BORING MCWINDBAG'S BOOK IS OUT!!!!!!!
I count THIRTEEN grammatical/spelling mistakes in the synopsis/about the author section. Thirteen mistakes in 265 words (I know, RIGHT? She's concise for once!!)
Also, her book has the title, and her name (First Initial, Middle Initial, Last Name) on the cover.
She made sure to point out in the caption that "by the way this is my pen name".
BITCH THAT IS NOT A PEN NAME. THAT IS YOUR NAME.
Wanna see some status updates that have had me on EDGE all week? No, you don't. But you'll read them anyway. Because she holds a sick hold over everything.
October 6 Got more of my living room organized. My hole behind the couch will get better once I make a trip to my mom's to store the one box that is back there and straighten a few other things up behind there. One of these days I have to get DD a tote or box or something for her toys then her room won't look like a tornado went through her room. After I get my living finished I can start back the hallway. One day when H finally cleans up his clothes off the floor in the bed room I will finally be able to clean and organize that as well. Right all his clothes that he threw around the room are in a big pile. If he soon doesn't do something about them, they will be bagged and put in the shed. Same will happen to his tools if he doesn't get them put away and put his toolbox where the kids can't get in it. Now I have to dig something up for the kids for lunch. Have a good day everyone!
Working on the second book while waiting on the proof to the first one to get here. It shipped last night at 11:21, though it won't begin the journey to here until tomorrow sometime. I just hope I don't have to figure out how fix page breaks when there aren't any, or figure out how to put the chapter number where it needs to go when it should be there with out me trying to figure things out. fingers crossed that everything is perfect and I can give the okay to have it officially listed. Then I can figure out kindle stuff and how much it will cost me to have a version that way too. Have a good evening everyone! **this status is what a Professional Author might have called foreshadowing**
Had to share this. Our dog bit H in the butt because he picking on me! Thank you Snickers! That's all good night!
October 7 Feeling good about book number 2. Got a lot done with chapter 3 last night once the kids were in bed and I was able to get rid of distractions. I wonder if the ending will get done before the rest of it like the ending of book one did. Other getting that done last night, today I have a dr.'s appt for my asthma and DD has play group. I can't wait for the play group in a few weeks. We get to go to the pumpkin patch. Maybe go down to my mom and dad's later after DS is out of school so we can finally move the car into the barn down there and get the motor pulled so we can figure out what is wrong with it officially instead of playing a guessing game. Have a good day everyone!
Well, I can say this new insurance we due to H's job sucks. The prescription coverage is what sucks. My rescue inhaler use to only be $20 on the old insurance, with the * we have now it cost me $41.08 Never has it been that much. In fact looking at what our copays are to be that price could be wrong. Our copays should be $10 for generic $30 for preferred brand and $60 for Brand non-preferred. It makes me wonder if they even ran it through the insurance. I use to pay $20 for generic on the other insurance. Shall we say another trip to CVS to see if they even billed the insurance!
October 8 Watching last nights The Voice. Then DD's teacher will be here. Maybe i will get some writing done while DD is napping this afternoon. Didn't get any done yesterday, but we did get the car pushed into the barn and the hood is off. Apparently the heads filled with water. One more so than the others, and so far nothing horribly damaged. Need a water pump and all new gaskets yet again even though we just replaced them, also need a new thermostat and they want to put a new timing belt on plus the tire rod ends that have needed replaced that didn't have anything to do with with my car not running. So far that is all I need. Fingers crossed that I don't need new heads. New heads cost as much or more as the other parts I need put together. Have a good day everyone!
DS has a game tonight. Soon to head over to the field. H is still out fishing. Then after that who knows! Have a good evening everyone!
Well, going to sit in my chair with the laptop and work on the 2nd book. I'm getting antsy waiting for my proof copy to get here. I was notified that it was shipped on Sunday night at 11:21 pm. It said somewhere that it would be no later than the 15th that it will be here. Until then it is all about working on the 2nd book, well until the yellow tulle gets here so I can get the tutu for DD done. Then i have to find the extra money in our tight budget to get the other things I need so I can finish her costume. Anyway, have a good night everyone!
Okay, so didn't get much written tonight, but I can say I have moved on from chapter 3 to chapter 4. Only got about 1 1/2 pages done tonight, but I am really tired now, so I'm going to bed. Good night, Facebook land!
October 9 The yellow tulle for DD's bumble bee tutu came today, so now I have something to do to keep me occupied until my proof copy gets here. At least for a few hours anyway. It will take me about 1/2 hour or 45 minutes to cut all the tulle to the length I need for each piece, maybe 20 minutes to put stitches in the pieces I am using for the head piece. The 45 minutes give or take for me to tie the tulle pieces on the band to make the tutu. So that will take me only a couple of hours. This waiting sucks! You know it will be worth it in the end!
October 10 I Think when H goes to bed here in a little bit I will be getting on my Wii fit board. I need to check my weight even though I was just weighed at the dr.'s office on Monday. I know I have lost a few inches. on the belly and waist, but I couldn't remember my last weight when I weighed myself on the balance board. Some of my clothing is starting to get a little more loose. Slowly but it is happening!
