Sunday Post 504



 
So I'm getting serious with this self publishing idea. I think I'm going to go with Royal Road and maybe Wattpad. And I'll continue to put my stories on the blog also. I was looking at To Love Is Human and thinking I want to continue that tale. What happened with Maia after she left? I think it's time to see. 

In other news I posted two more installments of my Camping story. I'm trying to decide if two or three a week is optimal- of course this is a blog about books, not my writing stuff, so I don't want to irritate my regulars.

Here is this week's lyric. 

You're the only one who really knew me at all       

Here is the lyric f/ last week and the answer      

I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it 
You got it easy     
       


   Song of the week


PULP COVER OF THE WEEK: 




I want to highlight some art that just screams to be a story. Some of the art from Youtube ambient channels is awesome.

    Just wanted you to know that I plan on catching up with your stories when I'm back from my hiatus...and aaah, I know this week's song so well...I have memories attached to it, too.

    So glad you are going to keep this story going. All the best to your writing! Gotta love that vintage cover too. Oh, the picture writing it could create which would probably be a far cry from the actual real novel.

    Well, the bad storm missed us, but it did hit some surrounding rural areas with huge hail and a couple of tornados.

    Thanks for your comments! All the best to a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!

    Great idea to put your camping story on the blog for all to read and follow. I'll get to it soon. I like the idea of camping but would always be looking over my shoulder for critters big and large, lol.

    Your writing is so fun I don't think anyone would be irritated to have more of it to read. :D

    Wouldn't it be Good!! That's the name of the song from last week! Is this week's Against all Odds by ... Phil Collins? Or Genesis? Have a great week, and good luck with the self-publishing! :)

    Definitely do it Greg! Don’t have any regrets in your life. I love this week’s song - I agree with Maree that it’s Phil Collins Against All Odds.

    As readers, talk about writing shouldn't annoy us! lol But it might for some I guess. I wonder if I should try to take the stories I have started and just put them on Wattpad and maybe as I get to the end of what I have written I'll get inspired to start writing again/finish them? Good luck with what you go with!

    I like how these weekend blog wanderings give such insights into the various bloggers and their interests in addition to reading. Your song videos, your internet art inspirations and definitely your pulp covers are always so entertaining! Have a terrific week.

    I'd say you do you on your blog Greg! But self publishing is a great idea! Maybe you'll end up signing your own book at events LOL. And Nik Kershaw is my youth!!

    Why not do both here? Writing about books and your own writing? No matter how you decide: Good luck for your writing. Have a great new week, Greg.

    It's awesome that you're writing and sharing your stories. I don't see any reason you can't share them here. It's your blog, after all!

    The art in that Floating Island ambient is very reminiscent of Studio Ghibli works. (Maybe it's actually from one of their films? I haven't seen enough of them to know for sure.)

    Yay for self publishing! I know that song lyric but for the life of me I can't quite remember what it's from. I can almost hear it! I love the lofi channel. I subscribed to it and use it for reading music all the time. Have a great week!

    Keep up the great work. Self-publishing sounds like a nice idea. Haven't tried it myself yet, but probably in the future.

    Such great music and lyrics this week. Thanks for sharing.

    If you went with Royal Road or Wattpad, let us know how that went. I like to know as I might consider doing the same. I think it might be easier than to self publish. It's certainly a good start though I'm not really certain.

    Have a lovely day.
