Waning Moon
Saturn Retrograde
Rainy and cold
Chaz had a great quiz about the Egyptian Zodiac sign on his blog. I did it, and came up with a great answer – but, of course, Blogger can’t support it without losing all my sidebar stuff, so it’s only on WordPress. Hop on over to see it here. Or, if you’re looking at the WordPress version of Ink, just scroll down under this post.
The day absolutely shot by – that happens when you get a late start.
I spent A LOT of time loading my links into the WordPress version of Ink in My Coffee, rearranging stuff, etc., etc.
I spent A LOT of time setting up the new version of Kemmyrk, and I’m very proud of it. It’s as though finding the right look for the site has given it a whole new energy, and it’s finally coming together.
Crossed two more items off the January To-Do list.
AND, I moved Circadian Poems over to Word Press. The new site is here. Check out today’s poem, “The Judgment Within” by Sophia Simpson. And yes, that’s another of my photos in the header. Can you tell I’m getting into the whole Word Press thing?
I’m getting 1200 spams per day in the Circadian address – WITH the Spam filter as high as it goes. I know people are telling me to calm down about spam – but I’m paying the host enough for hosty-poo to filter the poo that is spam. So it’s taking me longer than it should to even find the darned submissions, much less respond to them. My apologies to anyone who’s waiting to hear back.
And if anyone is publishing any poetry, please send me an email with the information, links, etc., so I can include you in the Poetry News segment that comes out on Thursdays. At the risk of generating even more spam, send it here. And put something in the header so I know it’s a press release and not a penis enlargement ad.
WordPress actually makes sense to me, which gives me confidence trying to get up the websites.
I’ve almost made 1300 posts on the Blogger version of “Ink.” Who knew I had so much to say?
Worked on the quarterly newsletter. I’m waiting for one more piece of information; I hope to have it printed and in the mail latest by Monday.
Started typing Token and Affections and I’m doing enough work on it so it’s a legitimate second draft, not a “Draft 1A” which is what my typical drafts typed from longhand are. I put in some more information that’s necessary for all three novellas and fixed some logistical problems. I’ve gotten back into their individual speech patterns, some of which I think I lost in the middle of the first draft, and hope to recapture. And I’m very happy with the work. It’s getting stronger and stronger. Got the first two chapters done.
All in all, I spent nearly 12 hours working yesterday Not too shabby. Too bad all of them weren’t billable hours!
Errands today, and back to the page. I did not fill my quota on either Chasing the Changeling or “Illuminated Nude” and need to make that up.

I really love the WordPress version of your blog. It’s so much easier for me to comment on, for one thing.
In short, done properly, a Wake Up… Live the Life You Love Book could change your life!
But you can use being a co-author to promote pretty much any business or service–or even to start a new career.
As part of being a co-author, you participate in several tele-classes that teach you exactly how to use the book–and the huge amount of publicity it will generate–to promote your business and your career. Doesn’t it make sense to set yourself apart from your competition and be extremely media worthy?
Let’s say you have a pet store. When the book is published, you send a press release (they’ll show you how) telling the local media that you have published a book with other famous authors. If you’re like past co-authors, you’ll probably get a story in the newspaper, and you’ll probably be asked to be on local radio or TV. All of these possibilities increase awareness of your business and make you special in your community.
And that’s only one of many ways being a co-author in this book can be used.
You mentioned poetry and I thought I would drop you a New Year’s greeting. I enjoyed your blog.
Thank you.
