Life as a Published Author
This week I'm answering questions from readers, and today I'm responding to Megan, who was curious about why published authors always talk about being so busy. What's taking up so much of their time? Megan's trying to decide if she's really ready to take on everything publication would entail, since her life is pretty full already.
I think Megan's smart to consider this. Sometimes the dream of finally being a "published author" is different from the reality. So here are a few hints.
Life is going to get harder, not easier. There will be so much to do that you never really thought about. The minute that publishing deal is done, you might begin receiving requests from the publisher. Do you have a video we can show our sales reps? Can you send us your thoughts on cover design? Do you have any other ideas for your book title? And that's just the beginning.
You'll be busier than you can imagine. If you're contracted for multiple books, consider that 18 months from now, you may be simultaneously trying to promote book #1, edit book #2, and write book #3. All on top of your current job and family responsibilities.
The writing itself can be more challenging. This may be the first time you've written under contract and under deadline, especially in book-length works. If you've always written on your own schedule, with no one to please but yourself, it could be a rude awakening.
The necessity for marketing can be daunting. You already know you'll need to be doing everything you can to engage your tribe, using social networking and anything else at your disposal. Around the time of a book release, the time commitment can be overwhelming.
Did you get an advance? Staring at a blank screen is a totally different thing when people have already paid you money for words you haven't written yet.
Are you ready for the pressure? Are you ready for the demands on your time and energy? What are you doing to prepare yourself for your dream coming true?
What does the "dream"of being a published author look like for you?

This is a great post…another one that would be so helpful is an attempt to answer the question you posed at the end – just how SHOULD we be preparing ourselves? Haha because now I'm starting to freak out a little 🙂
When I was in a MFA program, these types of things that Rachelle brings to the table time and again were never ever discussed. I don't know if that is common or just the MFA prog I went to but I am extremely grateful for this "nuts and bolts" knowledge. I have such a passion for writing that I do say "bring it on." I would love the opportunity to try! Some people might find what I am about to say cheesy but I am mean it with all my heart: Writing is the one thing I am truly passionate about! It's what makes me tick and very much a part of who I am. Without it, I wouldn't be me. Every job or career has its challenges and with being an author, yes it may be stressful at times or even a good chunk of the time, but it's the one career I'd like to be stressful in because I love it so much! Does that make sense? I've tried one particular career where when the "water boils" aka the stress goes through the roof, I'd rather run. Because of my character I wouldn't but inside I grew to feel that way in that field. I've been on deadline for stories many times and it can be hectic but I love the rush. I love a challenge and again it's in writing and storytelling where I enjoy those challenges most!
Rachelle, I enjoy your post. I am currently about to release my fourth book. I do inform others who ask about publishing that it is time consuming. Thanks!
If it was easy, everyone would be a writer.

It looks scary busy. But the only way to overcome that fear is to pinch my nose and jump in feet first.
Also…it looks to me like I'd better make a bunch of money up front because there's no way I could do all that without quitting my day job. ; )
The thing that has proven true over and over again about me is that I work better under pressure. My mind snaps into a completely different level of creativity and determination when I am given a structure and deadlines. I look forward to the challenge!
Sorry, Rachelle, no time to comment.
First World author problems. 😉
It's been interesting to read all these comments and see so many different reactions to the reality you've described, Rachelle. There's everything from "through rose coloured glasses" to "OMG, I'll never be able to do this!"
Our backgrounds probably play a big role in how we will approach the rigors of the published life. I owned my own professional dog show business, and for each event I handled everything, from contracting with the hosting kennel clubs to creating the initial publicity brochures, copying and mailing thousands of them, receiving all the entries and money, recording all the information on computer, creating catalogues and doing advertising layouts, preparing judges' sheets, ordering ribbons, then going to the event and dealing with hundreds of people. There's more, but you get the idea. It was hectic preparing for one event, but there were multiple events in the works, so there were overlapping preparations going on all the time. I ran on little sleep and lots of adrenalin at times, but everything got done. Despite being exhausted and occasionally overwhelmed by the never-ending schedule, I loved what I was doing. And I think that's the secret.
What does the dream look like for me? If the opportunity to be published arrives, I expect to go into it well prepared with the knowledge that there will be pressure, schedules and stress. I know it's part of that job and I'm looking forward to it as a new and challenging adventure. I'll also have more time to cope with it since I no longer have young children at home and I'm retired from my previous business. I realize that's an advantage a lot of younger writers may not have!
Thanks for providing this opportunity for a great discussion!
All I can say is it's a good thing I've already learned to live without sleeping….

