Happy Mars Direct!

[BlueIris]

I would try to find a "safety dance" smiley but I don't want to jinx my improvement in mood.

Now we'll see some action, I think.

Good luck!

1. Finally!

2. Finally, indeed.

I'll be happy if people just start answering their emails and phone messages!

5. My book went live as a paperback today!

Feels fantastic to finally have it finished and out in the world. (It's called Inhuman Resources, about the murder of a homeless woman in Seattle.)

6. Fantastic!

Be sure to mention it in the marketplace here!

8. Are you going to convert it to ebook format sometime?

I'm not buying too many physical books anymore (I still do, if there's no Kindle version.) Do you have an excerpt online somewhere we can read? I wouldn't mind taking a look

Copngratulations on getting it out there, too. I know it will be a relief for me whenever I can get mine organized properly, edited and finished!

[The Blue Flower]

13. You can get a free Kindle app at Amazon

If you download it onto your computer, you can then get the book.

[kentauros]

14. Well, I don't have a smart-phone,

but I do have a Kindle (and a computer, and a format-converter program, mainly for seeing how my stuff looks on a Kindle)

Unlike many people, I don't mind reading books on my computer. I do it all the time! Especially the writing and editing part

I'll go take a look for your book then.

7. We need to find a way of slowing down Terra's orbit,

so that all of the other planets are always direct!

9. mars direct?

Too much violence in the world; it seems that mars station jammed everything up, including me. I have been simmering with anger and exhausted.

Mars has been sitting on my natal saturn and wont budge till the month's end. I am trying to practice 'serenity now' and not take the judgments of others to heart. I am power walking 6miles daily to burn off the frustration and getting lot of housecleaning done. But professionally people are getting on my last nerve.

[murielm99]

10. How do you do that?

Not take others' judgments to heart? Please tell me how it works for you. I can't manage that at all.

[noel711]

15. Bless you Muriel...

I try to see with compassion..into what motivates them to judge...
sometimes stepping out of myself... helps me get beyond the judgments.

I've lived for years trying to make everyone happy,
but I've learned that I'm not here to make everyone happy..
I have a goal and a path to get there, but pleasing everyone
isn't it. I try to be pleasant, helpful, loving,
and if in some small way I can help you on your journey,
but ...

I guess too much scar tissue has built up around my battered,
oft-broken heart. Don't like who I am, or what I do?
That's life....

sounds callus I guess... but life is too short to dance
to the tune of another's music...

[MorningGlow]

16. Mars direct indeed

I got "the call" today--an agent offering to represent my novel. Here's hoping everything keeps moving forward as well as it's doing right now!

[Howler]

17. WOO HOO!!!!

Congratulations Morning Glow!!!!!

[MorningGlow]

21. Thanks, Howler!

[kentauros]

20. Hay, that's great!

I hope it all keeps moving forward for you, too! Let us all know the details as you get them

I also got a call today. For an interview tomorrow with a large engineering firm here in town. If I get the position, the contractor told me the wage is fairly high. That is, the lowest in the range is about 50% more than my last position!

It does seem like "A New Day" today

[MorningGlow]

23. Kewl!!

That sounds really promising! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

[BlueToTheBone]

24. Woo Hoo!

Happy dance of joy for you!!!!
Congratulations, you Authoress, you!

[MorningGlow]

25. Thank you kindly, Blue!

[BlueToTheBone]

22. So, on Sunday, I fell

and broke my knee cap! Yikes! The first hour was really horrible, but the pain is pretty much gone (if I don't even come close to bending it) But what the heck does this mean?

[MorningGlow]

26. Ouch!

Sorry to hear that. No idea what it means other than take care of yourself and heal up!

[Sanity Claws]

27. Ooooh!

Just reading about your broken knee cap makes me wince.
How are you managing? What's the prognosis?

[BlueToTheBone]

28. Prognosis is great

I knew what to do to take care of myself. I only got the xray to make sure I hadn't shattered it with little pieces of bone floating around. It was a clean break...sort of a sheared off part (I hit the edge of the sidewalk) BUt, arnica gel and comfrey leaf poultice will get me well soon.

Believe it or not, unless I try to do something weird, there is no pain. It's uncomfortable using my right side so much (my right shoulder is sore from hoisting myself) but soon, I'll be fine. But it's just the continuation of shit that I'm going through right now.

[Howler]

29. OOOOOOUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That hurts just to think about!!!!! Oh Man sending Get better soon Vibes!!!!
