Hi Folks,
Peeking in from the rarified world of writing, edits and such. I was just doing a who links to me search on this blog and discovered that the review I’d requested from Bloggy Award had been posted since February, mind you!
Boy have I really been out of it.
Anyway, we’re looking pretty good — Overall experience 8, but don’t take my word for it. Check it out yourself.
Peace,
Dee

Hi again folks,
Don’t think I haven’t been missing the daily interaction, I’ve just been trying to figure out how to grow an extra pair of arms and legs. This authoring business is grand, fantabulous, ego-boosting, larger than life etc. But it is also time-consuming, nervewracking and a bit lonely at times. At least for me anyways. Add to that the addictive nature of the bi-polar and you have someone who eats, talks, sleeps, studies, reads and even prays (sorry God) books!
One of my friends even inquired if I was bloggins elsewhere because she knows I’m such a blog-a-holic and couldn’t fathom that I wasn’t blogging, which I wasn’t at the time, but… just yesterday I was checking out this independent online bookstore that caters to self-published authors when I noticed that they had a new feature!– You guessed … blogs! So… Here We Go … Again.
In addition, the new Dee4111 WP blog has a new face, specially designed for me by my blog buddy, fellow writer, creative genius and honorary soul sister–Jayne D’Arcy. I explained to her what I wanted and she took the ball, ran with it and came up with a slam dunk! I hired someone to convert this theme, but that didn’t work out, but I think you’ll be happy with the new face of Dee411.
BTW … I’m iz famous! My face and (body) can now be seen in the Body Love section of CURVES’ Spring 2006 issue of Diane Magazine. I’m told this has a distribution of 1.5 million. Waaa hoooo! Tell me dreams don’t come true. In my twenties, (some seventy pounds ago) I would have given up much (besides food, housing and clothing i.e.) to have this happen. But God’s sense of humor and timing, as always, is right on point. I have more self-appreciation now than I had at twenty-two, in fact my voraiouse goal of seeking after God’s heart since the year 2001 has now begun to result in the (” … all other things will be added unto you” and the “…desires of your heart” part of the scripture). It’s all about priorities. God wants our love, our fealty, our worship… not for what He can and will do, but because we acknowledge and give it because of Who He is … All that we will ever need.
Okay, gotta run … this lost hour is playing heck with my already erratic sleeping pattern.
Be blessed in all your undertakings!
Peace,
Dee

For those of you just joining us and unaware of my bookcover dilemma, reading this and this will get you up to speed.
For the regulars, this is where I’m at:
Cover No. 4:
No, this cover will not replace cover number three, but it will work in conjunction with cover number three. Not one to give up easily when I have a thought in mind, I recalled a book format that I’ve come across from time to time.
In that format two entire books would be printed in one volume and both would have their covers, the catch?
The second book’s cover would be smack dab in the middle of the book. A book, within a book, so to speak, I often thought it was pretty neat, because I like to have visuals to match the words I’m reading. But maybe that’s just me?
I’m not quite sure how I feel about all the aqua, but it would be in greyscale anyway, so that’s not really an issue. I just like the concept.
Anyway… there you have it. My brilliant solution–for today.
What are your thoughts?
