JamesSeptember 2000 |
The world changed tonight, and I don't know where I am. I don't know what this wasted, fragile feeling means. I've been courting my life with one agenda: to make it better. But the cards are on the table. And I've been trumped to smithereens.
The world changed tonight. I felt it pierce them like ice, cold, cold ice. So efficiently. So effectively.
I don't feel relief. Kind of, sort of, maybe. I feel worry and anxiety and fortune and disappointment. I feel a relief of an unearthly kind, like I have been injured or have lost something out the window in a tide of amazing, sweeping, guttering emotion. I now have to face a reality so different, where he can't quite meet my eyes, but he's trying. He's working it through.
But I've made myself feel unjustified, undeserving. Grateful for any shard of understanding left on the floor. I am cowering, facing judgement, and pleading benevolence.
I am joyous I think. Something so long in the making is bound to be ambivalent for me. I told them. God. I did it. I actually told them. Why am I still running? Why don't I want their questions?
It took it all to open that door, and now that I'm through, I'm adjusting to the light. It was, is, the end of one race, and I'm panting and sweating and numb and emotional because I don't know whether I have won or not. The panel of judges is out. The jury is out. There is no verdict, and I'm alone in this crowded courtroom. And I'll wake up with a start not remembering it-like a dream: a weird, weird, colour-filled dream of tears and muscle and fear and clutching at straws and collisions and groping in the fucking dark... and the steely mechanics of it all. Steely pragmatism.
I have a headache.
But I'm still alive. God. I'm still alive. On the other side.
I'm here, and it's better than before. I am finding myself on this weird, weird colour-filled road to finding myself. That's where my compass points. West to the setting sun. Part of me. So central, so core, too meaningful for words, so breathtaking and awesome I want to howl.
All but for the confusion and the struggle. Will they ever know the truth of it? Or can they manage nicely with the version I give them? I don't know where the truth is.
I'm just adjusting to the light. I'm scared. And maybe still alone, but not as much. I opened a window tonight, a risk. And we're all standing around it, mourning it, trying to look through it, pretending as if something has died, wondering what this new view means... and looking at the one who just rammed it open not quite blaming him, but close.
It's just huge. And I'm in for it all. That's where my compass points.
No turning back. And I'm glad of that.

Serious vulnerability found in Apple iOS devices and Mac OS X computers
Posted By Vamien McKalin On September 3, 2013 @ 7:15 AM In iOS,Mac OS X | 1 Comment
Apple iOS devices are under attack, as a serious vulnerability in operating system allows degenerate individuals to crash apps on iOS 6 or even going as far as making these apps unusable. According to Russian website, Habrahabr.ru, this problem is made possible by a bug at Apple's CoreText font rendering framework.
Furthermore, this problem also affects OS X Mountain Lion, so if you're a Mac user, keep a keen eye out for possible hacks to your system.
We understand that by simply exposing OS X and iOS to a simple string of text is capable of triggering the crash of an app. In addition, sending this same string of text messages to an iPad, iPhone, iPad Touch, or even a Mac, could possibly crash iMessage repeatedly to the point where it becomes unusable.
What's interesting is how the report claims Apple had knowledge of this problem for over 6 months, yet the company has failed to come up with a fix. This is unlike Apple to allow a bug to roam free on its platform for months, but the report also claims iOS 7 beta is unaffected, so maybe the fruity company has prepared a fix after all. No word on when this will be fixed for OS X
If you have an iOS device and you are unable to wait for a fix, the best option right now is to upgrade to iOS 7 beta. It's your safest bet to be protected against this vulnerability… but there are risks in upgrading to a beta releases, so you have to weigh the pros and cons and decide what to do.
As for me? I'll enjoy my Windows Phone thank you very much. (Don't flame me.)

On Vacation
- Posted by Johanna on September 2, 2006 at 8:08 am
- Category: Meta
Like much of the rest of the US, I'm going on vacation this week.
(Down to the Outer Banks, thanks for asking, even though it's going to rain all week and they just got done having a hurricane. Doesn't matter to us — we go to the beach to sit on the balcony, watch the waves, and eat seafood.)
I have left some posts to entertain you, but since I don't know yet how much access I'll have, behave, ok?
And don't forget the Baltimore Comic-Con and the Harvey Awards next weekend!

