  • 09:09 @candynh ich wohnte 7 Jahre in Bayern - Regensburg. War sehr schön. Hab u.a. für die Polizei übersetzt. Nun mach ich das freiberuflich. #
  • 11:09 @candynh Letztes Jahr hab ich damit angefangen, Bücher zu verlegen. Es gibt so viele gute Geschichten, die sonst keine Chance hätten. #
  • 11:44 got 6 books in the mail today, 3 novels (sci-fi, superhero, fantasy) & 3 on writing. Yay! :) #
  • 11:46 @candynh Yes, and it still is fun - a lot of work, but I love the design and marketing aspects as well as the editing and reading new stuff. #
  • 12:32 Windows Security Center has closed the program "Windows Explorer" published by Microsoft Corporation because it endangers your system. Ha! #
  • 15:55 @candynh no I don't take submissions in the usual manner... see www.splashdownbooks.com/submissions.html - I have found this works great! #
  • 15:56 @candynh oops wrong link, sorry, it's this one: splashdownbooks.com/guidelines.html #
  • 16:05 @jasons_travel your site is kinda hard to understand. I think I entered... #
  • 16:24 @jasons_travel recommend a message to say "You have successfully entered this contest" - that's what confused me, it went to different page #
  • 16:52 @jasons_travel cool, that's better now! #
  • 17:14 RT: @PublishingGuru: The Indie Message Spreads Through Multiple Industries - ow.ly/Xxi7 #
  • 17:57 "It's Moments Like These You Need Minties!" RT @joegreenz: What is the most memorable ad jingle in New Zealand history? (Pls RT) #kiwijingle #
  • 17:57 @PublishingGuru I do, as far as I know :) To what are you referring? #
  • 17:59 @PublishingGuru My recent mention of Lulu was a two-part tweet in which I explain the diff between indy publishing and self publishing. #
  • 19:03 @PublishingGuru I don't consider Lulu to be indy. It's an author services gig, tho some indy presses use it, but that harms their rep IMHO. #
  • 19:07 The sp°m hour has struck, must be morning in whatever part of the world their sweatshops work in... #
  • 19:26 @dom_sutton what about some of the books I've published? check out www.splashdownbooks.com and see if that would suit what you have in mind. #
  • 19:28 @PublishingGuru Not quite, because it doesn't actually have to cost anything. Vanity to me is author-pays. Lulu and CS are DIY. #
  • 19:29 @dom_sutton email. I don't get too many either, but it's amusing to see them all arrive from a certain hour onwards. #
  • 19:31 < Is translating an incredibly boring document of incorporation. Legalese. At least it's predictable, in whatever language. #
  • 20:29 @PublishingGuru yeah but u don't "have" to buy. Anyway I'm with Lignting Source and glad of it. But Lulu can be a good place to start/learn. #
  • 21:00 The Lost Genre Guild News for January 18th, 2010: <br />tweetmeme_source = 'gracebridges';<br ... bit.ly/8UKYyy Sci-Fi & Fantasy Lit #
  • 23:45 @candynh I wanted to avoid sending rejections, plus have fun doing my part in the process. It's working well, except for those against indy. #
  • 23:49 Reading a good book, don't want to stop, have at least a dozen more ahead of me, but gotta get some zzz's. #
  • 23:51 Friend on first leg of long-haul flight to NZ might be over Mongolia by now. We're so far away...it makes us who we are. #