This post was probably the wake up call I needed. I always dreamed of being a writer, but I have a progressive disability and as holding down a job became more difficult, I had to set aside my WIP. I had to stop working because of my disability and recently began to focus on writing. I had a book self published locally with my father about his memoirs of the ministry he began here in The Bahamas with Haitian immigrants. Now I've finished my WIP, and I'm itching to have it published. Those who've read it think I should try to get an agent, and I must admit I've been dreaming of book covers and the like! But after researching agents and the publication process, reading blogs, tips and advice, I've become worried that with my disability I might not be up to the challenge. I've been praying about it for months while working on a query letter and proposal. Can I do this?
This post really gave me a good dose of reality. Thank you.
This was an exceedingly helpful post; thank you for publishing it! Yes, I'm ready. I'm so, so, sooooooo ready. Ha! But this post has also given me solid aspects to think about, ahead of time, as to better prepare my schedule and my family. Not to mention, perhaps I can start thinking about answers to some of the questions you raised ahead of time, too.
It is insanely busy…balancing a 3 book contract and 3 kids + home-school, but I am LOVING every minute of it. I keep pinching myself that I get to live my dream 🙂
Congratulations to Kristen, who just got "the call."
Wonderful post! I anxiously await the busy life of a published author.
The advance for books not written makes me nervous though.
And, then there are those of us who chose to self-publish… and the work load is INSANE… unbelievably exciting, but definitely more than I expected. Great post Rachelle!
This is so timely, Rachelle! I just got THE CALL from Love Inspired at 9:30 this morning…and had the revision letter by 4:00 pm. Here we go! Whoa!!! 🙂
I've loved reading all these comments. I personally had to step back this year from pursuing my dream. The timing in my life for a book contract and all that it means (IF I had a book written that was good enough to be accepted) wouldn't work right now with all that's going on in my life.
But publication is still my dream and when the timing's right, I will go at it again:)
I think the life of a writer sounds wonderful. I can handle the deadlines. 🙂
This really hit home for me, and I really appreciate all these comments. My first historical mystery (Renaissance Florence) comes out in December and I feel as if I have hit a tidal wave of, ta-da: social media. What I try to keep reminding myself is that I'm in control here. I can pick and choose. I am so fortunate that I don't have to have another job to support myself. The trick is just to keep it all in perspective and enjoy. Believe me, I know how lucky I am. I just need to keep remembering how hard it was to get this far. Good luck to everyone.
I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately. I've been putting so much pressure on myself to edit my ms and I don't even have a book deal yet. I came to the conclusion that I'd better slow down and enjoy the process while I still can–before "official" pressure rears it's head. Thanks for the confirmation.
My famous author dreams date back to 2001 to 2003, until they were dashed at my first writers conference. Strangely, I never had dreams of big advances, people lined up to have me sign a book, or best seller status. My dream was just one thing: The pub house coming to my house and setting up an awesome computer home network for me, so that I could communicate with them adequately and keep in touch with hoards of fans. The computer is my bete noir, so that's where my dream went.
Now, I have not writing dream beyond what I can do myself.
This post is spot on. Since I signed my three-book deal with Harvest House, all of these the above have happened – Except they did like my book titles.
As far as deadlines, I have tricked myself into thinking that my deadlines are actually three months earlier and I'm writing to my "imaginary date." Since I have a full time job and a place to keep up, it can be very challenging.
I have been working on increasing my network through FaceBook, LinkedIn and Twitter and have pushed my Klout.com score up around 50. I have also contacted Thomas Umstaadt about redesigning my webpage so that my Series blog is incorporated into the site. It will cost me bu I think it will be worth it.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that I'm loving every minute of it. 🙂
I love your realistic optimism. Or is it optimistic realism?
All these negatives don't really seem so bad. I feel like I've been asleep before I started to write. now, I would not change a thing.
OK, here comes another silly pastor comparison, but the life you describe is quite similar to what we contend with. We social network in homes, hospitals, care facilities, and even online. While preparing this week's sermon, we're also planning tomorrow night's Bible study and contemplating our series for Pentecost.
My vision for "life of an author" is somewhat blurry, because while I want to see my books published and I'm willing to strongly market them, I don't want to be under contract. Instead, I would like to write some quality books over the next few years and see them published by a company with marketing power. Is this "part-time" or "seasonal" type of author a realistic goal or a delusional path in today's literary market?
A two bedroom apartment instead of one.
This is the kind of "busy" I've been dreaming of. Being retired, I do have a part-time job that I would gladly give up to be able to be busy at what I love more than anything…writing…and everything that goes along with it. I look forward to the day I can be doing all those things you listed.
What did the life of a published author look like to me? Six pairs of new shoes and a haircut! When my novel was published we were as poor as I was naïve. I spent my advance on things I'd done without far too long. This was back in the late 80s so things were different than they are today. Coiffed and shod, being published was a lot of hard work. To get to the publication stage, I had to work with an editor to bring the novel up to the publishers' standards. The nuts and bolts of editing and typing were daunting. I worked full time and had a family with expectations of my role as wife and mother to continue uninterrupted. Without an underestanding, supportive boss, I couldn't have done it. Pre Internet, I spent many hours writing newspapers and magazines to get reviews of my novel, giving talks in support of my work, traveling to book signings. I was suddenly called on to submit short stories, write articles, etc. I loved every minute. That was a long time ago. My husband has become jaded waiting for "the second wave." I'd love to know what it would be like to publish a novel today. I promise you, I'd use the advance to promote my book and worry less about my hair and shoes.
"Constant toil is the law of art, as it is of life."
'Nuff said.
LOVED this post, Rachelle. As a published author, my words are for those "Authors-in-Waiting"…
My eyes were opened once my contract was signed. Don't let the hard work discourage. Yes, it's incredibly overwhelming at times. Yes, there are days I wonder "Why do I do this?". But, just like the first night I brought home my baby from the hospital, the work was overwhelming. There were moments I was discouraged…BUT it was ALL worth it.
The same can be said about authorship. The late nights. The tear-stained moments, the exhaustion…ALL worth it.
Each time I stand before a group and encourage and share the message I've written about, well, there's nothing like it.
ALL worth it.
You have offered much to ponder, as always, Rachelle, thanks!!
Top in my mind right now are the things from the past I would never have thought I could accomplish, but did.
Stress is good for the human spirit and, therefore, good for the artistic spirit.
A timely post for me. Just last night I completed the (first draft) of my Christian crime novel's crescendo moment. You may be happy to know -yes the bad guy gets caught. The sun also begins to shine and American Idol is once again picked up for another season.
The bottom line is that after I polish this GEM up for it's appropriate place in the center of your desk(top of the pile), I'll need to seriously consider all this "successful writer pressure" you've been talking about.
Being a starving Civil Engineer in this economy from HELL as well as the diabetic father of three wonderful but also diabetic children, whom we home school, I have no idea what real pressure is all about yet.
I've given this a lot of thought as various projects shout for time in my day and space on the page. Thanks so much for this concise list of what to expect! The way I see it, any road worth traveling offers bends, dips, steep grades, and potholes. But traveling them strengthens us beyond measure and clarifies the end goal with each step.
The grass is always greener, right? When we're on this side of publication, we think, "If only I could…" Despite hearing all of that, I still want to be a published author. I want that to be my full-time job. So I'm going to keep working toward it.
But maybe I won't be in such a rush to get there (I tend to be impatient…). I need to just pray for the Lord's timing. Because I can't imagine doing all of that AND working full time somewhere else. I know it can be done, but wow. God knows my circumstances and He knows when I'll be able (financially, mostly) to handle life as a published author.
Well said. I may write "God's timing-not yours" on a post-it and slap it on my laptop.
Good idea, Jennifer!
Thanks for the reality check Rachelle!!
The only thing that sticks out to me is being paid for work I've yet to produce. This may be a reality for full-time writers, perhaps, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with that. I'd much rather have a product on hand before taking a check.
As I hope, dream and pray about becoming a published author, these sort of things come to mind. As I wait, I know God is preparing me for is to come. He knows my schedule and what I can and can't handle. So while I am anxious to become a published author, I am leaving this in His all knowing hands.
The problem, I think, is that the chances of being this super busy being a professional writer, AND making enough money to be able to leave the job you already have are slim to none.