Revlon ColorStay Makeup [Reformulated Early 2013]
Average Rating 3.8/5 |
Review by ahappyplace
I can't believe I found a color match in a drugstore foundation! I've been using Aromaleigh mineral foundation for the last couple of months, but the coverage and lasting power weren't really satisfactory. I think I was just thrilled I had found a powder foundation pale enough for me (NC 15 is too dark). I've picked up a bottle of Colorstay a few times when makeup shopping but the palest shade (Ivory) always looked so pink! Last night I said, what the hell, it's BOGOF, so I grabbed a bottle of this and a gorgeous cream blush (Rosy Glow). I LOVE THIS STUFF. I didn't get the cakey, masky results that others complained about, but I did use my Olay microdermabrasion and peel last night, and I used a somewhat glowy moisturizer before applying (Clean & Clear Morning Burst). I worked in small sections and only used a dab of foundation on a sponge per section. It looks fabulous! Perfect coverage, awesome color match (this NEVER happens), satiny finish (I think my moisturizer definitely makes a difference). The only negs are the bottle and the price, which I think is a bit much for drugstore. All in all, potential HG! We'll see if I break out. EDIT: I did not break out, but started to really notice a pink tinge to this foundation, especially in bathroom lighting...too bad, because I really liked the formulation. =(

Inside H&M's Permanent Lincoln Road Store: An Accessories Boutique, $500 Giveaways, and More
The long wait is almost over for Miami's fashionistas (and, uh, fashionistos?). Lincoln Road is finally about to boast its own, permanent H&M location. Starting November 8, the cheap, chic Swedish chain officially makes its mark on South Florida.Courtesy of H&M
The uber-popular, fashion forward brand teased us with a summer pop-up off Lincoln Road, and Miamians flocked to scoop up neon tanks, bandeaus and flouncy skirts.

- H&M to Open Third South Florida Store in Aventura
But alas, the temporary spot closed at the end of September, and Miamians have been devoid of trendy European fashion ever since.
The new flagship store is located inside the historic Lincoln Theatre, spans two floors and over 24,000 square feet of retail space. The locale will showcase ladies', men's and young trend collections, with a "shop-in-shop" boutique for accessories.
"This unique flagship store will carry the latest all trends such as slim and printed trousers, peplum tops, and embellished jewellery for women; and chic suits, fine knit sweaters, and leather accessories for men. It will carry the most fashionable pieces of the men's and women's collections all year round, as well as all special capsule collections and designer collaborations," an H&M spokesperson told Cultist.
"The beautiful two-story space located inside the historic and elegant art deco Lincoln Theatre protects the iconic nature of the building while maintaining the H&M feeling of fashion and excitement.There are unique H&M designed features in the store that will make shopping a one-of-a kind experience," they continued.
And their South Florida takeover doesn't end there. They'll be opening another location at the Aventura Mall before 2013.

One Day's Wages partners with RAIN
Monday, January 27, 2014
NIGER, West Africa — Seiga and Ingui are communities of semi-nomadic Tuareg herders in the Tillaberi region of Niger, one of the most food insecure in the country. Prolonged drought has caused severe food shortages, leaving households to ration food as they watched their animals thinning. Education becomes a low priority and the schools dwindle. |

This is a book about Catherine Hooper (the girlfriend of Bernard Madoff's son Andrew), her incredible brilliance, resourcefulness, and all around "fabulousness". The narrator reads the story with the breathiness appropriate for a romance novel when talking anything Catherine. Her tone changes to one of utter disgust whenever discussing Mark (Bernard Madoff's other son who committed suicide) or Mark's widow Stephanie. I guess the narrator was directed to do so because Catherine's doesn't like them (?) but it is very disconcerting. Do not buy this book if you are looking for insight into the Madoff scandal or the Madoff family (as I was). I stuck with the book to the end hoping to find a bit, but it provides none whatsoever. On the other hand if you are interested in learning about how wonderful Catherine Hooper is, this is the book for you.
"Just the facts and figures"
This is a book for readers interested in a recitation of the number of buildings destroyed in a given locality in Europe, the number of people displaced, and general acknowledgements that the war really disrupted people's lives. While the book sprinkles in quotes from people saying that the destruction was terrible, they weren't given enough context to care about them at all.
No. I prefer books that tell a story through the eyes of its participants.
I have listened to the Ken Follett books narrated by John Lee and enjoyed his narration but this book was a terrible fit for him. The book is simply boring and having a very dramatic narrator like Mr. Lee is absolutely jarring.
Disappointment and frustration.
"Fascinating read"
I have read many books about the civil war and it becomes harder and harder to find books that address the period from a new prospective. This book, written from the southern point of view felt wholly new and fresh, and did a excellent job of describing the complex and varying viewpoints of its different constituencies. The narrator did a wonderful job of conveying these voices.
"An honest and beautiful memoir"
I've read a lot of history books and memoirs about the holocaust, and this memoir written and narrated by the son of survivors saved by their musical talent is a beautiful, very loving and respectful tribute to the author's parents. At the same time, the author conveys a very honest human story of their lives that does not gloss over questionable decisions and complicated motivations.
The author's narration was fine, but because of his distinctive voice and long service as the host of Performance Today, National Public Radio's daily classical music program, I kept expecting him to break from the story and introduce us to a Beethoven symphony. But that is a very small price to pay for such a beautiful story.
This unusual novel is DEFINITELY not for everyone. It is a story, written in first person, of the son of wannabe holocaust survivor who (the son, not his mother) discovers Anne Frank (now an old lady) living in his attic. It is written as a bit of a "shticky" monologue that is hilarious at times, but often over the top as in: was it over the top? Why did I say it was over the top? I don't really know. Sometimes I think I liked it but other times I was't so sure. And how could I be expected to know..... and so on.
"Wonderfully written history of a pivotal time"
Great story which more than stands on its own. No need for the annoyingly exaggerated rendition of the character's voices.

