Jim Chaseley (please veer wildly off topic, then bring it back around once in a blue moon so I remember who I am and what I'm doing)
I was just teasing... and we are teasing you now. We only tease the ones we like!
See, I'm such a gentle, timid, naive, uanware and inoffensive person, that teasing goes right over my head.Believe that, you'll believe anything.
I'm just dense.
Also totally lost touch with reality by the sound of it!
Just saw this on the free list today - thought it was funny considering the conversations yesterday!http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0...
You haven't crossed a taste bounday Jim - we have no taste!Are you now worried that I like your book?
Yeah, the last thing I want is glowing compliments about (the early part at least, of) my book, when I'm just starting out and desperate for any attention at all :)
Where have you been? I've been standing outside the dungeon waiting for you for ages now. ** Taps foot impatiently **
I guess he doesn't really want a tour, maybe you should just shut up for the day GL
:( and I was really looking forward to it...
Whoops.You'll have to blame Ford. Their idea of a courtesy car is that I have to do a 30 mile round trip to pick it up....Hmmm.
Either that or I just got all coy and shy about appearing at the dungeon.
All thats left for me now is to do some actual work.. (sniff, sniff..)
I just had breakfast for lunch. That kind of day. I might start early and have tomorrow's breakfast for dinner, just in case I need to stock up on food in advance.Go go hamster cheeks!
** Updating mental picture... **
Lol.Hamster cheeks, dumbo ears. Big, snotty nose. Inveterate rake-stepper, who talks like Foghorn Leghorn.
If I ever upload a profile photo, then, at this rate, it would actually be an improvement over the mental image, and that's a rare thing.
Yeah - I was starting to think that you couldn't be that bad and stil be human!
I never claimed to be human. We've already got the lovely Ignite, reading my book, putting two and two together and getting "cyborg".
Well I will be starting your book as soon as I get a moment to read, so goodness knows what my twisted brain will come up with!
Quick re-rail onto my book (but carry on the banter too, or else!)So, what do I do now? I think I've reached all the people who I can reach, first hand, who will buy my book. I think I've mined-out all the "easy" sales. I can't blog, I have nothing to say. The twitter account will come into its own more when/if people have read it and want more (hah, six year wait, I reckon)..
I joined another group here, a largish sci-fi one, but my intro thread was ignored (no friendly, snazzy marching frogs there).
I'm guessing this excellent group is only a tiny (but lovely and cuddly) fraction of the active membership of goodreads?
I should do something else, shouldn't I? Ignore it and hope for a word of mouth "revolution", lol.
I might post excerpts from two things I've got ont he go in the creative section...

You could always do what all the cool kids* are doing these days: sign up to the KDP Select programme and make your book free for a few days. Worked pretty well for me last week! *No guarantee of coolness.
Yeah, I've been "umming" and "ahhing" over KDP Select, David. I've heard it's more useful if you have two books out.I suppose I can do it more than once, though.
I might wait for the first month, see how it's going and make a decision then.
In the meantime...free business cards, scattered around my home town? Sky-writing? Oh wait, no budget...
I have a very energetic four year-old daughter who would look so cute wearing a sandwich board in the town centre...
She'll get used to the cold, bless her.
Just wait until she grows up and makes millions writing about her traumatic experiences with her exploitive dad!
I only had a kid to make money from her.I wanted to name her Gravy Boat.
Although, after my car experiences of late, I am going to spend her formative years brainwashing her into becomming a mechanic.
And she can be a plumber on the side - she would really clean up!
I can perfectly visualise a few publicity stunts I could perform, using, I mean with her. Ones that she and I would have a great laugh doing, too. But you can guarantee, no matter how harmless it was, no matter how much fun she was having, there'd still be more outcry than the stunt was worth.
yes, i'm sure there would be.
But is it so terrible to fire a child from a catapult?
Depends where she lands.
Exactly!But apaprently, "I'm not entirely sure, but we still haven't found her sister" isn't the answer the events co-ordinator was expecting.
I mean - la de daaa
How many children did you have to start with? If you only have one left, maybe you should be slightly more careful...
Well yes, unless you have a good supply of new ones.
Hmm.Nope.
Okay, puppies next then. The most aerodynamic ones tend to be the cute ones. Same for children.
You could probably practise with stray ones though.
How do you think I reached the conclusions I did regarding aerodynamicity? (I blunty refuse to check if that's a word, and, if it is, whether I've spelled it correctly).Oh, oh, oh, my book's picked up a second review on here. Eeep, how do I check who, what, when, where, how, why, pigeon?
Calm down, calm down. Breathe!!
Bu-bu! Rurble!Rurble!
I mean...phhhhhhhh! MMmmmm! wugga wugga wugga!!!
All I know is, I want to know who Jimanyway's script writer is.
Someone hit the reset button!! He's gone into overload...
*calm and peace descend*OMG it's FIVE STARS! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
KA-BLAM!
Wait, who's Jimanyway, anyway?
Oh dear I think this was my fault- I wrote a review. Try turning him off and back on again.....
You as far as I can make out... Patti is a bit bonkers, but you'll get used to her.
No. Okay yes. But. Right in his first post in this thread. 'Call me Jim anyway'. So I am.
PC picked up on my bible, got all excited and blue screen crashed. Posting from my phone and not, repeat not hyperventilating. Lol Patti, subtle. I love it.
Rosemary? Review? I can't see it.
Curse my pc, phone too fiddly.... Back soon. Button moon. Button mooooooooooon.

These true colours I've shown are actually dastardly false colours masquerading as true ones. Damn them, and their rotten ruse.