Still, it is kind of inspiring thinking about dedicating that much time to writing and promoting your books when you know for a fact it will have concrete results.
Thanks, Rachelle!
All that is true, but it's still better than every other job I ever had in my entire life. The only other job that came a little closer to being "cool as this" was my personal trainer days, which I did love to do.
The stress and busy is there, but it's all for something that I love and that I created and not something I'm working for that someone else created or for someone else's dream. It's up to me what I put into it – though there are of course things out of my control and days I bang my head against a wall or feel "inadequate compared to someone else's success," but really, I am still in control of how I approach this life and what I put out into the world.
Ahhhhh. The dream. That wonderful dream. Fame, fortune, and fun, the leisurely writing life of the wealthy novelist.
I gave that dream up about the time I began meeting a few real, live, multi-published authors who I assumed were living it, because they weren't afraid to tell me the truth. Things like:
"You think rejection is hard? Try rejection when there's a shelf full of books with your name on the spine in every Barnes and Noble."
"I hope my next royalty check is big enough to cover my taxes. I'm still making payments on last year's."
"It doesn't matter how many best-sellers I've had. My worth is based on how my current book sold last month."
And perhaps the most poignant (at the time, at least), a successful multi-published author who said, "I envy the place where you are. You can still write what you want to write. You don't have to pander to the market and write what sells, no matter how much it makes you want to barf. Enjoy it while you can."
Yes I still have a dream, but with the help of my mentors it's more realistic and less likely to turn into a nightmare.
And I look forward to the challenge.
" Staring at a blank screen is a totally different thing when people have already paid you money for words you haven't written yet."
This is one type of pressure I hate the most. It is like an unpaid bill gathering dust on the table. So, I favor having the manuscript finished before I sign a deal-edits and rewrites are trouble enough. Can't I just be a one book wonder for an indefinite period of time?
"Are you ready for the pressure? Are you ready for the demands on your time and energy?"
Can we just skip pressure, please and have a little peace? Time to contemplate is like air and food and water to a writer.
"What are you doing to prepare yourself for your dream coming true?"
Looking in my wardrobe to see if I have anything ready to wear. Checking the closet for a proper touring suitcase. Catching up on sleep and exercise and relationships so I will be ready for the famine when the marketing begins.
Truthfully; the only thing I am doing is practicing and honing the writing. I want to be ready when the right doors open.
This really solidifies the advice about writing your second and third books while waiting for the first to be published. Anything we do now will help alleviate the stress down the road.
I'll definitely have to switch priorities around if I get published. Every success comes with sacrifice. Thanks for making us aware of a few we might not have anticipated.
I love your dosese of reality, Rachelle. 🙂 It's good to pursue this dream with my eyes wide open. Because I have friends who are newly published, I have had the opportunity to glimpse what their new reality looks like. I do hope to be published, and I'm working to prepare my life for that one day hope. Working on becoming more social media savvy and connected is one of my biggest goals right now. I'm pretty good about setting writing goals and doing what's necessary to meet them. Working under deadlines like what some friends have encountered…I'll have to cross that bridge if/when I get there.
*when* Jeanne, WHEN.
Thank you, Jennifer. When. 🙂
My dream looks like me basking in the sun as I read all my rave reviews in the latest magazine
Okay, really its me in front of the computer, scheduling social media, writing on my blog, answering comments and emails … oh yeah, writing a book in there somewhere … and writing speeches for women's groups. All while desperately trying not to get bummed by that one (or more) review that tore my baby to shreds :o).
Oh no, I didn't realize when you put something in brackets, the comments delete them. The above comment was supposed to read "record screeching noise here" right after me reading rave reviews. Learn something new everyday.
I'm ready for it all. I am a published author but it's been awhile since I put anything out there because I was out in the world working for others to earn the living my published books were not. Now for the first time, I'm able to work for me and I have to say I agree with those who say bring it on. All the things you stated only make me even more grateful that I no longer work for a corporation or a school board or a state agency. This is the good life.
Rachelle, You've got it right. It reminds me of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for." Right now I'm working on edits for novel #5, trying to write novel #6, continuing to market novels #1-4, while maintaining what's laughingly called my life.
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy to be in this position, but it certainly isn't a life of eating bonbons, watching daytime TV, and enjoying fame… like an agent. : )
Thanks for the dose of real life.
I'm already busy trying to make ends meet by doing "other" things while waiting for my novels to be ready. In my opinion I'm willing and ready to trade my current busy-ness in for the good of my novels. Work is work, and I'd be thrilled to be working on something I created and enjoy.
Thanks Rachelle! I've realized through the editing process that time is on my side right now. I've been working on strengthening my tribe and determining the direction for my next book with only self-imposed deadlines.
This is giving me time to also put myself in a better Financial position to sustain my family when I do finally realize the craziness you mention above. Terrifying and exciting to think about at the same time.
I appreciate you for all that you share.
A blogger named Sophia Chang started "A Day in the Life of…" series. I happened to be the lucky "first" for the series. LOL! It happened to be during the time of my daughter's community basketball league and I did my daily breakdown on one of the busiest days of the week. It was astounding to see just how busy I really was. Sort of like doing a daily journal of what you eat only to baffle yourself at realizing how you snack your way into a daily 2500 calorie "issue". But when I looked at my daily schedule breakdown, I also looked at ways to improve my use of time, not that there was really much room, but I did so with this publishing aspiration in mind.
The one truth about having my publishing dream come true – whenever it happens (crossing fingers, toes, eyes, turning in a circle three times, and chanting, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…") – is that the bills will continue coming. Rent won't let me wait until a royalty check comes in two years from now if I get an agent and a traditional contract in the next 2 to 3 months. My credit cards won't give me a two year delay and hold the interest build up. So my publishing dream is one that I've always had to wriggle in between the daily "have to"s. With a contract, it will wriggle in with some deadline pressure, but I know I can do it.
I'm thankful to have witnessed several dear friends who've gone through this. They've been gracious to show me the ropes as they climb. I'm inclined to say I'm ready. At the very least, I'll provide humorous fodder for when I'm pulling my hair out, dangling like a monkey on those same ropes.
Laughter is a legitimate survival mechanism.
~ Wendy
I appreciate you telling the truth about this, Rachelle! I never imagined the increase not only in workload but in pressure and in learning to juggle several things at once. It makes me very thankful that publication did not happen for me when I first wanted it to! While some can handle all that and small children, too, I could not have. This tends to be an all-consuming, more-than-full-time job, especially when you are publishing on a yearly schedule.
Wow, sounds exactly like the life of an independent author, except for the advance and the pressure of deadlines. But I'm currently out there promoting three books while I write two more (I got hooked into a non-fiction idea, and it's working well so far). It's a busy, busy project, but it's rewarding. I received my February royalties last week; it was nice. March's will be nicer. April's royalties, I just calculated, after taxes will be enough to pay the car payment and my utilities, if I think of it like that. Otherwise it'll be a nice entertainment boost to the budget while my day job continues to cover the boring stuff.
Nobody ever promised I'd get rich at this or any other venture. But this one's turning out to be worth my time, and it's certainly proving to be an exciting time to be an author!
Yes, I dream about being published. But dreaming is not a reality. Meanwhile, I'm editing….editing….editing…and some more.
And don't forget revising, re-working and re-thinking. 😉
Till I'm brain-dead. But yes! You're right, indeed!
Thank you, Rachelle. This is a very valuable post. These are also some great "problems" that I am one day looking forward to having! Sharing!
I'd love to say "bring it!!".
Okay. Clears throat…
Bring it!!
Since I do diddly squat around the house anyway, I may as well not be here. 😉
All I need is a schedule, a bucket of Earl Grey and my cell phone. I do my best organizing and creative work under deadlines. AND I can rant and rave in American Sign Language, so almost anyone in a room who is talking to me won't have a clue that I'm talking back and loosing it.
So yeah.
Bring it.
You're funny, Jennifer! 🙂
Thanks. But seriously…bring it!
I just signed that too.
Why does it not surprise me you drink Captain Picard's tea? 😛
Au contraire mon frere. Captain Picard drinks MY tea.
An interesting wake up call! Nevertheless something to aspire towards. Thanks for a look at the "real world."
