Update: Community, ‘Storetry’, Twitter, Facebook & the Summer Solstice

Hey everybody.

I want to let everyone know that this upcoming week there will be no Storetry due to vacation time *YaY*  but it will return the following week July 2nd so keep an eye out for it.  Thank you to everyone that has participated so far.  I really love reading all of the submissions and piecing it all together.  It is a definite highlight of my week.  I am looking forward to publishing the ebook!

My Twitter account reached 500 followers today. Thank you all! I think it’s fantastic.  2 weeks ago it was at 230. I am really pleased to be connecting with you all and many others on different platforms.  We are pulling the community together and expanding it as well.

My FB page could use some love.  I’ve only recently started to give FB some attention.  I really like this platform because I can chat and communicate with you all easier.  I’ve gotten to know quite a few of you on a deeper level through FB.  So if you have a minute take a peek and give it a like….if it’s your cup of ‘Long Island Iced Tea’ 🙂

Today is the summer solstice.  Have a fantastic start to the summer and I hope that you enjoy the longest day of the year with family and friends.  If you are looking for a great drink to try tonight check out my newest post on my Mommy blog for a new tasty, fresh cocktail idea that my friend Seb came up with.

Late night Thought to Poetry: Partiality

Elated state of partiality

Intriguing pondering creations

Indifferent to the aquatic equation

Of molecular diversion

Perversions of dimensional aversions

Pay it Forward Thursday: PAY DAY Christina Jones and Newsletters

So I had a collaboration booked for this week with We Drink Because we’re Poets but something came up with on their end so the collaboration was unable to happen but watch for it in the upcoming months!

Stuck in a short time crunch and wanting to help some one on my Pay Day Thursday I thought it a great opportunity to introduce you all to Christina Jones.

Christina approached me recently asking to interview me for her upcoming news letter and I agreed.

The interview will be available in July and you if you are interested in learning more about me and my journey to becoming the blogger that I am today please sign up for her newsletter to read the interview.  I asked Christina about the process of developing a newsletter as I do not have one for my blog and it is something that I am interested in doing.

Given the free block of time I felt it a great opportunity to give Christina some exposure and to interview her as well.

Finding images to use on your blog can help or hamper your blogging goals

Hi everyone.

I just want to take a moment to share some very helpful information that I came across recently.

I had an issue with using a copyrighted image with out proper permission.  I by no means did this intentionally as I am sure many others have done but it was brought to my attention when the photographer approached me.

The issue was resolved simply but I felt terribly about it afterwards especially considering how important I feel it is to respect others work. Continue reading

Purposely

It could have been me

but it’s not

The lessons I learned

I long forgot

We all have a shot at this life

No time to struggle or strife

But time to use the perspective lens

Examine those bothersome trends

Well wishes for distant friends

I take a little from there

And bring it with me here

To where I’m going to be

Life is about choices

Trying on our different voices Continue reading

Help: Approaching Publishers vs. ebook/self publishing

So here I am at a crossroads and with questions that I think you may be able to help me with.

My plan is to self publish my poetry book.  It will be an ebook compilation of my poetry.  Seems like a simple enough process and people have shown an interest so I am looking forward to the release of that with in the next month or 2.

Now in my previous post I revealed the 2 first pages of my book along with a poem synopsis on what you can expect to see from my novel.  Both can be found on my blog the poem is entitled The Vault of the Exalted and the first 2 pages were posted yesterday so you can check them out if you’d like.

By the Fire

Sitting by the fire

It pops and crackles

Snapping like a crispy cracker

Except louder

Each crackle

And pop makes my heart stop

Makes me want to burst into flames

A burning pain

In my soul Continue reading
