Good morning, Dearest (((((( Bro ))))))

: )

Isn't that the picture Mom took Easter? I love it. How did you get that butterfly to stay with you? Mine never did land. : )

Oh, yours landed alright....you tried to pull it's wings off. Mom stopped you. LOL

It is so good to see you. I've missed you. Did you have a nice Easter?

I had a wonderful Easter. Aunt Lou filled my gils. : ) Hope yours was special.

I wish I had the time to do all that leg work. I barely have time to write. If I had a partner to do the legwork I'd split the whole $10.00 profit 50/50 ; )

I can write about anything using my style or someone elses.

I once wrote a children's book but it wasn't on purpose ; )

The studious perusal of the Sacred Volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands.
--Thomas Jefferson

The happiest moments my heart knows are those in which it is pouring forth its affections to a few esteemed characters.
--Thomas Jefferson

Never trust a government that doesnt trust its own citizens with guns
--Thomas Jefferson

The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.
--President Thomas Jefferson

and for chocolate lovers...

The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain.
--Thomas Jefferson

Happy Thomas Jefferson Day!

JustAmy had a great idea. Take Mama Bear's graphics and Freeper Poems me, NicknamedBob and others and put them together.

Sometimes we write and she finds a picture. Sometimes she sends the picture and we write. It is a lot of fun.

Thanks for enjoying it.

LOL!

You're right, it's an incredible amount of legwork and follow through, trying to market a book. The publishing is the easy part!

Childrens' book publishing is sooo liberal, you almost have to self publish to avoid the PC brick walls.

Our little paperback book outsold Harry Potter in an independent bookstore in Evergreen, CO where the story takes place. A rep from Penguin Putnam was impressed with the sales, which led to a contract with them to publish it in hard cover. They even paid us a nice advance. That was early Sept. 2001.

Then 9/11 happened, and Penguin Putnam cancelled most of their acquisitions (but let us keep the advance :-)

Success is success, getting picked up by a publisher is success. I have never tried. I write as mental therapy and when people enjoy it, it is even more therapeutic.

You're prejudiced. Mama Bear's picture is so sweet. Most people think of colts I thought of youth and innocence.

I don't write poetry. Sometimes I use literary techniques when I write (like alliteration), but that's about it.

So explain to me again what you all want me to do.

LOL! You do not! (I'm the only illiterate one here! Did you look at the favorite FReepers thread? OMG! It sounds like we're in the company of constitutional lawyers!)