A friend asked me late last year "are you ready for the dramatic change your life will take when you become a published author?" and I have to admit it was not until then that I gave it some thought.
life for me as a published author will involve having to make permanent decisions. I have to keep saying this all the time, I live outside of the US and realise that to live my dream I may eventually have to leave my job (as there is no way I would get so much time off to do promote my book) or even have to leave my home country. in the end I may have to relocate.
Though I do not have children or family to take care of, I am a home owner. I prefer not to worry about it too much now, because when the times comes at that point, I will definitely have to work everything out.
My debut novel (STORM) came out last Tuesday. I have a full time job, and two kids, one of whom is a baby who can't seem to understand that he's supposed to be sleeping through the night at 8 months. 😛
My third book is due this fall, I have a stack of page proofs to get through by Friday, and I'm going gangbusters trying to promote the first book. All while working 40 hours and raising my kids. I'm not going to lie — I'm insanely busy, and living on caffeine. I wouldn't trade it for the world, because it's an amazing feeling. I drove to libraries and did school visits and did all kinds of online promo and got over 100 people to my launch event this Saturday. But I also had to leave my kids with a sitter for a lot of weekend time (when my time with them is already so limited), and I had to sacrifice time with my husband. It's definitely a balancing act.
Just because it's fun and a dream come true doesn't mean it's not a metric ton of hard work, too. 😀
Great post, Rachelle!
wow, I am in awe at your juggling act.
Wow. That just summed up my life. With my first book recently published, I'm struggling to find time to write and edit the next two. It's fun, it's amazing, but it's a lot of hard work.
Rachell, thanks for telling it like it is–or could be.
Just curious, if a novel is accepted and edited by a traditional publisher, does the editor go ahead and make the corrections, or do they mark up a MS for the writer to edit/rewrite.
And, I know it probably depends, but how much time does a writer typically get to rewrite?
I had a dream…once…
Seriously, though, that sounds fantastic. I look forward to the day when I can be super busy being a writer, instead of super busy working a full time manual labor job and trying to write on the side when I'm really tired.
As a self-published author (and one-time magazine published, so far), I actually earned nearly as much in royalties in April as I made working full time for $12 an hour the entire month. With college coming up this fall I'm not quite willing to take the plunge and work hard to make writing a paying career, since I'm still mostly unknown and self-published. The royalties are a nice addition to my savings account, though. 😀
Someday. Someday it shall come to pass, and I shall be super busy being a published writer.
~Luke Alistar
And I hardly had to do anything to earn those royalties…it was all on writing I did a year ago or more. I was the guy who, unable to find a job in this terrible economy, wrote a steady 3,000 words a day for many months, so I have a huge backlog of work. Looking forward to editing it all and shoving it into the market.
Congratulations! You've reached a spot the vast majority of writers never do. Be proud of where you've come.
That is my kind of success story. I would be most content to earn royalties in the amount of a $12.00 per hour job.
For me becoming a published writer was my dream come true. I received enough of an advance for me to take the leap, and I've enjoyed the public appearances, feature writing commissions and so on more than I expected. It would be hard though if I had to keep up a day job too, especially as I am a single parent. As for the money, I might as well be stacking shelves at walmart, but I don't care, I am living my dream and I would rather be a poor writer than a rich banker.
Yep. The frenzy sounds great. I've watched and learned as some of my writer friends have taken the leap from aspiring to published authors. I'd be delighted to have so many publishing professionals committed to the value of words I put on the page. I've already got a million…
Got marketing covered. And, stories? Yep, got those too. I've also seen authors commissioned, advanced, promoted – then dropped on their heads with no warning.
I've also got confidence. Corporate America is very intense and deadline driven. The publishing time line is a business model that can only exist in the world of stories.
The bottom line will always be, what will the reader purchase? That's the shotgun approach. Does a writer want to be beloved to pay the mortgage or after death? Both are viable agendas.
Harry Potter and The Hunger Games peculated in obscurity for years. That's the beauty of what you, Rachelle, do. As do authors. It's a marvelous journey.
Enjoy the ride!
As a PR consultant by day, and a writer by moonlight, I can greatly appreciate the challenges you outlined. It's so easy to think once a book is done (and destined for the best seller list), you are good to go and smell the roses. Not so – at least if you actually want to make a go of it! And that's just the marketing end of things
But, Rachel, I appreciate your candor. There is much to consider when deciding when it's time to truly make the leap!
Your article has motivated me to take my writing more seriously. I need to write and get published. The voices in my head keep getting louder, they need to be heard.
My dream of being a published author really just revolves around being allowed to write. A lot. With feedback and readers.
Seriously, money doesn't even factor in. It's all about the writing for the sake of writing. Kind of flat for a dream I guess. 🙂
Yes, but free room and board is a heavy consideration.
I'm not sure I get what you mean?
Addy, I so agree: "My dream of being a published author really just revolves around being allowed to write. A lot. With feedback and readers…It's all about the writing for the sake of writing."
You said it well, BUT, for me there is the matter of needing food and shelter, and so making money becomes an issue.
Ah, I see what you mean! 🙂
I'm disabled (I need help with daily tasks and self care) so my food and shelter is provided. It isn't a lot of food or good food, but I have the fortune of living with friends who don't mind helping take care of me. So, food and shelter don't really factor into the dream.
On the other hand, I don't get spending money or much extra past internet and phone, so it would be nice if I made some money writing so that I could be a little less frugal! 🙂
I'm getting a kick out of all the comments.
Because pre-publication, I was totally that girl who was like, "Bring it!" "What are these published writers complaining about? They have a book deal!" "I can't wait for the busyness!"
Now my debut hits shelves in a week.
And yes, the journey has been filled with excitement and a lot of really fun firsts.
But wow….it's incredibly stressful and time-consuming. So much so, that people around me are like, "Aren't you totally pumped!?" And I'm pretty sure I have that deer-in-the-headlights look while I nod my head.
The dream of publication is so much different than the reality. I don't think it's something anyone can understand until they are there.
Yes, there are highs. But there are also a lot of lows. And mainly, the daily grind.
I actually wrote about it recently in this blog post: http://katieganshert.com/writing/the-weeks-before-launching-a-career/
But despite all that, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
whoops! Don't know why my comment posted as a reply! Sorry about that!
Don't worry. It's the effects of pre-publicationitis.
I had my wedding dress alerattions at Dream Seams in July. I can't speak more highly of the service I received. A professional service in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. My dress was finished beautifully and thanks to Dreams Seams fit perfectly. I would not hesitate in recommending their services. Thank you
But isn't "bring it" better than "run away now, you can't do this"? If I don't think in terms of a huge challenge, I hobble myself.
Or…am I so utterly narcissistic to think you were referring to my comment? Most likely the narci…whatever.
I'm walking away now.
For sure! Bring It is the BEST attitude. One I'm still clinging to in this busy and very fun season. 🙂
I didn't mean "a lot of lows". Sheesh! That sounds bad! I meant "some" lows. There aren't a lot of lows – I promise!
This is what I get for commenting in a hurry. 🙂
Gah! Why does that all sound so fantastic?
Sarah Allen
(my creative writing blog)
p.s. I'm serious.
You sound like me! It all sounded so fantastic.
But now I'm here – my debut hits shelves a week from today – and I'm too busy to stop and enjoy what's happening. I have to actually remind myself. That picture up above makes me laugh….mainly because it's so true! Published = perpetually frazzled
sooo, is the pay good enough you can quit whatever other job you had or have? one day all i ant to do is write!
LOL. I love your reply because I thought the same thing. Great Sara(h) minds think alike?! 😉
I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I've always dreamed of being published, but I was busy having babies, remodeling a house and helping my husband get our business up and running. In January I started getting serious about my writing, pulled out my WIP, blew off the cyber dust and knocked out the first draft.
That's when I came across this blog and Jody Hedlund's blog. Ever since then I feel like I signed up for a couple intense college courses. Blogging, social media, the publishing industry, writing craft books, blogs, conferences, retreats, agents, editors, ACFW, MBT and on and on! Not to mention working on my "tribe" – which is a part time job in itself. And all of this is just the beginning! I've been taking it one day at a time and learning as much as I can.
I've been following Katie Ganherst, Keli Gwyn and Beth Vogt as they debut their first novels and I'm amazed just thinking about everything they are doing right now. Publishing isn't the end, it's just the beginning. I'm watching and learning – dreaming about my own publication some day, but doing so with knowledge and realistic expectations.

