I just found out that two friends had no idea of a couple of ventures that I'm involved in. I don't have any idea how that happened; I thought I was pretty noisy about what I've been doing for the last six months or so, but apparently not.
So just to make sure that everybody's on the same page….here are a few things that you may or may not know already:
#1-I edit stuff for a living. Yep. And I'm always looking for more clients – so please spread the word far and wide. You can pick up megaphones on your way out today- click here to see my editing site.-- [it's worth clicking over just to see my endorsements-they make ME want to hire me]
#2-I'm the managing editor of Pow Fast Flash Fiction and have been having a BLAST doing that – so don't be shy about sending in your subs, or just feel free to stop in to read the amazing content that's being constantly added to the online collection –click here to visit Pow Fast Flash Fiction.
#3-With the help of Brad Nelson I'm planning the takeover of the planet in April, 2010, but that's supposed to be a secret, so try to keep that one under your hat, or your hats, depending on the location of your galactic home world. [more to come on this one]
Oh and for all of you complaining that I no longer have the photo that Rachel took of me at the Botanical Gardens up on the editor's page at Pow, here ya go:
There. That should do it.
Thank you for your attention.
We now return you to your regular Miscellaneous Yammering programming……

I recall hearing about #1 in the past. #2 was new to me (as you are aware). #3 sounds like a tall order...need more help? Once I get my act together and write more shorts I will be sure to submit to Pow FFF. Nice photo, by the way!
All my hats are firmly in place. Now, where did you say I can get three megaphones?
Cute photo! A little self promotion is never a bad thing, feel free to do it more often :)
Now about taking over the planet... want some more help? Just to have more countries covered? :P And I can try to persuade the vampires here in Transylvania to help too.
You learn something new every day. #1 was news to me, but I know all about POW and have been enjoying the reads there.
I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but your random thoughts make my day.
I know everything; you can't hide!
April won't be the cruelest month then; it will be blessed THREEFOLD, heh.
I am using many semi colons; it is in honor of Grammar Day.
Okay, I'll stop now.
I used to have a hat. But I gave it to a homeless woman who admired it and it was snowing and I was only a few streets away from my house anyway and it had those silly "braids" and it looked better on her.
I don't have a hat anymore.
I wish I could send POW a few Things I Have Written. But I look and look and don't see where I could fit in. :((((
Love your pic. And your spiky hair. And your amber eyes!
How do I know your eyes are that color?
I know everything.
This was good for you to announce, since some people only thought you spent your time spitting out zippers...
That would be WRITING ABOUT FEMALE WEREWOLVES spitting out zippers Laura. Writing about it...
[see my flash "Good Clean Fun" from 2/26/10]
Oh and for a bit MORE self promotion, Good Clean Fun was accepted for the lycanthrope contest at Flashes in the Dark. WOO HOO! I'll shout when it goes live.
[I heart you Laura. You're so fun]
Marisa, Whew! Thanks for alerting me to Grammar Day. I'm using a calendar that somehow completely left that holiday off of their red letter list.
a) I bet you were cute in the hat
b) I know how you know my eyes are amber
c) Sometimes I use my spikey hair as a weapon
d) I look awful in hats, but great when I pull off an April hat trick [can't wait!]
e) I will go scour your site and see if I can cherry pick something for Pow. [There seemed to be implied permission there. And I heard "you can rummage in my drawers and try on all my kick ass boots while you're at it..."]
Hugs!
Laurita, I'm glad that my random thoughts make your day. Sometimes they wake me up at night...so it seems like overall that it works out in an equitable manner then....
Thank you for reading at Pow. I can't believe the stunning work that we've been able to gather under one roof so far. And I get LOTS more every single day. *happy sigh*
What a great idea Estrella! If you bring the vampires and Tim brings the other three headed aliens and their megaphones? Wow, planetary domination will be a cinch!
[but mums the word, it's supposed to be a surprise invasion]
Oh, I'm back! It seems that Grammar Day is TOMORROW!
That's what I get for living in the future. :(
So please, re-read what I wrote above and take out the semi colons.
I never got rid of the white Go Go boots. They're in the back of the closet.
You are a very busy woman and an accomplished self promoter. It's about time:-)

Karen says:
Thanks Alan! And thank you for putting a link to Pow in your sidebar along with the other Flash fiction sites you enjoy! The more we widen the circle the better our subs at Pow will be. Get all those Canadians to unite and send in their stories!
And on a personal note....
[Karen debated taking the high road-and lost]
.... I can't wait to see your shorts.
:0)
I don't know about white Go Go boots on me Marisa, unless I wear black stockings. [oh! maybe fishnets!]
Ultra white boots on ultra white legs would probably be a waste.
In your honor I will happily use semi-colons with gleeful abandon tomorrow in everything that I write.

Hey, they're kinda pretty in groups of three like that.
Maybe that's how we should start using all the non letter keys on the keyboard. For artistic expression. <---what do you think? Think it would catch on? :0)
Thank you Cynthia! So sweet of you to stop in and to take the time to comment.
When I started with Pow Anton Gully told me that I had to be shameless in my self promotion. But since he didn't offer any [edited]--[which has been known to make me dance on tables]-- I've had to work my way up to it.
:0)
Hi, I'd like a job ;)
Jared,
With the way you write? I can see that as a distinct possibility.
I'll short list you into the plan that includes world domination.
:0)
Har! I never expect you to take the high road...and on that note, am off to warmer climates tomorrow. Will take lots of photos of me in my shorts to post on my blog.
Oh boy! Bon Voyage.
:0)
Okay so I knew all this -right? *waits for little voice of confirmation* ah, there it is. Whew!
You can be way more shameless than that... :-)
I don't think you were even trying!!
Wanna come Mahau Sound with me for Easter?
xx
Ooohhh. I just looked at pictures of Mahau Sound [say next part in girly breathy voice]
it's sooooo pretty!
Wait... Alan's going on vacation, Cat's going on vacation.....
[looks at the two of you suspiciously]
There is nothing "shameless" about self-promo. You go, girl - TOOT your own horn, cuz nobody else is gonna do it until you land a BIG contract and become a household word, hmm?
It's called "worthy" self-promotion, tee hee.
Loved your post and this blog ya got goin' on ... I'll be back. (wink)
The Old Silly
Thanks Marvin. *winks back*
