Yes indeed, that means today, July 3rd, tomorrow July 4th, and July 5th for, well, good measure you could say.
Actually, it was free as of July 1st, but we totally spaced it.
That was probably cuz we figured that the book’s been selling so well for so long that the last thing it needed was any kind of added marketing oomph. So you know how it goes, that meant it couldn’t really be happening.
One of our favorite writer-contributors has turned to nonfiction. Her new book, The New Grown Ups Disney World Guide Book, is out on Kindle.
And if you download it today, tomorrow, or Friday, it’s Free.
The official Amazon description makes us wish we were in Orlando right now:
The pic above is from an email we got, announcing, well, announcing what it says above, that Amazon Studios wants to see our shorts. (Oh God, the easy jokes that brings to mind. Must resist…mustn’t fall into their trap…
The complete text is just as inviting:
Two days ago I launched the Season Finale of Chilltown. At first, I was mega excited. It’s (mostly) been a thrilling ride and I’m proud of the work I did. But then something happened I really didn’t expect: I started feeling a bit sad.
I have no idea if I’ll be able to finance Season 2. And mostly, I just don’t want it to end. Even with the ridiculous amount of work and some of the ups and downs, it really is so. much. fun. And exciting. Animation involves a HUGE amount of work; way more than live action. It’s not like picking up a camera and going for it. It takes a long time to execute. If I did it all myself again, it would probably take about a year and half, if I did it full-time, which I can’t do. I need a crew, even if it’s a mini one. And I need financing for that to happen.
by Peggy BechkoWhile many people believe writers merrily create stories, kick back, have a good time and collect checks, writers know differently. Every profession has its draw-backs and the creative writer is no exception.
I’ve experienced bumps in the road more than once along the way and no doubt nearly every writer has. So let’s haul these little demons out of the shadows and have a look, cuz if your muse is swamped by these little guys (as opposed to being surrounded by helpful minions) you just aren’t going to get anywhere.
So, you’re saying you have no physical energy, no motivation to press on because you just want to go take a nap. Well, maybe you should. It could be that simple. If you haven’t gotten enough rest it might be time to grab a nap and come back refreshed.