A planetary system, mounted within a housing, is the basis of manufacturing
a motor, a pump, or a fluid flow meter. The housing is provided
with an inlet and an outlet. The planetary system comprises: a cylindrical
core (1) and its axis (2), two discs (9) mounted on the two bases
of the core, the planets (4) rotated into special circular recesses
of the core, and the transmission system (gears 11-14) giving motion
to the planets. When a motor is used to rotate the shaft (2), the
planetary system is converted into a pump since it sucks (depending
on the supply) air or liquid from the inlet and discharges the same
under pressure at the outlet. When on the other hand the inlet of
the planetary system is connected to a duct containing a fluid under
pressure, the planetic system is converted into a flow meter or
a hydraulic motor or a gas motor, for liquids or gases respectively.
If as depicted in FIG. 6 a valve is mounted at the inlet, a petrol-air
mixture at a certain proportion being introduced through this inlet,
being consequently ignited via a special spark plug (7), whereby
heat is developed and the heat gases push the planet to the discharge.
This motion when repeated finally provides mechanical energy to
the shaft (2) which is forced to rotate, thereby resulting to a
motor. Further accessories of lubrication, cooling, distribution
and supply of electric current, etc. are necessary, as well.
I claim:
1. A planetary system (P.S) that can be used as pump, fluid flow
meter and motor, comprising, in combination, a housing (3): a cylindrical
core (1): means rotatably mounting said core in said housing, said
core having at least one peripheral portion engaging one arcuate
surface portion of the inner surface of said housing: the inner
surface of said housing and a peripheral surface of said core conjointly
defining inlet and outlet chambers extending in opposite angular
directions from the arcuate surface portion: two discs (9) mounted
on the two basements of the core: one or more planets (4) mounted
on the two discs: means (as example four gears 11 12 13 14 per
planet) interconnecting said cylindrical core and said planets for
rotation of said planets on said core, as the latter rotates about
its axis, at an angular velocity which is half of the angular velocity
of said core and direction of movement of said planets opposite
to that of said core: the inner surface of said housing being formed
as the loci generated by arbitary points on the circumferences of
said planets during rotation of said core: the peripheral contours
of said planets having a configuration contact with the inner surface
of said housing during rotation of said core: a fluid inlet port
in communication with said inlet chamber: and a fluid outlet port
in communication with said outlet chamber.
2. Planetary system used as pump, fluid flow meter and motor according
to claim 1 wherein said cylindrical core and said planets rotate
in opposite angular directions at an angular velocity ratio 2:1
by means of transmission system of motion.
3. Planetary system used as pump, fluid flow meter and motor according
to claim 2 wherein said transmission system of motion from the
shaft (2) of said cylindrical core to the shafts (8) of said planets
is comprising, by way of example, four or seven gears, when one
or two planets are respectively employed where the gear (11) around
said shaft (2) is mounted on said housing, thereby remaining still:
the gears (14) are mounted on said shafts (8) of the planets: and
the gears (12 and 13) are mounted on a common auxiliary shaft (10),
which is continuously mounted through a special plate on a said
disc (9).
4. A planetary system used as pump, fluid flow meter and motor
according to claim 1 wherein said planets have, in cross section
view, two curved portions consisting of arcs of a circle of radius
(r): the other peripheral contours of said planets having a configuration
such that said planets rotate in continuous contact with the arcuate
surface portion of the inner surface of said housing (as FIG. 5
shows): said planets being mounted through their axes on said discs
(9): said planets being rotated in circular recesses in said cylindrical
core, said recesses opening outwardly through the periphery of said
5. The planetic system described above, according to claim 1 employed
as liquid or gas pump, when the shaft (2) of the pump is connected
via an engaging means-pulleys or gears-to the shaft of a motor.
6. The planetic system, according to claim 1 employed as a fluid
flow meter alongside a duct transporting a liquid or gas, when suitably
connected alongside the said duct and equipped with a tachometer,
where the indicated number of revolutions per minute or per hour,
multiplied by the net volume of the planetic system gives the flow
of the fluid.
7. The planetic system, according to claim 1 employed as a hydraulic
or gas motor, when a duct transporting a liquid or gas under pressure
is connected to the entrance of the motor, where the said liquid
or gas under pressure exerts a continuous, impulse to the planets
provided between the inlet and the outlet of the planetic system
towards the discharge in order to reach: atmospheric air at ambient
pressure, thereby leading to a continuous rotational motion of said
shaft (2).
8. The planetic system, according to claim 1 being equipped with
special accessories (one or two valves, electric spark plug, petrol
ventilator, battery, voltage multiplier and special cooling and
lubricating system) employed as a rotary internal combustion engine:
providing high grade of tightness to the said inlet and outlet chambers,
which elaborate as combustion and expansion chambers, by means of
special plates, mounted into corresponding recessions of said planets,
and springs of circular form mounted into special recessions at
the circumferences of the discs.
The invention relates to the construction of a machine with rotating
planets, which will be thereafter briefly call P.S., where this
machine can, following certain minor additions or amendments, be
used as:
a. Liquid or gas pump
b. Fluid flow meter
c. Hydraulic motor or Gas motor, and
d. Rotary internal combustion motor (petrol operated)
Various such types of machinery may be commerically found, being
based on different operation principles, such as for example piston,
centrifugal, propeller or ROOTS type pumps, etc. Each pump type
has its own advantages and disadvantages provides an optimum performance
under various working conditions which makes it preferable amongst
other types of pumps.
The new machine, described hereinafter is based on an entirely
new methodology. Its advantages, which might only become evident
in practice, will be compared to certain types of corresponding
presently available machinery, since it is impossible to give a
lengthy description in view of the limited space available.

