…I never got to take off that Publisher hat and then put Promoter hat on top of that.  In the midst of thinking on 1000 THINGS I suddenly thought, what the hey? Let’s just go to San Diego!! New business cards!  Water! Snack! (oops, ate that already) Paperwork! Properly packed bag! (tissues, hand sanitizer, gum) [...]

…and under that header, I’ll just talk about myself, the mom of one Cat! Topic of moment: Internet socializing.  Miz J. sent me an interesting link about maintaining (or establishing, if you’re starting out), one’s Online Identity.  It’s a very good article especially when you read the comments section.  The thing is, as El Presidente [...]

…This is the week of catch up (or fall behind, depending on how you see things ). Lots has happen since the Saturday before last, where I attended the latest panels hosted by the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (GLAWS). Since joining GLAWS last year I finally had the time to attend their panel presentations [...]

So letting people know that Charm School #7 was uploaded in Full (for a limited time) is how long overdue?  Har Har.  Oh wait, I laffed outloud.  Anyway, yes, I’ve been uploading Charm School issues after #4 for Full Preview for a limited time.  I’m doing this really to help those who have gaps in [...]
