What About Nakedness on Social Networks???

Put your words forth in print on any social network, and prepare to get naked. Imagine showing your bare ass unwittingly. Forget spy stories, because no identifiable numbers exist for lurkers to your page via friends of friends. Your status still shows. Their curiosity still lurks as you post controversy and crap that sells tickets to your 3am show of sleeping tablet ineffectiveness. Wear something without moth holes for this show. You might need to put it on again. Consider running for cover and curtailing all online activity until curtains are closed and the orange crumbs are cleared from my keyboard before continuing our pre-diet chats.

Is Sex Over-rated???

Funny to me when I think back to my blossoming in the upsweep of "the" sexual revolution. I wonder if I ever learned anything noteworthy. Born in 1957, I lost my virginity to my made-up-Adonis guy in the 70's. He reminded me of David Bowie. No, I wasn't drunk, I was stoned. I was hopelessly in love with Bowie. Some thirty years later, I truly believe sex is definately over-rated. Forgive me, but I have sampled from the banquet table and left most of it to continue going cold. Nonsense to re-heat if tasteless. Make no mistake when I tell you this. Say one thing to screw up his face worse than climax and you'll know it's time to bolt.


I want to write this *ONE THING on restroom walls-- *Simple instructions for fun: Supress the nonsense that pisses you off for as long as your fun self can. If that turns out to be 30 seconds, bolt. Do not look back. If it turns out to be over a minute without freaking out silly about something, stay for the next four. If five minutes fails to go nicely into a 60 minute dinner, skip his desert plans and call a cab.


I claim no responsibility for my observant feelings. I am hot. Polished up, I'm hot. Meet me at 3am in 7-11 and I may blend in with the endcap showing snowballs. I may have skipped the five minutes it would have taken for make-up for the neutrality to shop there. My lucky night to find you looking schleppy, yet shining your funny eyes into my sights. It's your bad if you want to share my Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey with meters running and flow charts showing. It's my bad that you're sporting one blue eye and one brown eye, sport. ;D Who says neutrality is over-rated?

Reflecting on Publishing Trends

Why I began this blog lies solely with an article I read in Writer's Digest.
I absorbed to their sage advice like gospel-- since the 80's when I was starting out. This time was no different. It was to be the time of my life!
I had a few books to sell and then, over a dozen screenplays. The article slanted itself to appease and assure upcoming writers that there is a system and a method to the madness of writing for publication without breaking the bank for a publicist.

Three things could promote and sell books, netting residual income.
First, establish yourself and your product on myspace, facebook, and twitter. Second, start a blog. Wordpress, blogger, etc. Blog consistantly and constantly.
Thirdly, offer links to make money and points from Amazon and Google. eline shopping promotions. The last part sounded cheesey to me, but I understood the concept. However, no matter how hard I tried to get all of the books and films I cared to promote and import to my blog must certainly be floating around in cyberspace. None made their way here. If anyone reads this that's in the know for how to orchestrate this process, I would be mucho grateful. It goes without saying that I wholeheartedly believe we must actively promote what we love to promote ourselves. In the meantime, I will nurture my blog.