13 Nov 2012
DISCLOSURES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS have become so bloated that a public forum has been set up to tackle the issue.
The IASB said it will host a public disclosure forum in London next year to improve the quality of financial reporting disclosures.
The forum will bring together investors, preparers, auditors, regulators and standard setters to get a better understanding of the issues related to disclosure overload.
It will discuss the current state of financial report disclosures, concerns about disclosures in financial reports, ways to improve the clarity of financial reports and provide input into the disclosure, and presentation sections of the IASB's Conceptual Framework project.
"It has become increasingly clear that we are suffering from disclosure overload. However, there are many reasons why this is the case. Standard setters are not blameless, but neither are preparers, auditors or regulators," said Hans Hoogervorst, chairman of the IASB.
"However, no one should expect quick wins. One investor's disclosure clutter is another investor's golden nugget of information. Taking information away is never easy."
Last month, the FRC has published a discussion along similar lines. In particular, the paper covered the reduction of clutter in financial reports by avoiding duplication in disclosures and using tests of materiality more rigorously.

Why Hertz Global (HTZ) Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Hertz Global (HTZ - Get Report) was rising 4.57% to $26.99 on Thursday morning after the rental car company announced a partnership with Costco (COST).
The company announced that it had teamed with Costco to bring short-term Hertz 24/7 van rental to Costco customers. The self-drive service, available at all 25 Costco warehouses in the U.K., allows Costco members to rent a Long Wheel Base Ford Transit Van to drive their purchased items home immediately. The service starts at £13, or approximately $21.70, per hour.
"We have been growing our global van rental offering through Hertz 24/7 for over five years," said Michel Taride, Group President of Hertz International in the company's statement. "Our Hertz 24/7 service enables Costco to provide its members with an attractive and efficient van delivery service. Hertz takes care of providing and maintaining the fleet and handling all customer transactions while Costco's members can enjoy the convenience of taking their purchases home straightaway, rather than waiting for the goods to be delivered in the future."

TheStreet Ratings team rates HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC as a "buy" with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC (HTZ) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 4.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 22.0%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $1,393.00 million or 43.38% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 10.26%.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, HTZ's share price has jumped by 38.37%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC's earnings per share declined by 14.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.54 versus $0.38 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.70 versus $0.54).
- The gross profit margin for HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC is rather high; currently it is at 53.17%. Regardless of HTZ's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, HTZ's net profit margin of 6.99% is significantly lower than the industry average.

The Best of Times. The Worst of Times.
Blogger: Wendy Lawton
Back in the days when I was writing and submitting my work, hoping to catch the interest of an agent or editor, I would spend hours trying to strategize the perfect time for my query or proposal to land on their desks. I decided to give you a cheat sheet and save you from hours of analysis. Here are a few of the worst times for your work to appear:
- The weeks just prior to a major trade show— BEA or ICRS
- The week just after a major trade show
- The week before a writer's conference at which the agent or editor is giving a presentation
- The week after a writer's conference
- Three or four weeks after a writers' conference when all the requested manuscripts begin coming in and bury your submission
- The week before the editor's or agent's vacation
- The week before or after a three-day weekend
- Thanksgiving week
- The week before Christmas
- The week after Christmas
- The week or two following NANOWRIMO
How about the best times to query:
- The day your target agent or editor finally cleaned out his inbox and answered all his queries
- The day the agent or editor decided he is looking for the exact book you've written
- The first week of the year unless, like two of our Books & Such agents, your recipient is attending a new year conference
- The first week in September (another new year) as long as the recipient has no major writing conferences planned
- In one of the ho-hum months where nothing much is happening
Hopefully you've already guessed this is written with tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek. There is no way, short of being a stalker, you can pick the perfect time for your query or proposal to land on the agents or editor's desk.All my strategizing back in the day was probably a huge waste of energy.
So what's the best strategy then?
- Offer a novel that will get attention simply because it's a fresh story, beautifully told; or, in the case of nonfiction, a great idea written by the perfect person.
- Meet the editor or agent at a writing conference if possible. Nothing beats having that personal connection.
- Make sure your name is recognizable and memorable if you can't meet in person. You do this through social media.
- Do your best to send the query at a good time– not Christmas, not trade shows. Leave the rest of the timing to God.
- If you don't hear back or you get a "no thanks," try again with your next book. Sometimes it's just because there's another book too much like it in the pipeline.
Anyway, that's my half-brain-dead advice on the day I've come home from both the major trade show of the year AND a writing conference, all in the same week.
So. . . what's your advice? What kind of schedule wisdom have you absorbed. What do you think is the best strategy for timing of submissions?