FIG. 2 is a cross section view of the transmission system of motion.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section view of the whole machine, showing
and the gears of the transmission system.
FIG. 4 is showing the cylindrical core (1) with its shaft (2)
and one disc (9) mounted in one of its base.

FIG. 7 is a cross section view of two planets with special plates

FIG. 8 is a cross section view of a fluid flow meter with a planetic
Its basic parts illustrated in the attached drawings, are the following:
1. The core 1 is a cylinder of radius R, where one or two semicircular
portions of radius r of the same length L (FIG. 4) are cut out of
core 1 thereby creating the space within which rotate the planets,
as described hereinafter. Furthermore in order to reduce the weight
of the core 1 it is possible to allow for void spaces in its interior.
2. The discs 9 or radius R' and thickness corresponding to the
specific requirements. These are bolted onto the two basements of
core 1 and rotate together around the same shaft 2.
3. The Planets 4. One or two and rarely more planets are used depending
on each particular case, each rotating around the shaft 8 whose
both ends are based on the corresponding discs. The centre of the
shaft 8 passes through the middle of the chord of the semicircular
portion which was removed from the core 1. The shape of the planets
is shown in FIG. 5 in a cross sectional view normal to their axis
as shown in FIG. 5. In this Figure, we observe that the width of
the planet is rduced as we proceed from the centre outwards to the
circumference. Thus the ratio h':h becomes approximately 14.61:15.20
mm, when r=26.5 and R=50.0 mm. The planets perform two simultaneous
movements. One movement around the axis 2 together with the core
and one self rotation around its own axis 8 which is parallel to
axis 2. The second movement is performed via the following system:
4. System for the transmission of motion to the Planets
This system aims to transfer the motion of the axis 2 to the axes
of the planets in such a way that each rotation of the planet around
the axis 2 of the core 1 results to half a rotation of the planet
4 around its own axis 8 and in particular in the opposite direction.
That is, when the core moves in a clockwise direction, the planets
must rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around their own axis.
The opposite might happen as well.
Such a system may, by way of example, comprise four or seven gears
(when one or two planets are used respectively), which are mutually
engaged in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Gear 11 is fixedly
mounted onto the frame of the whole system, and thereby remains
still. The axis 2 of the core 1 passes through this gear without
touching it. Gear 14 is mounted onto the axis 8 of one planet and
is driven by the gear 13 which is mounted together with the gear
12 onto the same auxiliary axis 10. One end of this axis which is
also parallel to the other axes 2 and 8 is mounted onto the disc
9 and its other end is mounted onto a laminate of special .eta.
shape, both ends of which are also mounted onto the same disc, the
laminate rotating together with the disc. When the core and the
planets rotate in a clockwise direction, the gears 12 and 13 rotate
in a clockwise direction as well around their own axis 10 since
the gear 11 engaged to the gear 12 remains still as aforesaid. This
motion is in turn transmitted via the gears 13 and 14 to the axis
8 as a counter-clockwise motion, i.e. in the opposite direction.
Because of the value 1:2 of the gear ratio of gears 11 and 14 we
eventually have half a rotation of the axis 8 corresponding to each
full rotation of the axis 2. The gears chosen have minimum tolerances.
All shafts are preferably mounted onto ball bearings, in order to
reduce energy losses.
5. The housing 3
The external appearance of the housing is cylindrical. However,
what matters is its internal surface, because it is in its interior
that the planets together with the core 1 and two discs 9 rotate.
It is because of this reason, that the internal surface of the housing
3 is shaped in a manner such as to comprise the geometrical locus
of the points inscribed by the tips of the planets during their
rotation. The housing 3 is provided with two openings, one for the
introduction and the other for the discharge of the fluid. The housing
3 is mounted onto a frame, whereas the axis 2 of the core 1 is mounted
via two laminates onto the housing 3.
a. As a liquid or gas pump
When via a motor the shaft 2 of the planetic system is rotated
e.g. in a clockwise direction, the planets move in the same direction
and press the liquid or gas occuping the space V2 (FIG. 1) to the
discharge. On the contrary and because of the increasing of the
space V1 on the left of the planet, a new amount of liquid or gas
in introduced through the inlet of the planetic system.
The process is repeated in each rotation of the shaft 2 irrespective
of whether the system comprises one or two planets, and thus in
fact there is provided a pump which sucks a liquid or gas (provided
at the inlet) in order to compress it towards its discharge.
If the shaft 2 is moved in the opposite (counterclockwise) direction,
the outcome will be the same but the positions of the pumps inlet
and outlet will be reversed.
The pressures P1 and P2 (FIG. 1) exerted by the fluid onto the
respective surfaces of the planet of equal size are equal. This
is the reason that the movement of the planets around their axis
requires a minimum power, resulting to negligible power losses for
this process and elimination of the requirement to make a specially
reinforced transmission system.
The flow through the pump will be proportional to the size of its
net volume (V1 and V2) and the number of revolutions, whereas the
pressure that might be developed depends on the degree of tightness
(tolerances at the points of contact of its moving parts) as well
as on the strength it has been designed for (i.e. resistance in
pressures, torques, etc.).
The discharge of gas pumps should be preferably with a non-return
valve, in order to obtain a uniform compression and a limitation
of the power losses.
The merits of the above described pump which are of constant volume,
compared to similar pumps broadly used in agriculture (for conveying
wheat) and in industry, such as for example ROOTS blowers or rotary
piston blowers of helicoidal form, are the following:
Higher concetration of power and increased flow rate and pressure
for the same volume of machinery.
Uniform compression, which is not obtainable by conventional pumps.
Less friction (or contact) surfaces and ability to run at more
revolutions per minute and therefore better efficiency and increased
flow rate for the same volume of machinery. Compared to the ROTARY-MULTIVANE
COMPRESSOR type pump, the proposed pump has the advantage of running
at more revolutions per minute since it is free of friction surfaces
and of providing an increased flow rate and higher efficiency for
the same volume of machinery.
Finally, compared to the centrifugal pumps and in particular the
multi-stage ones (turbine pumps), broadly used in agriculture for
irrigation from deep drillings, the proposed pump is clearly advantageous
with respect to the pressure and flow rate provided for the same
volume of machinery.
(b) As a Hydraulic motor or Gas motor
If one of the openings of the planetic system is supplied with
liquid or gas under pressure, it will continuously press the planets
towards the other opening, wherefrom it will be discharged (outlet
The planets (preferably two planets are employed) will in turn
lead the core and its axis 2 to a continuous rotational motion,
thereby creating a motor. In this case the planetic system operates
in precisely the reverse manner than in the case of the pump, i.e
it converts the energy supplied in the form of a fluid under pressure
into mechanical energy.
It is anticipated that this motor will be advantageous compared
