
Bless you through every moment of the new year, 2013. Make number 13 the luckiest number there is. You have the power to create the "you" you were meant to be.
May blessings flow down around you until they fill your shoes.