Wait for that holy nudge. Which I didn't even recognize as such until AFTER the fact.
I think all you can do is polish your book to the very best of your ability and then try not to submit at an obviously bad time (day two of ICRS, Christmas Eve, etc.). I LOVE to look at circumstances and "see" where God is headed with something. Over the years I've finally begun to realize that the only thing I can count on when I anticipate God's direction is that I'm WRONG.
I love that, wait for the holy nudge.
"A hold nudge" ? Amen, sister!
With a Y.
Sarah, I'm joining the crowd of fans of your words, "holy nudge."
Sarah, I'm joining the club too. Waiting for God's holy nudge is always best. I confess, I have also been wrong (more times than I care to count) when trying to anticipate/predict God's timing and direction in my life.
Wise advice, wait for a a holy nudge!
Dear Wendy: I am a writer but also own and run Her Majesty's English Tea Room and my shoppe Fairchild's. When a rep calls on me and I say no to an item it is often a great item but not right for my business or not right right now. I can re-look at the same merchandise at another time when my focus has shifted and it is exactly what I want and need.
So…that said, I believe in writing, writers need to know that their theme or story line might be just fine or great or whatever, but possibly not at all what a particular agent is looking for or looking for right at the moment.
I find it is very difficult to determine what an agent sincerely wants. Most of the agent write ups are very general. And in my own excitement I think that could be me they are looking for.
It might not hurt an agent to say though they certainly have an interest in many fields their highest level of enthusiasm is in…
Also it helps not only for an agent to list their authors but show the book covers. A cover is worth a thousand words in helping an unpublished writer look at that jacket and think, yes this is my type of work or gee, I am really off base.
I suspect there are many writers who find their genres bleed from one to another. Not quite middle grade but certainly would work that way due to the children involved.
Romance but calm enough to be just fiction.
A hint of mystery and yet basically a cozy story. These are situations that are hard to pin point where they belong. Any thoughts on this? Is it necessary to limit your genre to just one area or what to do with the over lap?
I realize the words chick lit are gone and have been replaced by contemporary women's fiction. Somehow that new title is so wide and vague it is difficult to find exactly where a more cozy story belongs. Any thoughts? Thank you for always having great advice. Jacqueline Gillam Fairchild
Prayer. And a discerning ear. As Sarah said "wait for the holy nudge".
Grab a coffee/Earl Grey and get comfie…
Yesterday I prayed for a peace about a submission.
I write family sagas, so I know they have to be TIGHT and emotional and sweeping-y. So sweeping and gripping you forget what day it is. Oh, and there's a horse, too.So what happened when I prayed for peace about my (fake) little family?
Not what I expected.
I'd previously shared one (that's ONE) re-written scene with a friend and she began to expound on the entire MS (she's read it) and then suggested I change the story lines of FOUR characters.FOUR?
Why not just, you know, ALL of them?
As we say here, "seriously, eh?!"
I cannot tell you how many times I listened to Suo Gan yesterday. That's a Welsh lullaby, BTW. Oh, and the Last of the Mohicans score. And some Aretha Franklin…
Finally, once I was all calmed and chilled, I looked at her suggestions, and as a well established writer friend/mentor/Yoda said, " this is when you say, "thanks so much" — and move on …"
So I did.
The thing is, there is an agent who knows I'm working on a submission and to whom I've given an ETA. I don't want to say "I'll have it to you by the first week of July" and then send it in November when I've gotten the entire book re-written in haikus because somebody likes haikus and thought a story about an Indian would be great in Japanese poetic style.
Annnnnnd all that to make this point…
I told a trusted friend I didn't feel like God was putting on the brakes by using my other friend to have an adverse reaction. God does not usually speak His will by making the recipient extremely anxious and doubtful of the words on her page. He does not speak through fear.
I'll say it again.
He does NOT speak through fear!
So, today? I'll format the last few pages of the query and PRAY.
Pray for a holy nudge, a calm spirit and the kind of peace that passes all understanding.
I hear ya about giving an ETA to an agent and then wanting to follow through. It's an especially nail-biting experience when they give you a few friendly nudges to write faster. I can't tell you how many late nights I wanted to face plant on the keyboard in exhaustion. Self-inflicted deadline be gone! But I learned a lot about how to pace myself and what I was capable of. It also highlighted my many areas of needed growth.
Jenni, I too have inflicted those self-imposed deadlines and been buried by them. Pacing is a virtue, and learned and rewarded practice! I'm presently honing that skill.
Jenni, I so like what you said "But I learned a lot about how to pace myself and what I was capable of. It also highlighted my many areas of needed growth."
Pacing oneself is not easy, especially when that desire to be perfect is all-consuming. But I learned a while back that I'm useless if I'm fried!
I can't wait to read your book, Jennifer. What commitment! And you are so right about fear. Be gone little demon. PRAY and let the grace abound!
I'm wondering if that comment was long enough?
Slaps forehead…grins anyway.
Hey, I was away for 2 weeks!!
You needed to get it out. The frustration, I mean. Bottom line: you need to ignore "helpful" people. There comes a time when done is done.
And you are absolutely right: God doesn't use fear. Actually, God answered your prayer. You let it go and came to peace. (God doesn't speak through fear, but sometimes He has a funny way of giving us what we ask for. Ask God for patience and He'll give you LOTS of experiences that will help you LEARN patience.)
So now that you are "calmed and chilled," format your query, send it and put into God's hands. Do not fear. As a priest at my church said Sunday, "God's got your back."
You are in my prayers, Jennifer, and in God's hands. All will be well.
You are such a dear soul, Christine, thank you!
I've definitely tried to figure out the best times to submit to editors, but every time seems like the wrong time, vacation/conference wise. In the end, you just have to get it out there when it's ready to roll and pray it hits the right desk. I was shocked last year when it seemed many people got book contracts RIGHT AFTER THANKSGIVING, which wasn't the time I'd pinpoint as prime-time for editors. In the end, you just never know. You just keep writing, submitting, and praying. In the meantime, there's lots of time to work on platform/get your name out as an author, as you mentioned, Wendy.
"Exactly the right moment" is as easy to figure out as those Thanksgiving dinner calories!!
I think your post does a great job of pointing out that there is no perfect time (or even good time!) to send that query.
To add a little ray of sunshine, I will say this: when I was querying for my first novel, I got some wonderful replies (requests for more of the MS or helpful comments) well after I had despaired of ever hearing from the agent. So, even if you send at a bad time, there are those who dutifully read and respond to the queries they receive.
That's encouraging to know, Alex. Thanks.
Perfect timing for this post for me, Wendy. Thank you! I was just messaging with a writer friend about this very topic, and her input plus your post equals great advice. Feeling that holy nudge….
Yay, Meghan! I hope it goes well.
Too funny! I'm with Sarah–prayer or a "nudge" tells me it's the right time.
The only wrong time is if the book isn't ready.
I had planned to submit my book last February. I was headed that direction when I heard from three people ALL in the same day tell me I was stressing too much and should just slow down and enjoy the process.
