Keeping In Touch.......Please Read My Book!?

Hello all of you fine and very intelligent and good looking internet readers of mine!  Am I glad to see you?  Well, YEAH!  It's been over a week this time since I've added anything to this blog and that just ain't right.  I am so sorry for taking so long to get back on here.  But I have been so busy learning about the publishing business it has kept my attention and required my participation as well.  What I have learned is that before a traditional publisher 'might' read my manuscript and scratch their head wondering if they want to publish it, I could be dead.  I can't afford to use a subsidy publisher at this time.  So, I made the decision to go with Amazon who is going to list it on their website as a Kindle ebook.  Don't worry if you don't have a Kindle.  Amazon has some free apps that will allow you to read it on either a PC, Iphone or Ipad.  Plus it costs me nothing to do it this way and I like that a lot!  So, at this moment it is still in the publishing phase but should show up on the Amazon website under Kindle ebooks by this weekend.  It's a story that testifies of the staying power of true love.  I hope that each of you will look for it.  I am using the pen name of Joel Wilson and the book title is 'Lost Hearts'.

Now that that part is behind me I can start anew on my next novel.  I have a character in mind and am working on her personality.  This one will be in the category of a mystery/thriller.  I can't promise but I am going to try to have it completed by the end of summer this year.  So, that is what I am about now.  Writing, I hope for your reading enjoyment.

So, IF you happen to purchase a copy of my first book, 'Lost Hearts', I hope you will leave me a comment or write me what you think about it on Facebook.  Thank you so much for checking out my blog. I promise to be more active with this. 


NEWS FLASH!!!  Amazon has just posted 'Lost Hearts' on the website.  So, if you are interested and don't want to flip through webpage after webpage to find it, I have put a link to that page for your convenience here:

Is Monday really all that bad??

Check out these famous lyrics by the Mama's and Papa's.

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

Monday Monday, can't trust that day,

Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how yould cou leave and not take me.

Every other day, every other day,

Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, so good to me,

Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

Every other day, every other day,

Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday, ...

Either this guy is coming down from some kind of weekend high, (and since it is the Mama's and Papa's that may well be the case) or this guy needs a new girl friend.

Monday's never seem to let him down, but he must be a nervous wreck on each Monday.  He says that every Monday evening he is unsure if his girlfriend/boyfriend is going to leave him or not.  Which makes me wonder what does he do every weekend that may cause him to lose his relationship with his significant other?  Maybe it's all the drugs he used  on the weekends that make his main squeeze want to leave.  Maybe it has nothing at all to do with drugs.  Maybe he's just so much of a jerk on Mondays that no one wants to be around him.  Maybe he just has a phobia for Monday evenings.  Whatever the case, come Tuesday,
everything goes back to being alright again and we start this cycle all over again.  Every week.  Talk about a rut.  

Whatever the case, this guy hyas seriously got problems with Mondays.  So, what makes me think about this today?  Well, first of all, today is Monday!  I don't know why, maybe its me that's weird but I like Monday.  It is like a new beginning, a chance to not make the same mistakes I made last week and to put into practice the lessons I learned last week.  Hopefully, this will somehow come together to make me a better person.  Or maybe it won't all come together and I will continue on being the dummy that I am and making the same mistakes over and over again. 

I know that Sunday is the real first day of the week, but somehow it seems that Sunday has become the day at the end of the week.  The day that hopefully you get to rest and relax, if you don't have to work that is.  We go to church, we ponder on things that are important and plan our attack for the upcoming week so that nothing takes us by surprise during the week.  So, if it is a day of rest and relaxation, why doesn't television programming take that into consideration.  All the good shows are used up during the week, and it's like Sunday is reserved for the also-rans.  There is very little good television programming on Sunday.  It has always been that way. Why can't they do something about it?  Most people are home that evening and would enjoy some good light-hearted programming to watch.

Why am I rambling on about this?  I don't know.  Maybe it is because it has been a few days since I have written you guys and I really just wanted to stay in contact.  I've been a little sick this past weekend, just enough to make me feel icky.  I hate feeling like that.  I just don't want/have the energy to do anything.  A lot of that was due to my not sleeping for 3 days because I had lost my medicine.  But, that was remedied yesterday and last night was a joy to be sleeping.  I feel better today.  And you know what?  It's Monday!!!  Time to start all over again and put into practice the things I learned last week.  What did I learn?  I learned to not lose my sleeping pills!  I guess I am addicted.  But they make sleeping so much nicer. 

I hope you all have a great week. :)
