It’s hard to believe nine years ago today, I started blogging. I began this crazy little venture to prompt my children’s book, The Tale of Ole Green Eyes. My dreams were big to become a successful self-published author and while I barely broke even I feel I came out ahead in the end.
Years ago I created an e-format of my book through Smashwords and I reckon it’s still there doing nothing, so I thought I’d set it up on Amazon to see if things improve. *cross fingers* Anyhow to celebrate my blogging anniversary, I’m offering a FREE Kindle download of my children’s book, The Tale of Ole Green Eyes. Act fast because it’s only good June 1-5!!
Writing for a living in the kiddie lit genre was something I wanted and while part of me clings loosely to the idea I’m uncertain when or if I’ll pursue it again but who knows I might surprise myself with a new project in the not-so-distant future. After all, I keep saying, I want to illustrate one of my children’s stories, so the possibility remains in the back of my head.
For now, I’m going to enjoy the blogging community for what it is right now, a place to interact with my circle of friends with my passions for mewsic, art, photography, giggles, & random mewsing. Who knows maybe, we’ll share the next nine years together!
At the last minute, I decided to incorporate Round 10 BoTB Showdown into my blogversary celebrations. So, what’s my battle song? Well…that’s obvious don’t you think? Kool & the Gangs 80s disco hit, Celebration.
If you’re one influenced visually then close your eyes before hitting play before each song. My featured artists today are new discoveries. I hope you enjoy my findings.
Contender #1 — Dragon
Contender # 2 — DJ BoBo
