Simple, But Effective

For the most part I hate advertisments, but sometimes I run across ads I really enjoy. This series of three ads is too good not to share. They are by an advertising agency in Brussels and are funny (and clever).

I guess my love/hate relationship with ads is why I love the Gruen Transfer et al... for anyone else who does watch for Gruen Sweat starting 25th July :)

There is no path to happiness; happiness is the path.

Make the most of every day.

My Celebration - Idea #2

I've been trying to think of something to do to celebrate when my first book is published - and for each subsequent book after that. One of my fabulous CPs suggested I have an adventure.

I think that sounds like a whole lot of fun!

I don't think they'd have to be big adventures. I don't even think they have to be adventures in the true sense of the word. Just doing something I'd never normally do, but would like to.

I've been trying to think of some things I'd like to do, but wouldn't normally:

• day spa
• helicopter ride
• nothing - for a whole day
• a girls weekend
• deep sea fishing

Do you have any ideas for my adventures? What would you do if you could pick something?

If a book is not alive in the writer's mind, it is as dead as year-old horse-shit.

Pitch Success

A month ago I participated in an online pitch with Entangled Publishing, pitching for their upcoming line Bliss (launching in August). The pitch required a 3-5 sentence pitch and the first 100 words of the manuscript.

I'm totally thrilled because they requested my full.

Now more waiting...

Put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.