So instead of charging forward with my own plans, I stopped and prayed. And I felt the command to slow down. Not something I'm good at.
I still haven't submitted the MS, but my book is better for it. I'm better for it, too. I now have a good goal — get the book completely and fully ready for ACFW, where I'll pitch to agents/editors and can see if I get any requests. Then, I'll take it from there–always with prayer and consideration of what God wants, not what I want.
And as a Genesis finalist, you'll be in an awesome position to pitch! I guess God nudges us forward AND back at times. Can't wait to meet you at ACFW!
Same here, Sarah!!
Lindsay, I'm so excited for you. It is fun to watch how you lean into God's nudges on this writing journey!
Thanks, Jeanne. I feel the same about you!
I believe you should never submit a book to an agent or editor until it is ready. Even when you think its ready, it still may not be.
Then of course you pray that everyone will be beating a path to your door.
Wendy, just between you and me is October a good month?
Thank you, Wendy. The post was both humorous and encouraging despite your "half-brain dead" condition.
I'm someone who tries to research, analyze and plan everything. Thank you for saving me from all that wasted time and energy. Based on your post, I'd say that the best time to submit is after my manuscript ready to the best of my knowledge (with the help of a couple professional critiques) and ability. Then the rest is up to God.
Blessings! Have a wonderful Fourth of July.
Wendy, thanks for the just-in-the-nick-of-time post. I was about to push the Send tomorrow, but will slow down and let the agent recover from the ICRS and wait on the Lord.
When I read the first portion of your post, I was busy calculating when the "best" times are for writers to query and submit. Then, as I read the second half I had to chuckle. Your words and suggestions are helpful, as always.
Sarah has already said it so well—wait for the holy nudge. The other things I know is waiting until the book is truly done. To the best of my ability.
God directs my every step on this journey. He knows how much time I'll have to write each day, to revise, edit and polish. I need to be diligent to use the time He gives me wisely, and then when my book is ready, to step out in faith and send it out there. I've discovered that God's timing is not my own. I'm learning to lean into that. It's taken me much longer than I thought to work through my first book and to begin my second one. But I've learned so much in writing craft and in having an accurate mindset in the "extra" time it's taking me. His timing is also perfect for when my story is ready to send out.
Hey, I know this is entirely off Wendy's topic, but it picks up on the 'holy nudge' discussion.
I was out running errands earlier and approached an intersection. The light was green, and vehicles were moving. I was about to proceed through and felt this "NO!" I hit the brakes, looked at the stopped bus on my left(which I couldn't see through) and watched as a Dodge Ram truck gunned through the intersection in front of that bus and my van. Had I not stopped? The truck would have t-boned my van and crushed me and my son.All I thought at the time was "Now THAT was a HOLY NUDGE!!"
God is good.
Wendy, you caught me on your very first point–I sent someone a proposal two weeks before ICRS.
Well, I was headed out of the country and just couldn't stand the thought of letting a completed proposal gather virtual dust while I was away. We'll see what happens….
Blessings to you and, as always, thanks for a thoughtful post.
This made me chuckle out loud. I appreciate the line, "Leave the rest of the timing to God." Hope you are recovering from your whirlwind trips. Thanks for your teaching at the conference. I appreciate it!
After I hit send recently I thought about reading through my ms again, but a friend of mine said, "Don't do it!"
Inevitability, I would find millions of errors, or beat myself over the head for not including this or that. Sometimes a break is a really good thing.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters in my first novel, but I've met some new characters who are leading me into their world. I find myself gasping at the possibilities presented by their struggles, and the Lord's plans to show up in the midst of them.
Welcome home Wendy! The familiarity of ones pillow and flower garden can be invigorating indeed. -
Oh, how discouraging!! But yet also freeing. There really is no good time but God's time. I am poised with my manuscript as we speak, letting folks settle down from ICRS and Speak Up. Now I suppose I should wait until after the Fourth of July as well. A sigh with a smile.
Haha–I often felt like I ended up contacting you at the absolute worst times, Wendy. I'm grateful that God is bigger than our mistakes. And for your graciousness as well! I'm trying to learn, but thanks for the reminder to just do our best and leave the rest of the timing up to God.
Welcome home, Wendy! And thank you for the humor and honestly on such an important subject that we all face.
I wish I had a wise and witty suggestion but I think Jennifer covered it from the get-go, PRAY and act without fear.
Sometimes I think a manuscript is ready to go but I hold back and keep hacking away at it, not sure it is "perfect' just yet. FEAR!
Prayer releases me from fear and if God gives the green light, it is time to send.
A recent discussion several other authors and I trudged heavily into was about this very subject. I was amazed by the unanimous resistance to release and hit the send button.
Yet we all agreed God is in control.
I did notice a common bond, all the authors are agented and wanted to be the best they can be for their agent too.
God honors all acts of obedience so that is where we left the discussion.
Pray without fear, and listen and obey! -
Having just sent my FIRST query letter to Books & Such yesterday I have to admit you had me when you began your post. I thought to myself, "Oh no! I should have waited one more day so I could have read this before sending that query!" Thank goodness it didn't take me long to catch on
Your post helps me see the wisdom in seeking God and following His leading. It's all in His timing and I do feel a peace about hitting the SEND button yesterday.
Beth Fortune-
Congrats on hitting send Beth!
Congratulations, Beth!
Wendy, my advice for YOU is to take a few days off and relax so you don't collapse. Happy Fourth of July.
I sometimes beat myself up at my slow submission pace, but then remind myself that if I haven't gotten that "holy nudge," it's for the best. Thanks for the wise words, Wendy, and all!
Hey, Wendy, laughing here. I'm sure your brain half-dead is better than my whole one any day.
But I hope you had a good trade show and conference and are able to rest up a bit.Taking your proposal to a conference so you can meet potential editors and agents gets my vote. Even if you follow a blog, or have a friend who works with another party, I feel being able to talk with people, interact with them, see what their personality is like, is so important.
Working together on books is much more than a business arrangement. It encompasses the highs and lows of expectations and emotions. If you can visit with a person before making a deal, it may keep disasters from happening later.
This post was so timely for me. Like someone else mentioned, I was already calculating the best time after the first few lines! I realized the other day that I'm close enough to say this is the month I'll start sending my proposal out and I was going to look into whether July is a good or bad time. Thanks for the honest post.
Can you tell me your dog's birthday and I will for sure – avoid sending you my query letter – for the entire week, or possibly month.
(Ooops. You might have more than one dog or cat or other significant pets. In that case . . . just tell me the months when none of your furry friends don't have a birthday.)
Wendy, your post reminds me of an unsuccessful salesman who worked for me. He deduced all the days and times when he should not call on prospects, leaving only 2 to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays as the only times to make contact. He didn't work for me too long after that.

