Sick

Well, I had to write to let all of you know, that I will be keeping off the computer for awhile due to relentless combats with headaches and high blood pressure.
The doctor has put me on a new blood pressure meds that fights both migraines and blood pressure, so...yippie for that and I got myself a blood pressure cuff because I have to keep tabs on it and before I take my Blood Pressure meds, I have to make sure the lower number is above 50.  If not, then I can't take it, it'll lower it too much then.  Ah, the aging process is so full of wonderful events to come....not.
Anyway, I will be doing my art work then and watch loads of TrueBlood DVD's...that and Shirley Temple.
So, if you need me for anything leave a message on FB I will eventually get back on, but I'm thinking the next 2 weeks I'll be gone to just rest.
Keep writing those awesome Friday Flashes (feel bad that I haven't responded to your comments or read yours as well), I don't have to say that, because you guys write so well and I  love all your stories.  Feel free to use my artwork if you want.
As whats his name would say..."I"ll be back!"  (dang, what is his name...)

adieu...

Red Flags to newbie authors...

I being a newbie myself have come across some things that sent out signals to cause me to think twice. Being published is great, you may not make a living at it, but that's not why you write.  You write because it is your passion.  With that being said, then take your time to look for a reputable publisher.  If an author friend or someone you know who is published by someone they like working for then by all means go for it, but if you know nothing about the publisher search them.  Find out what  you can and even then you're not told everything. I searched Trestle Press and found nothing wrong with them, but I still had this innate feeling of doom, well not doom, but a twinge of not too sure if I wanted to sign up with them.  I signed the contract, which was a one paragraph sheet of paper (red flag #1) and then a bunch of lines to where I would write what submissions I was sending in for them to publish.  Still nervous. I filled it out and sent it in then I started asking ho
