As I reported on my other blog, I've had undependable Internet service since before Thanksgiving. That's why my Christmas gift suggestions for writers, which normally starts on Dec. 1, has been delayed until today.12 Days of Christmas
Starting tomorrow, for the next 12 days (Dec. 4 - 15), I'll give gift suggestions keyed to what writers want or what they would like. We writers are easy to buy for if you know where to shop. I've looked around and have a selection of gifts whose prices range from low to high, so there's something for every budget. Remember though, you, the writer, must drop the hints to the appropriate people in your life.
Dropping Hints
1. Leave the blog open so it appears on your monitor screen. That way your significant other or kids may happen to see it when they come to bother you - uh, I mean - to ask you when dinner's ready.
2. Print out the blog. Make several copies and leave them lying about.
3. Have conversations that begin with: "I was reading SlingWords, my favorite blog, the other day and saw this wonderful gift idea for writers. It even included the URL." If your loved ones are hint resistant, wistfully add, "I wish I had that."
4. Heck. Just order it for yourself and put a tag on it from the one who should have bought it for you in the first place.
Takeaway Truth
Gift giving is easy when one knows what to purchase.
when are you publishing the next chapter of "trouble with love"????
ReplyDeleteHi, Anon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I wish I could help you, but I don't publish the chapters. I wrote the book and sold it to Romantic4Ever.com.
They are supposed to publish a new chapter each month.
However, I do know that the publisher was out of the office for most of November so I suspect they may be behind in publication.
I can only suggest you check their website regularly. I'm sure they'll get the new chapter out soon.
I hope you've been enjoying the book. *g*. If so, tell others!
Best wishes,