Growth in pharmacy business, fueled by the severe flu season, helped boost same-store sales at Walgreen Co. in January.
Retail News Breaks Archives
DEERFIELD, Ill. – Growth in pharmacy business, fueled by the severe flu season, helped boost same-store sales at Walgreen Co. in January.
Walgreens said Tuesday that comparable-store sales rose 3.7% in January, with calendar day shifts positively impacting results by 1.3 percentage points and introductions of lower-priced generic drugs negatively impacting comp-store sales by 3.9 percentage points.
The increase January marked an improvement from same-store sales drop of 6.1% in December and ended a year of monthly same-store declines for Walgreens. The chain had last reported a monthly same-store sales gain in December 2011, when results were up 0.4%.
For January 2013, same-store sales in the front end dipped 0.4%. Walgreens said customer traffic fell 2.8%, though basket size grew 2.4%.
Comparable pharmacy sales climbed 6.2% in January, with calendar day shifts lifting results by 2 percentage points. On a day-fall adjusted basis, pharmacy same-store sales were up 4.2%. Walgreens noted that day-fall adjusted comparable pharmacy sales were negatively impacted by 6 percentage points from new generics.
Prescriptions count at comparable stores jumped 13.6% in January and was up 11.6% on a day-fall adjusted basis. Calendar day shifts positively impacted prescriptions filled in comparable stores by 2 percentage points. Day-fall adjusted prescriptions filled at comparable stores got lifts of 2.3 percentage points from a higher incidence of flu and 2 percentage points from more flu shots administered, Walgreens said.
Flu shots administered at pharmacies and clinics season-to-date came in at nearly 6.9 million, compared with 5.5 million last year.
Walgreens added that the percentage of Express Scripts customers filling prescriptions in its pharmacies continued to rise during January. In mid-September, the drug chain rejoined the Express Scripts pharmacy network after exiting it because of a contract dispute.
Overall in January, Walgreens' sales totaled $6.15 billion, up 6.3% from $5.78 billion a year earlier. Front-end sales increased 1.3%, and pharmacy sales rose 8.7% for the month. The company said pharmacy sales represented 65% of total January sales.
Sales for the first five months of fiscal 2013 were down 2.4% to $30.18 billion from $30.93 billion in the year-ago period.
Walgreens said it opened nine stores during January (including two relocations), acquired two stores and closed two stores. As of Jan. 31, the retailer operated 8,067 drug stores, 237 more than a year ago, including a net of 106 stores acquired over the last 12 months.

