I am up early today. I thank God for a new day. I will be going to the library in a few hours.
Two very, very good gospel songs I am listening to:
My God Is Awesome - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YJ4vddbJJo
"Why He is awesome: He's mighty, He's holy, He's great"
He Knows My Name - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXsiWoyjw60
"He knows my name, He knows my every thought ... And He hears me when I call"
I am planning to go to the nearby library tomorrow. I could work on my voice recording (or maybe video) for my book promotion from there. I will use whatever resources are available. It should be interesting.
I created a new tag/label: weird coincidences. https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/search/label/weirdcoincidences.
Do you pay attention to reported weird things or coincidences? Do you think/believe they have deep meaning? Do you believe some are fraud?
I submitted my poem book to two publishing houses. Both responded and I selected what I believed to be the better deal. I paid upfront (with some assistance). At this time, I do not have to pay for marketing and other promotion costs.
I did not think of GoFundMe or other crowdfunding platforms to publish the book. (I am surprised that so many people do - I found the examples: https://www.gofundme.com/f/turning-passion-into-a-published-book, https://www.gofundme.com/f/gumu6m-publish-my-memoir, and https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-to-publish-an-eco-childrens-book). With this approach, you are counting on the kindness of your community.
(I used GoFundMe in the past to raise funds. I know that a lot of people use it to raise funds to cover medical expenses. https://www.gofundme.com/discover/medical-fundraiser. I am not considering GoFundMe at this time.)
I am currently writing about the writing process, influences for my book, and so on for my publisher's publicity/marketing department. It is more involved than I thought. I think it is important and I want to do a good job.
I enjoy playing games on the computer. I once purchased Monopoly on a cd. The purchase allowed me to play Monopoly without other human players - I played with multiple "computer" players (AI). Tetris, Pac-man, and Chinese checkers are other examples of games I play on the computer.
This post reminds me of life in an apartment, my pastorial father ("guidance father") at President's College and related weird coincidences. We called my pastorial father Rambo because he looked like Sylvester Stallone. I hope he is doing well.
Please note that my phone is temporarily not working. The phone (device) has serious issues. I hope I will be able to restore service soon. In times like this, you have to cut back on expenses and do without some things (at least for a while).
