Hey,
Y'all. Due to the
amount of time I'm taking to blog about the election (yesterday's was over
3,600 words, although some were articles), there will be no newsletter
this week nor next week. I do have a few quick announcements,
below. Try to
survive without me. [I know, but try....]
Just wanted to clear something up. Someone e-mailed me
yesterday, shocked that my blog wasn't about the publishing industry. This
newsletter covers the publishing industry. My blog is a personal blog not
linked to the agency. It's at www.welcometomyworlds.com
That's MY worlds, not the
publishing world. I'd hate to "shock" anyone else. If ya know me, I'd
think I'd have squeezed all the shock outta ya by
now.
Plans for the blog. I had my rant, got the
name-callin' out of my system. Right now, I'm reporting substantiated
facts. After the election is over the "Welcome to My Worlds" column in the
newsletter will be on my blog exclusively. So, if ya want the funny stuff,
ya gotta read it on the blog.
Until then, anyone may post on my blog, for either candidate. Everyone is welcome. I'll treat those who post opposing views with respect ... after I gently correct their flawed thinking.
TEMPORARY CHANGE IN SUBMISSION POLICY
AT MORTIMER LITERARY!
For the 30 days of November, anyone on
active duty in the military, any veteran, or any parent who has a child
serving, or their child is a veteran, is welcome to submit a query letter
following the guidelines on my site. This includes those in the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and
Reservists.*
Any genre except Erotica, even if my
site says I'm not looking for the genre you write in. A great story is a
great story. If it isn't for me, I'll attempt to find something in your
query letter I can give you some helpful feedback
on. I wish I could convey with words the
gift you've given me by taking your life in your hands to protect me and
the greatest country in the world. I hope this small gesture of gratitude
will show my appreciation. I hold you in the highest regard, and if I
could, I'd join you. I did ask my daughter to go in my stead, and she
served a tour of duty in
If you could see me now, I'm not only
saluting you, but honestly, and I hate to admit this, I'm shedding
tears [and I ain't a tear-shedding gal]. I AM PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR
FAMILIES FOR YOUR UNSELFISH SACRIFICES FOR OTHERS.
*Note. Please don't e-mail asking if you can query because your
cousin, parent, neighbor, or best friend is in the military. Only the
examples listed above qualify.
STILL TIME TO WIN THE MORTIMER
LITERARY MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
You can submit until November 15th. Details at www.mortimerliterary.com under "For Writers" 
Read my blog before you vote, no matter who you're voting for. YOU CAN NEVER BE "TOO INFORMED" WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING SOMEONE WHO WILL GUIDE THE COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS!
That's all for this week. May God bless and keep you. Kelly t |