D'Anna: You have been warned: Enter state Capitol at your own risk
Went down to the Freddy Kruegerslature this week, a couple of days before the gov deep-sixed SB 1062, because I had a question for Mesa's legislators. Namely, WTF — Where's The Funding for education, protecting children and strengthening the economy?
It had been awhile since I'd been to the Capitol, so I was pretty surprised to see that the best parking spaces now have signs saying, "Reserved for Founding Fathers — No Priuses."
The metal detector at the main entrance beeped when I went through, which was surprising because I'd left all my weapons in my car.
"Sorry, sir," the Capitol police officer said. "You're required to be armed in this facility."
I offered to go back to my car, but he said not to worry — they had a nice selection of loaner Glocks I could use.
Packing sweet heat, I made my way to the rotunda, where I saw a bunch of business lobbyists holding their heads in their hands, muttering something about SB 1062 that sounded like, "Why, God, why?" and "Please, God, just one veto."
A couple of environmental and education lobbyists tried to comfort them, saying, "Welcome to our world. We deal with this stuff every day."
When the lobbyists looked up and saw me, one said, "Please, sir, for the love of all that is holy, don't go in. It's too late for us, but save yourself."
Suddenly, there was a commotion around a guy who looked familiar. It was former Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin, who said he was looking for the Bureau of Vital Statistics so he could legally change his name. He said he couldn't stand the idea that someone might think he's related to state Sen. Al Melvin. Speaking of the devil, a little farther into the inner sanctum, I saw ol' Al himself getting an earful from Center for Arizona Policy's Cathi "Don't Call Me King" Herrod about his performance on Anderson Cooper's CNN show.
"What do you mean you didn't know he's gay?" Herrod scolded. "You could have refused to go on his stupid program because of your deeply held religious beliefs. And by the way, quit complaining that Common Core math uses letters instead of numbers. It's called algebra."
About that time, I saw a guy who looked a lot like Mesa Sen. David Farnsworth chasing a chicken through the gallery hollering, "Come back! I'm trying to Constitutionally protect you!"
None of the legislators seemed to notice. They were all intently sounding out the big words in the American Legislative Exchange Council model bills they'd filed, like the one to change the state motto from "Ditat Deus" to "ALEC Macht Frei."
Finally, I found an intern and asked where I could find Mesa's legislators.
He said they normally sit by the Gilbert delegation, who were easily identifiable by their matching tin-foil hats. However, Sen. Bob Worsley had been sent home because he showed up wearing flip-flops.
"The rest are out to lunch," the intern said. "Way out."
As I was leaving, I ran into a bunch of clean-cut kids who said they were looking for the state calligrapher's office. They said they wanted their diplomas changed from "Arizona" to "Alabama" so potential employers wouldn't think they came from a whack state.
"For the love of all that is holy, don't go in," I told them. "It's too late for me, but save yourselves."
Class is in session ... Glad to hear Mountain View teacher and coach Kyle Cummins is back at work. Kyle, who teaches psychology and coaches JV basketball, was in a horrific car crash Jan. 25, when he was hit by a guy who was high on bath salts.
He broke his sternum, some ribs and his heel and now has to get around in a power chair. Kyle's still in a lot of pain and has a long recovery ahead, but hopefully, it'll go quicker being around so many kids who appreciate him.
John D'Anna's column appears every Saturday. To submit a news item, write it in the form of a legislative bill and he'll happily veto it. Or just e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow John on Twitter @azgreenday.

