I've had a young-adult science fiction novel I've been trying to get published for ages now, but haven't had the overwhelming ambition to go all-out to catch an agent to get published. (Still gotta work to eat, don't'cha know!) Then I received an e-mail notification from Barnes & Noble about their newest e-book program, called "PubIt!" that lets you self-publish your own e-book. I looked through the conditions and rules, saw my profit would be a whopping 65% of every sale instead of the expected 15% or so in print publishing, and realized I really have nothing to lose. So, I now have a published 137,000-word e-book! YAY! I've posted the cover art here on deviantART, along with a link to the book's bn.com page search.barnesandnoble.com/Silv…, if anybody wants to see, and maybe hopefully be interested enough to buy...! =]
Still here...
Heh. Since my last entry was six months ago, I figured it was time to update. =]
Mom just had cataract surgery on her right eye yesterday, so I've been busy dripping eyedrops into it since two days beforehand. It really wasn't that bad of an experience, for either of us, though she said the drops the doctor put in at the start of the proceedure did most certainly sting like the dickens! She can see better in that eye already, even though it's still dilated a good bit. She's getting her left eye done on July 6th, and I think both our nerves will be settled down this time.
Our four acres of highly landscaped yard are coming along nicely
::gasp!:: AN UPDATE!
::eyeballs date of last journal entry:: Huh. I really am *not* into the frequent-journal thing...! I just don't think my everyday life is going to interest anybody but me and the people directly involved in it. ::shrugs::
Our veterinarian surprised us when we brought her our annual batch of Christmas cookies (you simply MUST spoil a good vet with low rates, you know!!). I have a plastic-spine binder machine, and we've done home-made calendars with touched-up photos of our cats for the last couple years as Christmas presents. Apparently our vet has a several people who want to *buy* our cat calendars for 2010! ::still trying to pry jaw
Happy-Sad Day
Happy Day--because my partners and I got our brand new website on cat behaviorism up and running: TheCatsCouch.com www.thecatscouch.com (Where you can find out "Why is my cat *doing* that?!") Wheee! I'm officially a Webmaster--even running an honest-to-gosh message board! =] Some of the style of illustrations from the site will be popping up here in a few days.
Sad Day--because we've had four cats die in the last six months...thankfully three of them lived long and happy lives with us...::sniffling:: Fuzzball had kidney failure at 13 years last fall; 19-year-old Me-Oh-My developed cancer in the roof of her mouth, and passed in January;
Starting out
Well. I've been finding so many interesting images on this site, I thought it was about time I shared a couple of my own. I've been side-tracked by writing for the last few years, both fan-fiction and original stuff, and haven't drawn as much as I'd like--but I got one of those *nifty* HP tablet-screen laptops recently...OOOOOOOH is it lovely for drawing! No more scanning things in, just draw right on the screen!
