Yay. Thanksgiving’s coming. My birthday’s coming too, oi. I get to get fatter and older in one month. Nothing like a blocked artery and a stint for a present. Speaking of presents, Christmas isn’t yet quite on layaway but (gulp) is frighteningly in sight. All I want is some good news. Like the government quit because they grew a conscience. A market rally’ll work. Maybe we have one. I’d also like to see, you know, some MORE ACTIVITY at the site!!!
Jeez. I wanna’ read sonething that takes my breath away. Get some feedback. Interact. Make it like a crazy writers singles club. Hey there… Oh well, I’m working on getting more writing work every day and while January looks like I’ll finally have some overflow work to dole out again (Yes Theresa, I haven’t forgotten you), praps we’ll be able to steer some freelance work out pre-Xmas, though DEFINITELY post holidays we will have some.
On the home front, our very own Dave Scotese will be on a cool radio show that goes out to about 250,000 people. It’s called Short Order and is hosted by Sue Vogan. The show will be focused on the corruption our very own Prometheus faces in scientific research in Pakistan, as we’ve discussed in the past. We at Litmock are proud to help our brother, and I’m proud of my pahdner, friend and publisher Dave for fighting the good fight. It’s the only kind of fight I’ve ever seen him partake of. The show airs at 6 P.M. December 15th and can be found online here: www.contacttalkradio.com/hosts/suevogan.htm
Also, our good friend Prometheus wants all of Litmocracy to know of this publishing opportunity at an upcoming author seminar. In brief:
