Good luck.

And are you enjoying your stay in the Cantina, Silver?

Quick question, is Lyrical Press more of a romance publisher or fantasy publisher? Someone recommended them to me for Fantasy, but I'm looking through their website and they look to be more Romance-heavy. Anyone know?

They do SF/F, but I think they tend to have a romantic focus.

Have you ever tried to use a pair of scissors with the hand you don't normally use?

Goodness me, it's tough.

i can slice bread and pour tea though. The essentials are covered.

That may be because they're other-hand scissors? You have left-handed and right-handed scissors

That's the important bit, though.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Is Entangled the same way?

I never considered that. I'll check.

I've got into a real can of wormes with this idea eh?

Can someone just explain to me really briefly and in small words how RSS works so I can follow y'all's blogs? It scares me.

Also, get off my lawn.

Do you mean as in making a bookmark type thing from an RSS feed 10s? I can kind of explain that.

It is the 'Mammoth Book of Apocalyptic SF', edited by Mike Ashley. Twenty-four short stories by people like Stephen

Ahh, I got that for my kindle a while back. Haven't started it (too many books in the TBR pile!), but it looked quite good.

The user end is: you get the rss URL from the blog (usually something similar to www.thing.com/feed?rss - but not exactly that) and copy it. Then you go into your RSS reader (I use Mozilla Thunderbird, because I already have it as my email program) and us the subscribe function (in Thunderbird, you right-click on the Newsfeeds section) - there will be a place to put in a feed URL. Paste it in and click OK. Then, whenever you open your program, it automagically checks for new posts. You can then open/view the posts in your reader. I know Mozilla Firefox does feeds, too, but I don't know how to set it up off the top of my head. Any help?

He called again to say he still wants to be friends. I'm not calling back.

hillaryjacques said:

I don't understand. Like he thinks you're clingy and is being proactive, or he's clingy and pretends everyone is like that?

He thinks I'm needy depite my saying and demonstrating otherwise. Or he wanted me to be needy to balance his clingy. Whatever.

I know I'm not published, but I'm debating starting a blog/website to post free reads and etc. Maybe even post on the website I used to write on when I wrote just romance. This is my first time really writing Fantasy, and I kind of just want to get some feedback for my writing, if that makes sense. Does that seem like a good idea?

Hey, I'm not published either. Blogs are always a good idea.

Have you been to their website and reviewed their submission guidelines? That's the best way to see firsthand what a publisher is interested in.

Well, I did look at their Sub Guidelines and it said that they wanted Romance stuff, but someone suggested them to me for Fantasy. That's why I asked. I was confused.

Have I mentioned that my eyes glaze over with fear when I read "RSS"? But I think I got it figured out. The key was a browser based reader, so thank you!

Ok, while I adore you, and Clint Eastwood, it's two vastly different forms of adoration.


And the two should never, ever, EVER come together like that.

Ever. Again.




Because now you're a cranky old man with a gun that I sometimes say mildly inappropriate things to.

You, sir, are a braver man than I.

I'm not quite that stupid. Nor remotely that brave.



But that's what I got when I combined him with you.

Well, I started up a blog. Now just to post some stuff and wait for hopeful feedback.

Does anyone know to do a content rating on a Wordpress Blog by the way?

Welcomes! Glad you've got the rss sorted out, anyway! It's handy for knowing when new stuff appears.
