I saw about Richard Simmons, sad. And not Dr Ruth too! I used to love listening to her radio show when I worked at the grand canyon, as we had no tv could just get radio stations at night.

This morning I finished the first draft of my "memoir" (scare quotes because I feel self-conscious, because why would a no-name college professor only about halfway through her expected lifespan write a memoir?). Now to print it out, read it through, decide what needs work, and get to that. Also finding an agent. Non-academic publishing is so very different from academic publishing, where you cold submit to presses and go right to working with an editor.

Quote:
I think the first draft is the hardest part of any writing, really, so you've crossed that hurdle. As the saying goes, you can't edit a blank page. I hope the editing process goes well, along with the search for an agent. The class I took had a section on getting published that included various resources. Let me know if you're interested in any of those, and I can PM you. (It's a few websites, nothing exclusive to the class, though you may already be aware of them.) |

Boy, this was a weird rule of 3 (almost 4) - you either loved them or... not.

I remember her mostly from when she played Olive Oyl in Popeye -because she looked exactly like the comic was drawn. Disappointing movie though - could have been a lot funnier.
I know the name Shannon Doherty but I don't recall watching that tv show she was in. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Yeah we were way too old for beverly hills 90210! Heck i was a generation too old for melrose place, which was supposed to be an "adult" 90210!
We went straight from Leave it to beaver to Murder she wrote. |

That makes sense because my sisters and brother are all gen x. (I think gen x started in 1965? and i was born in 1962, and my brother in 1965, sisters 1967. so it was 3 to 1 haha)

I'm working on a poem this rainy afternoon and H keeps coming in my office wanting to show me all these conspiracy-theory videos that are already popping up about the attempt on Trump. No, i haven't gotten my real door yet. I so need to do that.
