WORDS OF WISDOM.LEARN BY YOUR MISTAKES, DONT LET YOUR MISTAKES LEARN YOU,
LIFE IS JUST A TEST I RECKON THOSE WHO ARE GREEDY IN RICHES DO NOT FIND A TRUE LOVE, THOSE WHO HAVE LOVE DO NOT FIND MONEY,BECUASE THEY TRUST AND NOT FOLLOW THEIR WAY, THEY WEAR THEIR HEART ON THEIR SLEEVE. CAN WE ACHIEVE RICHES AND LOVE? I BELEIVE SO, YOU JUST NEED WORDS OF WISDOM, THOSE WORDS YOU ONCE WAS TOLD ARE CORRECT, AND ALL THOUGH WE LAUGH AND NOT LISTEN TO OUR PEERS, WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT IN ALL THEY SAY, YOU LEARN WITH TIME WORDS OF WISDOM, FULL CIRCLE AND IT HAPPENS. UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR WAY AND LEARN YOUR MISTAKES THE RIGHT FROM THE WRONG, HOW TO LOVE AND RESPECT THIS IS WHEN YOU HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORDS OF WISDOM. IF LIFE WAS SO EASY AND WE LISTENED TO OUR PEERS IN ALL THAT THEY SAY, WHAT WOULD LIFE BE? LIFE WOULD BE EASY AND WE WOULD HAVE NO CHALLENGES SO LIFE WOULD BE BORING AND NOT A TEST AS I KNOW RIGHT NOW. TRUE? OPTIMISTIC? HAVE YOU HEARD IT ALL BEFORE? WELL I DID, AND I LEARNT EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO REALIZE AND SUFFER FROM PAIN, TO KNOW THE PAIN THAT OTHERS SUFFER IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT CAUSE, YOU THEN HAVE MASTERED THE WORDS OF WISDOM, AND BECOME ONE, HAPPY, FEEL LOVED, GRATEFULL WITH THE ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD THE FOOD IN YOUR STOMACHE THE LOVE THAT SURROUND YOU, BE GRATEFULL FOR WHAT YOU RECEIVE WHEN YOU HAVE THESE ARE THEY ARE PRICLESS, AND CAN NOT BE BOUGHT THROUGHT RICHES, ONLY THROUGH MY WORDS OF WISDOM. YOU SHALL THEN SIT AND THINK WHY DID I NOT LISTEN AS A CHILD? WHY DID I BELEIVE OKAY I KNOW EVERYTHING ADULTS JUST PROTECT YOU WITH A FEW WORDS, BUT LIKE I SAID THERE WOULD BE NO LIFE, NO COMPETITION NO CHALLENGES LIFE WOULD BE NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU. I KNOW YOU WILL READ THIS AND THINK I HEARD IT BEFORE, AND YOU SHALL BE OPTIMISTIC AND FOLLOW YOUR PATH IN LIFE AND LEARN BY YOUR MISTAKES, AND NOT LET YOUR MISTAKES LEARN YOU, JUST THINK OF THE POEM OF WORDS OF WISDOM.

One of my poems, Hope For A Safer Place, was chosen for inclusion in the anthology, Stories of Strength, to raise money for Disaster Relief Charities in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. A preview is available on Google book search and my poem is included in the preview:

To All Authors: Please when you create or have a web site " DON'T" put out private information, like where you live , how many children you have , etc. photos of family members.....There are too many stories out there about predators finding people through the inter net , please saty safe..I've seen too many authors putting this info out on their site, bad mistake... Cheers........Joe |

I need some answers fast, I'm fixin to lose my mind!! I need to know...1. Can I pre-order books before my release date? Can I take orders ahead of time? 2.Do I charge shipping? 3.How much? 4. How long does it take for the cover department to design a cover if I told them EXACTLY what I wanted on it picture and all.( a picture of my husband the main person the book is about) 5. How do I know where my book is if I keep emailing the last contact and she has not responded in two days? 6.How many employees does PA have? 7.When will I know how much they are going to charge for my book? 8. Wouldn't it be smart to order lots of books at my author discounted price and keep the 30% instead of getting the 8% royalties? In Christian Love

Anyone else should add to this list if they know of a great publisher who is well respected in the writing community.
http://www.tor.com/torfaq.html#submitting -- Tor Books http://www.algonquin.com/about/faqs.php -- Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill http://www.peachtree-online.com/Adults/info.htm -- Peachtree Publishing This is from the Peachtree Q & A list: Q: How much would you charge me to publish my book? A: Publishers don’t charge authors to publish their books. If we agree to publish your book, we take on the responsibility of editing, designing, and producing your book. We arrange to sell your books to stores and libraries and schools and we pay you a percentage of the sales. We don’t print books either; we contract with book printers to produce the books that we publish. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.eharlequin.com/cms/learntowrite/ltwArticle.jhtml?pageID=021101wu00001 -- Harlequin Romance

Hello Writer 7 Okay, this it the final word on this subject, I've thought it over and I've decided to make some rules. I don't mind people talking about different subjects, I just got blown away by the fact that the new author was very upset by what was said to her about PA and she almost didn't get her book published, to me that's a chance , a stepping stone to go on to better things. Yes I know the contract and no I haven't bought 50 books. I have had two books published by PA and yes I'm proud of it. I have been writing for 30 years and it's a tough world out there and even for a year wrote a garden column for someone who owned a newspaper till it was sold. So dear friends let's drop this now , we are all writers , we do have to exchange ideas and help each other. I have met many wonderful authors on PA from the USA to around the world, I've even read and did reviews on their books. Many have great stories to tell, beautiful poetry, stories of abuse, I even became friends with an author who use to be an artist , now she's blind and she writes the most beautiful poetry that would touch your heart. I've even read some of Steven's work here who is dam good. So let's turn a new page and talk, share ideas , dreams, and everyday life. Cheers....Joe
