So I get this email from the brothers
wife.... says I have a sign in, password and a link to a couple of web
pages..... blog sites.
Wait - I got a phone call from an old
friend, Mom Sherwood. We have not talked in awhile so the usual blah blah
blah's about the families.... Joan has taken a voice over course, has gotten
her certification for voice overs and has seventy-five copies of
demo cd's to be sent out [first phone call of the day set up for 11:30am]
While Mom and I are talking, a lonely little brain cell fires and remembers
that Joan had co-authored a book. So I said hey, your book could be your first
book on tape! Use your new skill and it is another application for your talent!
Well there's an idea. But neither one of us know anything about this sort of
thing. I told her I know a guy!
I send my brother a text - you
working or goofing off? (you can't disturb these fancy writer folks) Says he's
[grab's cell phone, clicks texts, references brothers text] says he's writing,
what's up? I hit call contact. Blah blah blah, up to speed about Joan, some of
the back story, and has he looked into any book on cd? As we are talking about
books on cd and some of their merits and/or short comings, The wife says they
are audio books..... (snooty authors wife) (hi Dee )
ok - go back to the top of the page, read the first two lines then come back
here!
Hey, how are ya? So now I am writing
[grabs phone again, references text] oh i am a "contributor" (she
thinks i can spell cause i'm the smart one in the herd) contributor... ouch.
Hurts just thinking about it.
Typing..... 60 words a minute, isn't
that the standard [right click over word with red line under it, select
correct spelling,click] maybe 60 words a minute, but my 3xl hands can hit about
95 words a minute, with most of those spelled wrong, not for the lack of
knowledge on how to spell, but have you seen the size of my hands? High school
guidance counselor said "no gynecologist for
you" Typing...
[rolls wheel on mouse] [looks about
this page] if the thingy's are being read right, looks like
I have been here an.... never mind... it looks like a clock in the
bottom right corner of this box and it is 2 pm somewhere - it's 9 am
here! So about an hour, nah 45 minutes (forgot i made coffee, took a dump and
started a load of laundry) and the counter thingy says 430 words - 440
preview ? no s@#) took me to the blog
page.
First off, that background color has
to go. Reading a letter on top of baby sh#$ brown??? eeewww
Top right corner says "here we
will be looking at projects we have at hand" Your hands ain't big enough
for this project !!!
And the font is tough to read (could
be the background color, could be my eyes - needs to be a darker or thicker
font) yuck, cold coffee.
Audio books. More to come. Research
away! And a blog site linked to this blog, linked to my blog, linked to ( Joan
needs a blog) seems the last few weeks I have had a trend of pimping friends...
to eric's web site (eric needs a blog)
And the first thing i read this
morning was Dee 's blog about planning....
interesting, very interesting! Did I consult the universe? So now I know she
can swing a hammer from Washington
State
(Trees for the
Forrest) Tomorrow - or later
