    Hi Stacy… :]

    Hope you are havin’ fun!
    Some friends and I are doing a wine tour of the Santa Ynez Valley wineries over the week-end—it’s one of those packaged tours with a driver and hotel accommodations…so we don’t have to be worried about getting totally faced. :D

    See ya…

    I did check out the Kindle store, and apparently I need more than just a kindle app. *has downloaded two* I'd need a real kindle which I dunno when I'll be able to get that. I was wondering though, since you won't be on WR anymore, I'd love to be able to still contact you. Do you have Facebook, AIM, or an e-mail you'd like to give me? I'd love to still be able to talk to you.

    Hey Stacy,

    I was wondering, how do you get your work into a kindle? You said you've used your kindle to edit and I'd love to do the same. Thanks!

    I might, when I get that far. I'm actually pretty far behind as far as the whole publishing business goes. I'm not very good at editing and so I kept jumping to new projects. I'm actually editing a novel for the first time right now and I'm just on the first edit. I'd like to edit twice before I even give it to Beta readers. Then...yeah, you know. XD But thank you for that suggestion I will look into it.

    I don't write erotica though, actually I kind of worry about my romance novels in that field. I'm pretty young (20, will be 21 next month) and don't have much experience in that field and so my work doesn't tend to be that physical but I enjoy writing in a more adult ages rather than high school but I figured a publisher or literary agent could tell me if I should add more scenes eventually. Also, never know what editing will do.

    ...well...I figured, why wait til I do something stupid before I send flowers. :D

    like...I'm doin' now.
    I’ve grown tired of all those leading (and ultimately pointless) questions on the WR’s group. So, I posted one of my own.

    Hello Stacy

    Thank you Stacy; the burrito question came up, as I was writing, go figure. I have not had a burrito that tasted that good since my trip to Texas. (lol) Amazing how good something tastes when you are hungry. I have never been a model (lol), but my eating and work habits often combine for “expanding borders”. I really must remember to exercise more and eat less, or at least smarter.

    Your statement about some of your fans and admirerers was the reason I was tentative about contacting you too often. It seems to be the rule that the more public you are, the more weirdoes you attract. Perhaps it is related to one of our earlier discussions, the instant society. Some think they can become famous by being associated with a famous person; the same unfortunately for writers or any profession. There are those that think by being associated with certain professionals, they become one themselves.

    Perhaps I should post my “Studio, done up photo to the site”. (lol)

    Take care and keep smiling.

    Hello Stacy

    Thank you for your heart felt words; I probably am just too sensitive at times. I did not wish to appear to be an obsessive groupie (lol). Do you have groupies? (lol). The electronic media is devoid of face-to-face communication of course. As we have seen even here on Shelfari, anonymity breeds idiocy at times. My editor and I were talking about this; she says she is so afraid of identity theft or making mistakes with on-line banking. (lol)

    I do have an earth-shattering question for you. I was in Texas a few years back and ate; I think it was called a Burrito? The fellow came around with a little stand like a hotdog vendor, but he was selling these wraps filled with meat, spices and maybe a vegetable or two. It was fantastic, just wondering if my memory is correct. I cannot remember if it was Dallas, Galveston or Houston. I was away from the main city area at the time, picking up a load to take to California. (Yes, I was a long haul truck driver once).

    Take care Stacy and keep pounding those keys…that is what I must now go and do…the great novel is calling to me (lol).

    Hello Stacy

    Good to hear from you again, I feel bad that I may have disturbed your flow of ideas. I am just one of those people that often has too much of the caring gene (lol). The only posts I look for here are usually yours and Tina F. With you missing, there was a bit hole here.
    I admit I have not been here much lately either, after the last flare up on one of the threads, it seems that the exchange of ideas and information has been very slow. I have noticed a devolving into the chitchat style of postings. Perhaps I just need more coffee in my system.

    Glad to hear about your latest novel! Way to go, it will be great! I have been dropping your name about in the writer’s association I joined. Here is a laugh for you; they voted me in as Vice President of membership. I am working with an editor on my novel as well, I hope to put into practice those things you and the others have discussed here.

    Stacy would you mind if I posted some of your articles or small posts on my website? I think you and Tina have much to offer new writers and I would like to share your ideas with others.

    Well I have babbled on enough, I hope you will keep in touch with me from time to time. I think your knowledge and experience in the world of writing is important, at least to me as a new writer.
    Take care and keep pounding on those keys, your next novel is calling.

    Hey Stacy how are you doing? Have not seen many posts by you. I hope it is because you are busy writing away. Take care.

    Stacy

    I thank you for opening up to me like that; I really hope that you do become a legend, and then I can say I knew you when….

    I am still searching I think for the niche to write in. I like fantasy, but also humour. One of my books called “It’s a Buddy’s World” is a collection of short lighthearted stories about life in general. I had several interviews on radio stations for it and it felt good to make people laugh and be happy. With a background in Psychology, I did include the hurting side of life as well, but wrote it with love and compassion. People seem to love my stories about my cat that thought he was a dog, or losing someone off the back of my motorcycle.

    The other side of that book is about depression, suicide, loss of loved ones and doubt. I think people need a trusted friend and listener. That is what I aimed for in that book, and some people actually sought out help because they realized they were in a depression. I have been an instructor, mentor or listener most of my life, the nurturer I guess (lol).

    However, today I have decided to move forward. I have four projects on the go and it is time to move them along. Made contact with an editor/writer and we will begin this weekend on the largest project. The others are started but I want to go over the first few chapters of each, they just do not feel right. I shall become less of a schizophrenic and direct energy into one.

    I tried freelance but it is just not my style, fighting with governments or organizations can be depressing. I like to do investigative writing, but it is not being true to my heart. I am a big kid at heart; I believe life should be lived. This of course makes me very weird to my friends (lol). My life philosophy is very simple: “If it does not feel right it probably is not”. This goes for jobs, careers and people. Therefore Stacy, if you becoming a legend in the world of writing feels good and right…then it probably is your destiny and you should go for it, at least until if feels wrong to you in your heart.

    Take care

    A friend of mine called it "The Micro-Wave Generation". They want instant everything: success, fame and fortune. Oh and we must not forget the Internet instant love and wife one. Sometimes I think I read the news too much (lol), that's why I like writing, I can have the goodguys win. I should thank you again for the chatting we have been doing here, it is good to just chat sometimes with a decent person.

    Stacy my hats off to you, you are one informed basketball fan. That's good, I have been put off major sports since they started making more money than the GNP of some countries. I wouldn't mind if the players played with the same fire, and some do. But you get the prima donas and I just get put off I guess. Ok, my waa waa for the day. (lol)

    You caught me, mind working but not up to speed ha ha. I go used to hearing them when I was living near there, nostalgia took over the brain cells for a moment. Oops. It is funny when you think about the number of teams that have moved in the sports world, but us old die hard fans still remember them as...the original place they were from.

    Bud the befuddled one (lol)

    You can always do what I do: if my favourite team loses, I pull for the underdog in every series. It feels great when the team that was not supposed to win, or be there, wins it all.

    I am a Celtics fan in basketball, although I will pull for Seattle if they do well, closer to home.

    Cheers

    Ha Ha, no you did not confuse me too much. It is just that sometimes people confuse me by using labels such as is it a short story, a novella or a novel. My answer is it is a good story read it. I do get exasperated at times (lol). Thank you Stacy, I have come to trust your judgement and opinion here.
    Oh yes, how did the basketball playoffs go? My team is in the second round of the Stanley Cup. It works; playoffs do get you out of the blues (lol).

    Happy Writing
