Re: Self-made flyer (4 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
In print it looks pretty good.
As for pricing, a 400+ page book is easily $19
And the Kindle sale event is in the print.

I had that problem with a chart in Lucky Thirteen. Charles Brass suggested dropping it in like a photo, but I bet it still might not work here. Worked great when it went to pdf for print though.

Re: disaster (7 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Thanks. I'm sad to report that the lady who was shot near me died.
FYI, before that during the business day, I went to teach class at one of the locations away from my office. When I went to find one particular client, I was told he was sick in the break room. I thought he probably had to stomach bug like many of us have had in the last couple of weeks, but I found him sweating profusely, a cold clammy sweat, and he had passed out. We got the paramedics. When I went to check his file for current meds, nothing was in there. The form I have all the clients I do intake on was not there. I did not do his intake. Thank God he was coherent enough to tell the paramedics he took blood pressure meds. I was worried about him having a heart attack or stroke. I ranted to my boss about that form not being in his file and have insisted that all clients fill it out from now on, whether or not I do the intake.
It was a day!

Better yet, you can base your next novel on an author whose book event is invaded by a criminal on a shooting spree. He's wrecked his getaway car on the highway and he's desperate. He takes over the venue (library? bookstore?) holding the author and attendees hostage all night long, while police and FBI (yes, the feds want him, too) congregate outside. You can make it funny, like Cadillac Man, or grim, like all the others. It'll be a best-seller, then a movie, then a Pulitzer prize-winner, and it will have been time well spent. Have fun with it. JP
Go for it, JP!

Topic: Angels around me? (0 replies, posted in Spirituality & Religion)
Had a Book Talk event today at the Ridgeland Library. My short program became almost non-existent. An accident at Hwy 51 & Lake Harbour and this (below). No wonder I had a total of 4 people. One came early and had to leave (Lottie Boggan), and thus missed the madness. Two others got there and we suddenly heard all manner of emergency vehicles( Rob Finney--who should have stayed home!!! and Sam Perry--yes, my youngest came to support me). Then, one last person (Alana Harrigill) showed up as I was packing up, saying she had to drive around the world to get to my event.
I have confidence in my local police department to catch this vile person. These two incidents took place within a quarter of a mile and 2 miles of where I was safely ensconced right next door to the police station.

BTW, the accident was a hit and run from shoplifters at the mall 2 miles up the road. The shooter at the other incident went into Jackson and shot and killed a lady. He was caught. 2 of the folks in the hit and run were caught and one still on the loose.
But even in all this chaos, I sold a book--Whatever It Takes. Right this second, I'm happy to be safe at home.

Never saw The Killing. True Detective rocks. I think HBO scored big when they got such high profile actors to portray the cops.

Re: Suggestion for inline review points (69 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Personally, I think we could do away with regular reviews since we have to leave a closing comment on inline reviews anyway. Then, we could eliminate the required 5 comments so long as you have a closing comment. I've had a few chapters I've started an inline on and couldn't find enough to nit, but that's okay. That's when you can make positive comments about something that really works well. Inline comments don't have to be negative!!!!

Contact Sol. It might not seem pressing to you, but when a person is counting on the points from a regular review and doesn't get them b/c they are shorted on word count, that get more than annoying.

I have a blog and post maybe once a week on it. I just started my website. Joss Landry says every time she tweets about her books, some sell. I usually do get sales when I do this kind of blitz.

you can buy the PDF software from Adobe or find free or low-cost software that translates to and from Word.
Tried one of those free software things. It won't let me adjust the text box or change the font color. I'm pulling my hair out.
