Quiet on the Set!

I’m actually writing this on Sunday, something I wouldn’t normally do.

All indie creators need to see this. Especially indie authors, who don’t even have a union.

The Final Part of the Antitrust Hearing Thing/Report/Recommendations

Pretend this is me, not giving a damn. (Photo by Rebe Pascual on Unsplash)

Hi everyone. Well, I, this weekend I just had to kind of shut myself down a little bit. I mean, I actually went online both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday, it’s like, I started to think, what am I doing? What am I doing to myself? I’m going online every single day doing stuff. And I, I don’t think it’s good for me to do that. So I am seriously, seriously thinking of taking a break either on weekends or just one day of the weekend from all online activity. Seriously. I’m, I’m just really starting to think about that. Except maybe Duolingo. <Laugh> I like keeping up my, I know it’s an algorithm, but you know, I can’t help myself. Yeah. I’m addicted. That’s what happens. You become addicted to this stuff and it’s like, you have to do it or you feel like, oh, you know, I haven’t done something that I should. No, you don’t have to.

National Book Lover’s Day

08/09/2022 by Debbi

Today is National Book Lovers Day.

To quote from the article:

Book Lovers Day appreciates the medium that has withstood and preserved its importance in time — literature. Our love for books knows no bounds — someday we’ll write a book on it.

The modern book is made by binding paper, but before the invention of paper, books came in the form of tablets, scrolls, and engravings. Every civilization had its own way to document events. Some time in 3500 B.C., the Mesopotamians would make markings on clay tablets using a pointed device, made from the stem of the reed plant, called the calamus. These writings on the moist clay were called ‘cuneiform.’ Approximately 20,000 of these tablets were discovered in modern-day Iraq.

And here’s how books are made! By the Big Five publishers, that is. 🙂 And other publishers with huge print runs.

Of course, you could always do this. I would, but my office is so crowded, it barely holds my computer, my desk, and the growing stack of books I’ve been reviewing.

And I’m working as hard as I can to achieve this! 🙂

PS: Here’s something you might want to check out.

And don’t miss this! 🙂 Speaking of … 🙂 I wonder how many of those were written in-house.

More to come on that.

Finally, in even more interesting news.

 

Lessons From Law School – Part One

03/08/2022 by Debbi

Okay. Uh, hi! 🙂 Yeah, this is just something I’m gonna pass along, cause I’ve always thought it kind of funny. When I was in law school, I had an evidence teacher, Larry Gibson, Professor Larry Gibson, who is a big figure in legal circles around here. Anyway, he’s a really nice guy too, and a great teacher.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
