Sean, I believe if they have participated in the giveaway, they are agreeing to the possibility of being contacted.

I'll delete the post if you haven't already."

Learn it sir. 😅

[Beatrice]

That's the case for most of us here in the group. Eventually, we realise that we are but tiny fish in the sea of authors. It's the readers that need to snap us up😅

[Sandra]

I think she means having the readers snap up our books. What use to us, if they don't read or review?

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

This conversation just took a complete U turn. It's hilariously tragic 😆

[Bernard]

I am completely lost!

All of the above 😅

I agree. We need readers more than we need air or food!😊

[Sandra]

Life's breath!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Perhaps most of our authors here use traditional publishers?

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Well the acquisition is only recent. Goodreads was once an older independent entity.

[Bernard]

Ah, so that is what GR is, a social reading site!

[Sandra]

Very informative. I hadn't the faintest clue. Muchos Gracias

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

That's why we have a job here 😎

[Beatrice]

Yes, Shaun, the laptop doesn't have a wide range of emojis.

[Bernard]

💫💥✨🌠🔆🔊

How about these?

[Bradley]

They would do perfectly 😆

[Alexis]

Come on! We can get more creative than that!

O-K

Look sideways

[Graham]

Although I'm biased about emojis, I must say these stick figures are actually growing on me.
Great art Alexis

[Bernard]

This is my favourite one 🤔

It ranks with Rodin's.

[Sandra]

Haha. Are you being a mockingbird?🤔

[Bernard]

I do not mock. The Rodin sculpture is widely known by its image, but the emoji must be more widely known. I make no judgement on the aesthetic value of each.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Well saved

[Bernard]

As a senior citizen, I prefer the sculpture. But I recognise the charm of the emoji.

[Cendrine]

Hello everyone! How is it going?

[Beatrice]

Hi Cenrdrine. I think your message got hidden by the onslaught in the inbox.
All good here. Cannot wait for normal life to begin again. How about for you?

[Cendrine]

Working on several different projects that have kept me busy for months: 3 new books to promote, last days to submit poetry for my NaPoWriMo anthology, my poetry journal + new creative arts journal, my new poetry form, PoArtMo starting soon, photography... I must have forgotten something. LOL

[Beatrice]

That really sounds very busy. Well done Cendrine.

I am ashamed that the President and his claque have made the street in front of the seat of the executive branch of the United States into a Mickey Mouse version of the Berlin Wall. This is not the country I know and love.

OMG! You could have given us a bit more notice!!!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Nah! We'll do just fine. How many bags do you really have to pack??

[Bernard]

Quite a few actually. And I must not forget my wind up model of the Virgin Mary.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

I believe she apparated to heaven already

[Bernard]

Apparated is an excellent word. I would have used the more common word "ascended".

It is another Spike quote. When in Paris, he ordered a meal in French to show off. He then received a series of bizarre non-food items.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

A spiked quote?

That is my gold !!!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Ha Ha. Sure is. Go claim it! ;)

[Bernard]

I submitted my claim, but the Swiss said it will take a while to process, due to covid.

[Beatrice]

You might have to go there to claim it Whohoo!

This is why my brother (the computer geek) has strictly ordered me to use Firefox. It is far safer.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Good idea Martha
