Trolling for Blurbs
But not for me!
In honor of the new administration, my dh Greg will be transforming his current web site, Hail Dubyus, into an archive. His next project will be a new cartoon blog called Intravenous Caffeine. The new site will continue to comment on the folly and mendacity of the powerful, but it will also offer cartoons that are just plain funny.
And what does this have to do with blurbs, you ask. In conjunction with the new release, Greg will be sending out his very first press release--and every writer and artist reading this knows what that's like. In a very real sense, you don't exist for media purposes unless someone else says you're wonderful. So he asked me to solicit blurbs--and permission to use them--from my wonderful friends list.
Feel free to check out the galleries at Hail Dubyus and Intravenous Caffeine before you decide. If you're interested, you can leave a comment and provide the citation you'd like him to use ("author of THE XYA CHRONICLES" or "award-winning artist of ZWOW", for example). Thanks!
And best of the holidays to you, regardless. :-)

BTW, any chance we could get together for lunch, dinner or something potable over the next couple weeks or will they be entirely spent in Georgia?
Big hugs,

Let me know when you'd like to get together. With the guys is great, but if it's easier without them, that's okay too.
Big holiday hugs,

BTW, have you ever set up a web site?

I hope Greg can use some of that. And tell him to read up on British politics. We could use him.

I'm actually struggling with jeanmarieward.com. I want to do it in WordPress so I can update it myself. SJ did a great job with WardSmith.com, but when he got sick, then had other responsibilities, I was stuck. Unfortunately, I spent way too long as a publications designer, and I've got all these ideas.
I think Greg will be delighted with your blurb. I know I am. When I forwarded the note, I added a link to your Profile page. That should explain you more coherently than I could.
Hugs, thanks and smiles,
Jean Marie
