The Cat Laughed book Cover

Self-publishers, those that write books, non-fiction and fictional, need the support of a few people to make the end product a great work. Writers are the creators. The support people are the ones that can take that creation and make it readable, beautiful and correct grammatically. Here I am going to talk about the four main support people every writer should use before publishing the work into printed or electronic form. A writer has what is commonly called a manuscript. It is the body and heart of the work that will become the printed book. This manuscript should be reviewed by someone who is notRead More →

cows on a dark t-shirt

  I read once that people whose faces are symmetrical, even on each side of the nose, are more attractive. I suppose that is true and I suppose that we see that unconsciously. When I see a drawing, I immediately know if I will like it on a shirt. My business partner has this trait in spades. Often I see something I like and when I show it to her, she jumps or says, “meh”. The picture at the left was the original I located on Pixabay. My business partner loved it and so I began the process of making it ready for a t-shirtRead More →

It was a fun day near the ThemesRead More →

Cat Cataract

I have one non-cataract eye. I recently had surgery on my right eye to remove and replace the lens that had developed a thick cataract. The cataract was thick that the tests to measure my eye for the proper new lens had to be done with a sonogram. Even with that technology, the technician said it was hard to get the measurements. Two Types of Cataracts I had two different types of cataracts in the eye. I didn’t know there were types and I was not aware that they could double up. In the end, it didn’t change the diagnosis and subsequent treatment. I got theRead More →
