The Molly Chronicles

Hello, it's Molly the collie BOK (back on keyboard). I've successfully uploaded the manuscript to Lulu Press. I must say, their staff has been courteous, efficient, and friendly - all traits appreciated by noble dogs like me. I'll keep you all informed of our progress.

Hi, It's Molly the canine publicist here. We hit a snag on Lulu Press here, I'm sorry to say. I tried to upload the manuscript, and they said I had to read their guidelines first. Since I'm a dog, I'm always eager to please, so I read their guidelines, and tried to upload, and they said to read their guidelines. Went through the loop about ten times, tried their help section, but apparently they hadn't anticipated this problem before. What's a collie to do???????? Here you see me chewing on a piece of rawhide. A great way to relieve frustrations. You humans should try it. Molly signing off.

Hey, ho, it's Molly back again.

We just finished an inspiring meeting with Kate concerning marketing my humans's book 

Temporary Address. Kate told us how she got a loan for a house in the days when women couldn't get loans from banks. She did it by sheer cussedness, asking and asking and asking and finally assuming an existing loan from a couple who needed to move out of their house in a hurry. My human used to be like that. She used to be able to just keep working and working on a project until she finally got it done. But now, alas, she's a bit of a wuss, so it's all up to me.

Kate had an idea similar to mine. She suggested contacting radio personalities who might like to see 

Temporary Address succeed. As you know, I've already contacted Bo, President Obama's dog, and I've contacted Nancy Pelosi. 

I have to go now. It's dinner time, and I do have priorities.

It's Molly, afk (away from keyboard)

Here I am taking a well-deserved break. I wish I drank coffee.

Hi, it's Molly here again. I'm in a thoughtful mood today. Promoting is a hard job, and it's especially hard for a  dog because I don't have opposable thumbs, I don't even know how to spell opposable, and because I bark instead of talk like a human. And promoting a book like "Temporary Address" by an unknown is hard even if you are a human. I'm not the complaining type. My style has always been to just go for it with as much hard work and gusto as my body has in it. We working dogs have always been known for our drive. Anyway, I have to go and check on my progress with Lulu, (the website, not a girl named Lulu) where I'm working on publishing the paperback version. I want to thank you who read my blog and scratch my ears and tell me I'm a good dog. It means a lot to me.

New Novel

I've deleted this post. I signed up for namowrimo for November, which challenges us to write a novel in one month. And we can't use anything we already wrote. So I'm starting fresh.