to the conventional radial, axial or mixed-flow hydro-turbines,
which are broadly used in dams, since almost 100% of the hydraulic
energy of a water fall even of a particularly small flow will be
used. Furthermore, the proposed motor may also show merits in view
of the steam turbines or other types of motors operating with liquids
or gases under pressure.
c. As a Fluid Flow Meter
If a portion of the duct transporting liquid or gas is cut off
and replaced by the planetic system, connecting each opening of
the planetic system to the corresponding free ends of the duct,
the planetic system is thereby converted into a liquid or gas flow
meter respectively (FIG. 8). Because, the planets being continously
pushed at the side of higher pressure, move the entire planetic
system, whereby if its axis 2 is connected to a tachometer, it will
record the number of revolutions per hour or per minute. Henceforth
by multiplying this number of revolutions with the net volume of
the planetic system, we eventually obtain the volume of fluid passing
through per hour or minute respectively.
It is anticipated that the above fluid flow meter will be better
than other conventional fluid flow meters, such as for example of
the rotary multivane type, with respect to the level of flow rate
(for the same volume of machinery), the efficiency and cost. Cheaper
materials, such as plastic PVC, etc. may be used for low pressure
d. As a rotary internal combustion motor
The planetic system employing one planet, may be used following
certain amendments and addition of special accessories as internal
combustion motor (rotary petrol engine) as well. For the implementation
of this embodiment, it is necessary to use space V1 (FIG. 6) as
space for the introduction of the compressed fuel mixture of petrol
and air (at a weight ratio of approximately 1:15), a subsequent
ignition and expansion of the same, as described hereiafter. The
continous detonations of the mixture result to the heated gases
enclosed in space V1 exerting a continous pressure of the planet
towards the discharge, thereby causing a rotational motion of axis
2. Thus, eventually the chemical energy of the fuel is converted
into mechanical energy. This function may be performed in several
manners. By way of example, we can mention the following method:
At the beginning of space V1 and in particular at the entrance
to the planetic system we mount a valve 6 which operates in the
way that all valves in the up today available petrol engines do,
i.e. with a spring reciprocating motion provided by a crankshaft,
thereby opening and closing the inlet opening.
An electric spark plug 7 is mounted next to the valve, which is
connected in the same way as in the up today available petrol engines,
with an electric battery, distributor, multiplier, etc., in order
to provide electric spark to the chamber V1 every time and at the
right moment, that a fuel mixture is introduced into the chamber
V1 i.e. at the moment that the ratio V1:V2 is around 1:10 up to
1:15 this ratio being manifested as the optimum one in practice.
The mixture of petrol and air supplied to the valve 6 under pressure
with the assistance of a convetional compressor (pump), having previously
being sucked by a ventilaror (carburettor). A planetic system similar
to the above mentioned planetic system operating as a pump might
be used instead of the abovementioned compressor, its main driving
shaft being the shaft of the motor itself. The operating phases
of the system are the following:
Opening of the valve 6 and introduction of the fuel mixture under
pressure at the time that the planet moves from its position adjacent
valve 6 to the position 5 whereat the valve closes and a spark
is provided by the electric spark plug. This is followed by ignition,
detonation and expansion, i.e. impulse of the planet towards the
discharge opening and therefore rotation of the shaft 2.
At the second rotation of shaft 2 we have a repetition of all
preceeding phases (suction-ignition-detonation) and furthermore
discharge of the combustion gases of the previous phase. Thereby,
we observe all four phases of the well known OTTO cycle in each
stroke of the shaft 2. However, in order to facilitate cooling of
the petrol engine, we can instead of having supply of work in each
stroke of the shaft 2 (as in the above), have 2 or 3 strokes, i.e.
avoiding the introduction of fuel mixture (keeping the valve 6 closed)
during idle strokes, and on the contrary introduce ambient air through
a second adjacent valve which will be driven by the same crankshaft,
driving the previous valve as well.
Some of the obvious advantages of such a rotary motor over the
up today available ones with reciprocating pistons have as follows:
Larger concetration of power for the same volume of machinery, less
losses of energy due to friction (and reciprocating motion of the
pistons-inertia of the mass), better exploitation of the thermal
energy of the combustion gases (due to the increase of the ratio
of expansion and compression chambers) and thereby a better efficiency.
We also have less vibrations and noise.
Under certain operating conditions and depending on the scope of
application, the planetic system must fulfill the following requirements.
1. The tightness of the chambers V1 and V2 must be of a high grade,
especially when it is going to be used as an internal combustion
motor or a high pressure pump or a fluid flow meter of high accuracy.
This can be implemented in various ways, such as for example, by
mounting special plates at the ends of the planets, which move within
corresponding recessions of the planets as shown in FIG. 7 assisted
by springs, so that they may continuously maintain contact with
the cell's walls. Springs of circular form, similar to those of
the presently available petrol engines are also provided onto special
recessions on the circumference of the discs 9.
2. Cooling can be realized in several ways, known from the cooling
of similar machinery, such as the following:
Mounting of metallic blades onto the exterior of the housing 3
in order to absorb heat assisted by an electric fan.
Circulation of water in the exterior of the housing through specially
mounted pipes. The water absorbs the heat of the planetic system
and via a circulator transfers this heat to a special refrigerator
for its eventual rejection to the surroundings.
The core itself might also be cooled, by means of circulating water
or other liquid within it, this water or other liquid being introduced
and discharged through the core's shaft 2.
3. Lubricating can be effected via a system delivering lubricating
oil in all points of friction (gears, etc.) as well as via the ball
bearings supporting the shafts 2 8 and 10. The case of using a
small quantity of lubricant in the fuel mixture (similarly as in
double stroke petrol engines) might also be examined in the rotary
motor embodiment.
4. Materials of construction
Following the necessary study, the most appropriate materials are
selected for the manufacturing of several parts of the planetic
system, so that depending on the possible conditions it might have
to confront with (pressures, temperatures, torques, etc.) it will
show a satisfactory performance, always bearing in mind the relative
cost. Thus it is possible besides from metals (steel, iron, aluminum)
to employ other lighter and cheaper materials such as plastic PVC,
etc., in certain cases and in particular in the embodiments of pumps
and fluid flow meters.
5. Size and dimensions of the Planetic System
The size of the planetic system can vary depending on the requirements
on the performance of the machinery and also depending on the cost
involved. Nevertheless, the dimensions of several parts of the planetic
system are calculated in a way such that the full strength and maximum
efficiency of the employed material might be manifested. Thus, it
is of particular importance that the dimensions (diameter and length)
both of the core and the planets and especially the necessary relationship
between them (r:R and L) be correctly selected.

