Dear Sillies,
It's a bit nerve-wracking to feel so close, yet so far, from publication. I'm waiting on help because I find the whole Amazon process to be confusingly distressing. How did they ever publish books in the typewriter days? I can't fathom. Anyway, fingers crossed, InSanity will be here this year!
Along the way, I was incredibly fortunate to get amazing help from THE Canadian Goddess (anointed so my me). You know her too, right? Debra's phenomenal, and her words grace the back of my soon-to-be published InSanity ~
“She’s a wonderful writer with a delightful colloquial style, easy and fun to read. I laughed out loud many, MANY times at her funny stories and her quips. Yet she dealt with some very important issues in a thoughtful and meaningful way. The whole book is well balanced between the serious and the humorous. I think it’s her BEST BOOK yet.”
-Debra She Who Seeks, Canadian Goddess

ReplyDeleteHappy holidays, Robyn.
Thank you, Alex. I will.
DeleteHappy Holidays, my longstanding friend.
The only thing better than praise from Debra might be a Pulitzer. We all have faith in your ability.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Yeah, good point. I can't think of anything else.
DeleteThanks so much, Jono.
Stay warm over there.
On the strength of your say-so, Robyn, I'm going to have calling cards printed up to announce my new Official Status of Canadian Goddess! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo, Debra. I've already consulted with Trudeau's administrative assistant to line up a date with him. Still waiting for the call back, but I'm sure it'll arrive soon. At that point, I'll make sure that he knows about your official title, if he doesn't already. What better excuse for me to get some time alone with him, right?
DeleteDear Miss Robyn, do NOT encourage MY HUMAN to get a SWELLED HEAD by mislabeling her as a GODDESS. She most assuredly is NOT and is, in fact, an INSUFFERABLE PAIN IN THE ASS most of the time. You don't know her the way I DO.
ReplyDeleteDear Her Royal Highness,
DeleteWith all due respect, the title has already been conferred. It IS valid, earned, and indisputable.
Now, nothing against you *giggle snort*, but I find you to be the most bold pussy I've never met. You don't know how many sonofabitch hyphens your human caught for me, or any of the rest. Go along now. We are done for the day.
CHOCOLATE candy corn...NOW you're talking though.
ReplyDeleteMmm, yes, we're talking now. CHOCOLATE candy corn, you say? Must find and eat asap.
DeleteThey're pretty awesome!
DeleteStill looking out for them, Al.
DeleteSmiles.
Incidentally, the benefits of living with a Jewish woman....I got Hannukah presents and I will get Christmas presents.
ReplyDeleteOh, and latkes? LOVE latkes!
You get 8 gifts on Hanukah too. Well, not usually, but that's the tradition. Latkes are the best, right? Lucky you. I hope you've had some yummy matzo ball soup too. (Not those kinds of balls. These are, well, smaller and more edible).
DeleteLove ya, silly man.
Actually, they might be larger. It depends on whose we're comparing them to and how big she likes her balls. (I like the medium size, tight ones myself.) If the balls are too small, you can't even find them to put them in your mouth and...oy, I'm ranting.
DeleteDear Robyn, I've especially enjoyed this post, as well as those back-pages I've visited here this past week and a half. Thank you for helping me thru an unwell spell --reaction to omicron-booster and flu shot in one visit. Your good humor mends me; and well, "I gotta be me..." (Sinatra?). Besides, I think everybody else is taken.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry, Geo.
DeleteSending you hugs and healing energy, my friend. I'm very glad my blog helps too.
Love to you.
We need to get this "pressing" going that you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteHaha. You are too funny. I'm on it. No, actually, I'm not. Not ever. Sorry, Mike.
Delete😪
DeleteDo you have a torpedo bra?
ReplyDeleteI don't, Diane. I don't even know what that is, but I can imagine. I don't need one. I have plump melons and don't want them to stick out more.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHaha. You're making me bust a gut. Did I say "bust"?
DeleteI've never tried to publish anything on Amazon but I hope you find the help you need to get it done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary.
DeleteI think I'll be fine. I have lots of good, skilled techie people in my life. Alone, I'm truly inept at this.
Be well.
I always have to call in help with publication. But I think I'm getting better.
ReplyDeleteLove the comments. Read them as a flow and it sounds like a conversation among the hard of hearing.
Ugh. Amazon, KDCreate...it's all insane. Did you know that we turn pages from Left to Right, according to them, Elizabeth? This is one of their newer developments. I'm pulling my last hairs out.
DeleteHaha. Your perspective on the comments makes it even funnier. Thanks, friend. Hugs.
Glad you're getting close to publication, and getting some help from Debra Who Seeks! Funny comments, always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteSandy's Space
Thank you, Sandy.
DeleteSorry for my business and slowness in making the circuit, by the way.
Take care.
Hang loose. It's all going to pull together great for you. As always, the comment collage is funny - you make us all better.
ReplyDeleteAh, that's high praise. Thank you, Joanne.
DeleteI appreciate you.
You will do great and have a good friend in the Canuck:).
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear.
DeleteStay well and warm.
