Words are the small things to celebrate every day!
http://viklit.blogspot.co.uk/ |
Reading is a joy . . .anywhere, and for millions. Yet so many people can’t:
read a prescription drug label
open a bank account
get a credit card
read street signs
complete a job application,
so today I’m celebrating WORDS because I can read and understand their message.

I’m also celebrating finally getting Sliding on the Edge out as an ebook. It has been a long haul from publisher debacle to restoration of rights to this.
Then Princess of Las Pulgas is free until July 1.
Small Things add up, don’t they? What are your Small Things this week? Be sure to visit others in the hop. They have lots to Celebrate.
Lynda R Young says
So many of us take reading for granted, but it's such a treasure.
Congrats on Sliding 🙂

Hi Nancy! Glad you're celebrating with me.
klahanie says
Another blog hop! I like words and especially if they are written in proper English as in English, English. Although, I also like to make up words. Thus, "Argggghhhhhh", has become an officially recognised word. What an honor..oops…honour!
Glad your, "Sliding on the Edge", is out on eekbook, or whatever it's called. "Princess of Las Pulgas"? Must check that out and my maps of California and Nevada.
Thank you for your kind, supportive comment on my latest posting, Lee.

Words are food for the soul. You are right all those little things add up.

Small things to add up. Congrats on getting your rights back and getting your book out there.

Good to hear you got your e-rights all worked out. I just downloaded "Princess", can't wait to read it!
T. Drecker says
Congratulations on the ebook, and good for you for hanging in there. Words are something to celebrate – and not be taken for granted.
DEZMOND says
congrats on the ebook, milady! And us in the book business, really often forget that there are so many people out there who can't even read nor write 🙁 And this modern ear of communication gadgets doesn't really inspire kids to write and read 🙁
Deanie Humphrys-Dunne says
Congratulations on getting your book out on Kindle! One of mine will be out in that format very soon as well. You're right that so many people are not able to appreciate words and what they mean. It's very sad.
Rebeccah Giltrow says
Words are a great thing to celebrate. There are some beautiful ones out there 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
Let's celebrate the beautiful ones, shall we?
Samantha May says
Words truly are special 🙂
Totally forgot to let you know that I awarded you on Wednesday! Do with it what you will. Happy Friday!
C. Lee McKenzie says
I got an award? Good golly I'm coming over to see!
Angela Brown says
Very glad you were able to get Sliding on the Edge to this point!!
And I whole-heartedly agree that words are ridiculously important…in ways oft not grasped.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Those words can get you in trouble, too! Man, have I learned that the hard way.
Lovely to see you here as always.
Theresa Milstein says
I love your new webpage. I love the sound of the moving books!
I'm so happy you've got your book back! 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Theresa! I'm looking forward to Harold Underdown's visit to you blog. That's very exciting.
Lexa Cain says
I'm so sorry to hear about the publishing debacle with Sliding on the Edge and the fight to get the book rights back and it out as an ebook. Yay for your triumph! (That pic is really creepy. Reminds me of Alien.)
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Lexa. I learned a lot, so in the end I guess it was worth the misery.
Al Diaz says
That's a very cool picture.
Congratulations on your book!!! I am also celebrating I can't not just read but do it in two languages. I would miss all this fun if I wouldn't know English. 😀
C. Lee McKenzie says
Bi-lingual, bi-cultural people are so privileged. I wish we could all be more international, Al.
Julie Flanders says
What a great idea for a celebration. I seriously can't imagine being unable to read. It's such a gift!
And congrats on Sliding on the Edge! That's awesome. 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Julie. This back and forth with the publisher has been long and tedious.
Tyrean Martinson says
Reading is a huge gift, and so is writing.
Love that picture – it makes me want to write!
And congratulations on your ebook release!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Those metatarsals make you think, don't they?
Julia says
Couldn't agree more about words. Coincidentally, I'm celebrating literacy today, too. Congrats on the ebook.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'll stop by and read your post!
Catherine Stine says
Words matter.
And wow, congrats on the Sliding ebook!!!
