Little Annoyances…

So I'm off at RT.  I'll probably be posting some in between.

But here's something to amuse while I'm gone.

Little annoyances… as in things that annoy me.

The things on facebook that say:

99.9% (or something like that) won't repost this…

Okay, so I don't need to post something on FB to 'prove' that I'm a Christian-that's kind of between me and my Lord, and I've already confessed Him before men, so 'daring' me to do on facebook…eh, those are annoying, plus, so many of those come with a...

No Longer Mine

Excerpt

No Longer Mine…Random Excerpt # 5

I'm going to be doing a contest for the release of this book…kind of a big one, especially for an ebook. Even if you've already bought it, you might wanna think about buying it again-buying it gets you multiple entries, and this is a nice prize… The contest will be open across the globe and it won't matter to me if you buy it through Samhain's store, Amazon, the Nook store, Sony…as long as it's a legit etailer and you follow the contest rules. And did I mention…it's a nice prize.

Meet Mr. Incredible…

I heard about him via Katidom's blog…

Image via JDRF

He looks like a little heartbreaker, a 4 year old diagnosed with juvenile diabetes.

So… anybody who's much of a regular visitor to my blog probably knows my soft spot.  It's kids, above all and before all.  Nope, I don't know this little guy, but then again, I don't need to.

He's a handsome little kid who's been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and he has family walking in the Walk to Cure Diabetes, raising money and awareness.  Would you be...

Possible new comment policy…

Lately I'm having people leave promotional comments on my blog.

Things like… "Oh, hey…that's great…now why don't you come check out my blog and my books."

FYI.  This is rude.

If you're a writer, you should be able to figure out a clever way to catch attention, which will then entice people to click on your name.  If you can't do it that way…well, you're not going to do it the other way, not on my blog.  Sorry.  It annoys me.

So I'm pondering a new comment policy.  If people leave promotional...

Social Networking…how to do it wrong

**LOLCats|Image from iheart2embalm

Okay, this is just my opinion, but there are ways to use social networking that can be very, very annoying.  Now for readers, this isn't really an issue.  Readers are not on facebook to tell us all about their books… they are on facebook to chat with writers, chat with their family, chat with friends, etc.  Really, I don't know too many readers who have gone and set up 'fan' pages.  Well,  I guess if they run businesses.

Anyway, today's post is kind of...
