As in the past, I may post something about writing, something personal, something random or even all the above.
Or if I have a REALLY off week, I might just post a photo or two. ;)
It's been a busy month and I've had to skip a couple of my posts but hopefully May will find me back on track. So my small things to celebrate this week:
- A fantasy short story I wrote was published in an anthology, all proceeds benefiting an author friend who is fighting cancer. Hey, it's only .99, why not give it a try! Flights of Fantasy
- Today I am meeting with a local Ecuadorian fellow who does graphic design. We have bought a couple of pillows from him. I'm hoping he will allow me to use some of his designs for book covers. They would go on the middle school series, 7 of Seven, that I'm working on. Keeping my fingers crossed, he is a very talented and hard working youngster.
Here are some samples of designs he has on pillows and puzzles.
I love his flare for design and am hopefuly we can work something out.
- My writing group, Writing Our World (in Cuenca), is still going strong. We have over 30 members and most meetings have 10-15 attend. We have romance, mystery, science fiction, memoirs, children's, poetry and non-fiction all represented as well as several editors. Everyone enjoys the networking and about half the attendees stay for the hour+ of quiet writing time.
I have several small things to celebrate from last week. Thanks to you and Nancy!!
ReplyDeleteCustom art for your book covers, that's pretty cool. Those three beautiful pieces have a very indigenous feel to them. My mother's family is from Ecuador, and I have a ton of things that look like that type of art around my house. It's warm and inviting. I love it.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope you can work something out with the designer.

It feels good, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteThe talk went well today but I told him I didn't expect him to answer right away. Sent the text of the first story (completed) and WIP for him to review.
ReplyDeleteThanks, definitely keeping my fingers crossed!