A stubborn upper level storm system dumps record rainfall amounts and life threatening floods.
An upper level disturbance sat over areas along and east of the Kansas Turnpike beginning Thursday and continuing through Sunday. This disturbance was a very efficient rain maker and produced rainfall amounts as high as 2 to 3 inches per hour at times especially Friday night and Saturday in Southeast Kansas. The areas that were hit the hardest is depicted in Image 1. Here are some pictures of this area taken from a local photographer in Montgomery County. See Image 2 and Image 3. The next set of images were taken from a local photographer in Erie. See Image 4 and Image 5. To view the rainfall totals since June 25th.

Fruth Pharmacy has announced Jeff Haffner and John Mourat as its Pharmacists of the Year for 2013.
Retail News Breaks
POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. – Fruth Pharmacy has announced Jeff Haffner and John Mourat as its Pharmacists of the Year for 2013.
The regional drug chain said Haffner and Mourat, who both serve as pharmacists at the Fruth Pharmacy in Mineral Wells, W.Va., were two of 12 nominees for this year's award.
Fruth Pharmacy also noted that this year marked the first time that there was a tie in votes for Pharmacist of the Year, a situation made more intriguing by both pharmacists working at the same location.
Mourat has served Fruth Pharmacy for over 24 years, and Haffner has worked at the drug chain for more than 18 years.
"It's a great honor to share this award with Jeff. We have a good team," Mourat commented in his acceptance speech at the awards presentation.
Fruth Pharmacy gives employee awards in four categories each year: Pharmacist of the Year, Technician of the Year, Manager of the Year and Associate of the Year. Employees are nominated by their peers and customers.
"Jeff and John do a great job at answering any questions that I have and help give me what I need. ... They are a great team," one customer nomination for Haffner and Mourat read.
"We have three children with significant special needs, and we drive 20 minutes out of our way to get our prescriptions at their pharmacy. The pharmacists are always willing to answer questions," another customer nomination said. "They talk with our children's doctors in Columbus and Pittsburgh and compound medications to specifically meet their unique needs. They try to work with our insurance to get uncommon medication that our children need covered. If they don't have a prescription in stock, they will call other pharmacies to try and locate it. Most importantly, they treat our children with the care and respect they deserve. They go more than the extra mile for us. Jeff and John both deserve this award."
Overall, Fruth Pharmacy operates 27 drug stores in West Virginia and Ohio.
"We celebrate the loyalty of employees who have reached a landmark year in their career," Lynne Fruth, chairman and president of Fruth Pharmacy, commented about the chain's annual service awards. "We also recognize those who made a significant contribution to the success of the company and those whose kindness and compassion have made difficult days a little easier for our customers."

Incorporating game play into eLearning
Let's face it: the common perception of eLearning is that it's about as exciting as filling out a tax return. Click through text; mix in a little audio, some video and a few tick-box quizzes. Not the most entertaining way to spend an hour or two. Most users plan for '30 minutes of pain', where their focus is simply to 'pass the final quiz' and then, 'hey presto' the deed is done and the eLearning is shelved, never to be used again. But how can this kind of attitude stimulate effective learning?
Companies use eLearning to up-skill, train and develop staff in a cost-effective way. PwC recently surveyed 1,200 CEO's and found that 24% were forced to cancel or delay important strategic initiatives because of 'talent constraints'. In other words, they felt that their workforce did not have the knowledge and skills to deliver. Moreover, 30% of CEOs felt they could not innovate or compete effectively because of talent constraints within their team.
It's a problem. Most eLearning does not work, and organisations need to train and develop staff in a cost-effective way. Change is hard to achieve within organisations. Well-intentioned training and engagement programmes often have little or no impact on actual behaviour and money disappears for little or no result.
So the pressure is on for L&D professionals: what can be done to ensure that any money spent on training, communication and culture
change programmes delivers?
How about trying something radical? Why not try embedding gaming concepts like leadership boards, progress bars and badges into eLearning and training development programmes?
Here's why:
• Gamification (the application of gaming mechanics to non-gaming scenarios) ensures that the training appeals to the innate human instinct towards 'fun'. Gamification leverages the fundamental need to achieve, get rewards, attain status, engage in competition, collaborate and express themselves.
• Staff engage more with a gamified approach. In fact, research shows they spend over 50% longer on learning and training with gamification features
• Gamification increases participation – staff experiencing gamified training are 86% more active than those accessing non-gamified training.
The Result: employees training with gamified eLearning take in and retain more information, attain higher skill levels all whilst enjoying it more!
So if you really do want your training change behaviour, focus on making it fun!