So no such luck on loosing any weight according to the Wii fit board. It says I put on a pound, but then what the heck is up with one pair of pants that I had problems with getting on because they were too tight and now are easier to get on? You know what i don't care what the scale says as long as I can flatten out the belly fat some. That's all i will be happy with. As for right now, I'm writing while DD is watching cartoons on Disney channel. She has a love for her momma's favorite Disney character, Minnie Mouse. she also gets to inherit my childhood nickname Minnie. Have a good day everyone!
It's here!!!! AHHHH!!!!! My proof copy is here and before they said it would be! The problems I thought would be there are, but I will figure it out!! I'm just so excited! If you can't tell. There are only format issues. There are page breaks where there shouldn't be. I will find a way to fix it! My day just got better. Hope your day is as good as mine!
I think i have located my problem to all the page breaks and whatnot. Fingers crossed that I have it right this time around!
Well, still trying to figure out what is wrong. ERRRR! Anyway. I'm tired since i took Nyquil. Apparently I'm fighting a cold as well as dealing with allergies and both are setting of my asthma like crazy. Hopefully tomorrow I can figure out what is going wrong. Good night everyone!
October 11 ERRRR! The format stuff is making me mad. Every time I change it and save it it goes right back to the way it was! It is the paragraph format. Keeps giving me page breaks. Not sure how to keep it from doing it. In the process I'm getting frustrated. Ugh! Hopefully I figure it out soon.
Now that I believe I have finally figured out the problem, I'm reading through my proof to make sure everything is good. Leave it to me to use the wrong template. Now I have to move my other one to a different template too. Thinking I might change the size of the book as well. Right now I have a 6x9 book, but I might make it the next size or 2 smaller. More so so my cover photo doesn't look so stretched out.
I am going to rip my hair with this whole page break thing. Every time I think i have it fixed some other part is uploaded with a page break in it.
H got called in so no more tearing the car apart. I went to Sam's Club to get some stuff. Tomorrow we ride up with momma to the festival to watch the parade. That's about all we can do. H gets to sleep all day since he has to stay up most of tomorrow night to go in again for someone he switched with. Now back to work on fixing things and hope that maybe I can get it right this time with the book! Have a good night everyone!
Yay! Finally! Thanks to *website* support team helping me figure out what I can do to make sure it gets uploaded right I only have to convert from word document to a pdf file! So after I fix some last minute things I can convert and upload! Awesomeness! Hoping to get it done before I get too tired! Good night, again!
October 12 Mom says be ready around nine because she will be here. I'm ready and it going 10 am and she still isn't here and I can't get a hold of her. Late as usual! She will be later to her own funeral, as the family always tells her.
Had a fun day with mom, my gram and the kids. My feet hurt and I am tired, but we had a wonderful time walking around, watching the parade and getting sun burnt on the face. Have a good evening everyone!
Well, only another 24 hours and I should be able to make my book available for purchase. It will still be another few weeks before it will be available. Once I get the fee for the distribution to other books store outside of Amazon I will then make it so. I believe I have the thing almost perfect this time. There maybe grammar errors, but what book is perfect with a 1st edition. Oh and any of my friends and family that buys the book I will gladly sign it for you too. I'm kind of nervous about giving the final approval. After I approve it I can see about kindle version too. Sorry can't sign that lol! Now I'm going to lay down. My head is pounding from the sun. Have a good night everyone!
October 13 I got back from the store and had the email for approval of my book for the 3rd time after fixing it for the 3rd time. All it ever was really was spacing issues. I looked at and it practically perfect. I'm so nervous to hit the button to approve it for sale. I love it and I know my best friend loves, but I want others to love it too.

OHMYFUCKINGGOD. She must be prancing around all "Yeah, writing a book is pretty easy!" Yes, when your FB statuses are always that long enough to cause blurred vision and about absolutely fucking nothing, then cranking out a book would definitely seem easy.

I refuse, people. I REFUSE. Because someone will give me away, and although she's a bag of rocks, she's a nice girl and it would hurt her feelings. Andplusalso I am a good person. Andplusalso it would take my entertainment away.

H has a FB friend from high school who posts things like "Going to bed. Good night, Facebook." and "Going to work. Have a good day, Facebook.", etc. And he posts that shit MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I asked H if he ever posted "Taking a shit. See you in a few, Facebook!". He hasn't
Post by Ohhmm(bligo) on Oct 13, 2013 20:12:17 GMT -5
Yes, she talks about him exactly like this.
They are still FB friends, a fact endlessly fascinating to H and I. Does she hide him? Does HE hide HER? Do they just talk like this to each other all the time?

It really is a gigantic cocktease for you to dangle allllll of this entertainment in front of our noses and then excuse to tell us the name of the book.

Ummm...but you'd be doing HER a favor with all of the people who would rush to read it. And she'd feel soooo good about herself. Come on....
