Book Publishing Horror -Embarrassed

Any author will tell you that writing a book is time-consuming. But it is the love of writing that keeps writers – writing.

I had written my book The Bloody Violins and I was rewriting it constantly until I got all my ideas into the book. Every time I thought I finished it I thought of something else and it just went on and on. I wanted to finally publish it again and say this is it.

In the process of writing my book and rewriting my book several times I had many saved copies in my computer. I thought I was using the last one to edit. But when I published the book for the last time and ordered books for friends and family. What a horrifying mess. The book somehow had bits and pieces from other saved copies. Also, I had uploaded it onto editing software. This software only took so many pages at a time and that is how it became completely out of order. Somehow the book was a disaster. I am thoroughly embarrassed.

I am now in the process of rewriting and editing my book The Bloody Violins with a friend. I will then republish it and then order more books.

Authors are the best customers for the amazon book store. Have you noticed that?

Thank you for reading my article.

Rioting Coast to Coast

George Floyd was killed by a white Police Officer Derek Chauvin on May 25, 2020, an African-American man, who died in Powderhorn, a neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Officer Chauvin has been charged with murder. Three other officers were involved in this violence.

Brutality that has been going on for decades but what happened recently popped the cork and all the hate and violence erupted in a flow that has gone coast to coast.

It is time for the police departments to begin retraining their police. To weed out the bad and giving them their walking papers. People who thrive on violence and hatred are easy to pick out.

The body cameras were supposed to change this but it hasn’t stopped it.

Also, people should realize every time they are in public somebody is videotaping. Nothing is private anymore.

The protesters have a reason to protest this violence but it should not be destructive.

The people who own the cars, buildings and businesses that are being looted and burned are the victims. They are forced with the destruction of their property. It was thrown in their face emotionally and financially that some will not survive.

This is the time for change!

The police departments and the people of their community should work together and make the changes.

The people in charge must listen!

STOP THE VIOLENCE!

Thank you for reading my article.

Writers How To Publish Free

If you want to do something. Do it yourself.

This is the book that I wrote when I was teaching at an adult school book formatting and publishing.

I found out when I was a new writer floundering around. The big question was. What do I do with all the articles and stories I had written?

I found a fancy website on the Internet and even went in person to another state to find out about this company. I wanted my book published. Think of the excitement. I wanted to be a published author. Is that you. Is this what you want? This publishing company I went to was sold and my book was never published. I had to fight to get my money back.

I was lucky I had a wonderful friend who was a computer nerd. When he started publishing his writing and books onto the Internet I wanted to know how also. He taught me. Now I want to teach you.

In my book I tell you step by step how to do this. You need a computer and Microsoft Word or some kind of software.

Did you ever hear the saying, “if you want to do something do it yourself.”

That is exactly what I did. I did it myself.

From Chaos to Hope

In the year 2020 we had to endure and listen to the news of the wide spread Corona Virus. The nightmare we all had to live with. Now life as we knew it has crashed and burned. We had to wear masks, wash our hands, and stay six feet apart.

This was a new concept. We are a social people. We want to be with our families. We want to hug our spouse, our kids and grandkids. We want to dine in a restaurant, go to our clubs, play cards, and be social again. But this stopped it for us.

Over the holidays thousands of people said enough is enough and had large family and friend dinners and parties. The virus has spread and is continuing to spread. But.

Striving for Happiness Again.

When the first Pfizer vaccine came to the United States bands should have played. We should have waved our American Flags. With the second arrival of Moderna we should have done the same. Now is the time to have hope. As the vaccines are being used, we will be able to return to laughing, singing, hugging and kissing safely.