Get the facts about Monroe CCC diving, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches at different division levels have different recruiting practices. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Monroe CCC Diving information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Monroe CCC.
Always maintain a positive attitude, especially when you're in pain, or losing a game. Be a good sport, and keep trying. Believe you'll be successful, act like you can still win the game, and then go out and make it happen. Be aggressive, and make a second try on a given play if you have time. It's one thing to make a good effort, but great players keep trying until they succeed, no matter how many years of team practice that takes.
If you get lazy, and decide to take it easy during practice, coaches will take notice. Push yourself, work hard, and you'll improve as a player. It's important to find a position that you really like to play, not just settle for what you're good at. Over the long haul, you'll have a better athletic career. Minnesota State University personal trainer certification may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails.

I wish more of the world's problems could be settled with a dance off.
"Ore Oduba and partner Joanne jived their way to the top on Saturday night with a glittering display which wowed the judges.
"It was only Craig Revel Horwood who could find the tiniest fault, leaving the dance duo 1-point short of a maximum score!
"Danny Mac came in second spot while Ed Balls came rock-bottom with his paso doble.
"This week Ore sent us an exclusive look behind the scenes on rehearsal day, showing us there's more than dancing he has to do on a daily basis."

1,800 Meals on Wheels get delivered each day to home bound seniors in our community. Sometimes this is their only interaction with another human being a day. With the 'day of love' coming up, I thought I would challenge the runners to making 500 valentines to be put with their meals!
Teachers! This is a great tool for your kids in your class.
So grab your construction paper, plain white paper or heck, even buy the $3 box of Finding Nemo Valentines and write out a quick note about why you think they rock or a little poem.
DROP OFF YOUR CARDS AT FLEET FEET, there will be a box there to put it on the main side of the store!
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you!
They are due February 9th, because I have to get them to Senior Citizens, Inc by 2/10/15 so they can get them with the meals etc.
Questions: email me at Victoriaruns1@gmail dot com

Posted by Courtney Vavra, Annual Fund & Digital Marketing Manager on August 10, 2017
We are proud to be a safe haven for more than just cats and dogs, recently we rescued a large bird from a lifetime of sadness and neglect. Meisha the Cockatoo came to us in such distress, nearly bald from plucking her own feathers. Meisha was quiet and reserved at the shelter, tending to perch in the farthest corner, no matter how much we interacted with her. But last week, after months in our care, she found her forever flock! We knew immediately that this was a special match, as we had never seen Meisha so animated and vocal. It was heartwarming to witness her happy dance in response to her new dad's whistle.
We received a nice note from her new family a few days after she went home:
"She's all settled in and doing awesome! No feather plucking and no hissing, just lots of love and chitter chatter. She loves to play peekaboo! If you say "where's Meisha?" She ducks down and hides her head a little then when you say "peekaboo" she pops her head up and shows her beautiful crown. Absolutely loves our chickens outside her window, I think her feathers will be back soon and she'll be talking in no time! So happy my husband and I are able to help."
Be sure to check our Facebook page for more follow up stories and photos.
Hundreds of lost, sick and abandoned animals will turn to the New Hampshire SPCA in the coming months. Your gift will help us respond immediately to their most urgent needs.
Give now to help give second chances to deserving animals like Meisha.

1920's: HAMILTON AND PARK AVENUES, VILLA PARK
Posted by Tom Glover at 11:13 AM

Tom, isn't this bldg. located a block away on the corner of Hamilton and Olden? Not many structures resemble this particular building.
- Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Tom, This photo doesn't appear to be the corner of Park Ave, and Hamilton Ave. The corner soda fountain would be on the opposite side of the street, and the trolley wouldn't be on Park Ave. This corner was occupied by a Tydol Gas Station.
I, too, believe this may be the corner of Olden Ave, and Hamilton, where this building was a Drug store. The trolley would be on Olden Ave. Just my opinion. rayfromvillapark
P.S. Hope all is well. I haven't visited your blog in a while.

I like Mercury Solutions, they provided me with what they promised. All communication with the staff was good. All the tactics used to impart training was good. The trainer was an awesome person. He has a vast knowledge and knows how to train a student, he taught me with all the possibilities in the security field. He knows his subject very well. I highly recommend the trainer for all the security related trainings. The company guest house and the staff was very good. The overall transportation was also good and the drivers are helpful. They also sent me for city tours which were awesome.

I am really delighted about the SQL Training course: Querying Microsoft SQL Server with Mercury Solutions. Every session was great and very valuable. Practical application made the course significantly more valuable. The thing most impressive was the way the entire programme was structured. Instructor is having great experience and diverse knowledge in SQL Server. I am looking for learning Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Databases with same trainer.
