We have a baby! We have a baby!

Little boy, Corban Fisher Mill 6# 6 oz Born at 12:47 this afternoon. Mother and baby are fine, daddy is proud as a peacock.

Wish I could send you some rain—parts of our county got 10”—again—last week.

No over-pinging here! Don’t always have time to answer, but I enjoy them! Too bad we don’t live closer—I think You and I would get along famously! LOL

Re: breakfast casserole—I have that same recipe, not by that name—too funny. It is a good one, and it does not have to be refrigerated overnight. I have made it many times after work for a quick supper. Very tasty!

Writing lots, part of why I don’t spend much time on FReeper. The print shop that publishes the paper I have my article in is starting to do books. I may just go with her, since it would be much easier than to keep looking for an agent/publishing house. Some of my stories are set locally, so I think once I had them printed, they would sell well here. It’s worth a try anyway. I’m not looking to be the next Nora Roberts, and very few writers make it to that kind of status anyway. I am looking at a new laptop, and the Apple store is only 2 miles from baby sister’s house. We’re going up this weekend to see the baby. :)

The trick with the bi-focals worked, thanks! I can see now, but my depth perception is shot. :)

How wonderful new life is.

Corban is loved and wanted, so he has had his first blessing.

Yes, if you were closer, we would create the world, what fun.

Good, I am glad you are writing, and don’t stop.

Local is fine, and possibly better, You will know who you are working with.

With the local area as subject material, it will sell for years in the local museum and gift shops.

Keep in mind that many of the experienced writers self publish and do well with it.

I know that Mike Savage has the last couple that he brought out. One is brand new subject material, of the stories that he tells on air of his life and the other was on raising kids the natural way.

The kid book was 25 years old and out of print, he said 25,000 were ordered, before he went to print, 5,000 in the first week end.

LOL, I forgot, who I also heard on the radio a few days ago, said he had written the articles over the years, then put them into a book and was amazed at how well they sold.

As I understand it, Nora Roberts does not write every book under her name, nor does Danielle Steel, LOL, I know that name is not quite right, I can tell you the subjects of her books, but never have remembered her name.

And if you have not read her book on the Titanic, it is fantastic.

Smiles, as I think, “Goody, now she can write a new childrens story for Corban. A happy one, or one about his history, before it disappears.
