No Sales Yet!

  I checked and my story 'Alive Again' is now available on amazon.com for Kindle.  No one's bought it yet, but hopefully that'll change soon.  I still haven't gotten a call from the movie people, but I'm hopeful for that too.  To think I could be in a movie!
  Right now I'm listening to four British boys on my mp3 player.  Carcass really was an amazing band, both musically and lyrically.  There could be movies made about the songs they wrote.  One of my favorite songs by them is about a guy who makes glue out of human bone so that he can sniff it and get high!  Speaking of movies, I'd love to put together a project where several different directors make several movies based on Carcass songs.  It could be called, 'Cinemas of Sickness' or 'Directing the Insalubrious'.  I'm sure someone out there could think of a clever title for it.  If only I could contact Carcass and suggest this to them.

Finally Figured It Out

  Boy, it just goes to show you how technologically idiotic I am.  The other day I was writing to you that I couldn't figure out how to format my short story for submission to One Buck Horror.  They want it in the .doc format.  I'm like all dragging my knuckles, eating bananas saying, "Uhhh, what's that?"  Then I looked a bit closer at the Submission guidelines and it just happened to say 'Word (.doc)' as the required format.  Light dimly fizzles on in my noggin: "Does that mean Microsoft Word?"  Little imaginary British children are prancing around me chanting, "No brains, no brains.  La la la la la!"
  Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius did it again.  I went to the Start menu, clicked on All Programs and kabluey, baby!  There's Microsoft Word.  Now it was just a matter of copy/paste and a ray of sunlight burst through the clouds, descending on my humble abode as harps played.  I went back to the One Buck Horror website, clicked on Fiction Submission and the rest is history.  Well, shit, I don't even know if they're gonna publish the damn thing, but I'm just glad I figured out how to submit it.  Chalk up another point for Paul, and his (imaginary?) opponent Idiocy gets nothing today.  Better luck next time, pal.
