I've seen a lot of postings here about how much anyone can learn about us on the internet. What makes me question just how much research is really being done is things like getting fund raising letters from both the Republican and Demacratic parties in the last few days. Obviously one of them has it wrong unles I'm even more mixed up than I thought. And obviously neither one has access to my bank records. Or maybe they just didn't ask google.
My sister in law who bills herself as the world's greatest bargain hunter dropped off a bag of used shirts today. I have no idea where she got them but she said to pick out any that fit me and she would pick up the rest later. Besides men's shirts there were several skirts and women's tops. We all know were this would go, right? The truth is that the woman must have been some kind of Amazon or WNBA player but in our story they would be a perfect fit for the bearded old man who just had to try them on.
I see a lot of authors here talking about publishing their stories. They all seem to be talking about self publishing. Others have pointed out that there is not a lot of money to be made this way. Perhaps another way to go would be to get a manuscript as ready to publish as you can and submit it to an agent or ten. Acceptance is probably a long shot but you will never know if you don't try. If you fail the self publishing option remains; if you succeed you might find your book supported by a major publisher.
This appeared in the comments for her story published last week I think it got pushed off the front page by new comments before many people saw it.
Sadly I must report that the Adventures of Alexa and Jenny have come to an end.

Passed away unexpectedly last week. A heart attack. She will be missed greatly!

I've posted all three of my stories here right after writing them and then found errors after they were posted. I also know that I usually do a better job of editing and proofreading if I let something sit for a couple of weeks to get more distance from it. Are you seeing clumsy wording, missing words or other flaws consistently in the stories? I'm thinking of keeping any new stuff for awhile before posting. I'm asking for criticism here and I won't be offended by anything you say (well maybe if you get crude about it).
