    Fiction
    Autobiography
    Legal commentary
    Nonfiction/historical

    I've been asked to write a chapter in a new book on grief, specifically loss of a child.  I am leaning toward accepting.

    Awesome!  I would try to read them all.  I'd start with your autobiography and then fiction and so on down the line.
    Thanks Thriftymaid :) :)

    I know you'd be good at both!  As backwards as it may sound, I think fact would be harder to write than fiction.  
    Thanks Rizz :) :)

    I'm currently working on my manifesto about my plans to take over the world.


    I have writer's block.   I guess taking over the world will have to wait.

    Set you sights high!!   If you did, you wouldn't want anyone to know how you did it.  Can you slip me a copy over coffee?  Maybe we could do it together?!  Big Giggles!
    Thanks Livvie :) :)

    Sometimes that's the hardest part.  I would still like to read them.  I'm sure they are very fun and have lots of adventure!  Very Cool Shuhak :) :)

    My dad was another Randy D I think.....he had six kids with my mum and would have had more if my mum hadn't insisted on just practicing for a while..... 
    I hand my nose in everything my dad did and he showed me how to do so much stuff ....I would go to work with him as a kid and picked up just about everything he could do....lol

    i worked out at a very young age that if you can make people laugh at Will ,you can get away with murder....
    the only thing was ,Will got pretty upset at being ribbed constantly...:(  

    Science, nature and new tecno stuff just amazes me.....it's all I watch on tv or on the Internet.....
    funny thing is ....I can never Re'call stuff ive seen until an image or word prompts me...then every thing just comes rushing back to me...

    I think I get to many blonde moments to be taken seriously.  lol

    Laughter IS therapy.  I hear ya about blonde moments.  Sometimes I do the goofyest things.  All of those things are what we watch over here too on the TV. :) History, too.  We eat it up. 
    You and I have many things in common.  That is very cool.  I'd much rather be outside than in and love the beach and the sun. 
    I like people in general and love to have fun!! :) :)

  • I wrote a book and published it online on lulu.com without an editor. I just spent about 200 Dollars for getting it done technically. I just was new to computerwork and the technics to convert fonts and work with pages etc. The price included the IBN. I designed the cover of the book  It has only 104 pages because that was all I could remember of my childhood at the end of WWII as a kid of 9 years and also - writing it in my secondary language English was no walk in the park. 
    With other words, it is my bio as a child. 
    If somebody is interested in all info about it, I give the link to my website, which has several main pages and many subpages you will see by mousing over the name of the tabs. Please, click on the tab    Karin the Author.     https://karinbartsch.weebly.com
