"Crayons!" no. 114; "Read!"
Note the new headline format. I’m trying to figure out an artful way to get the daily theme in the headline, instead of the redundant “Use All The Crayons!” over and over. Any thoughts? I welcome your input.
Early buzz for “Evan & Elle in Heaven & Hell” continues to be wildly encouraging. “This book is awesome! It’s just such a fun read, and a fun book is an enjoyable book. And, I get the impression that, despite the fact that for you writing this book is technically work, you are really enjoying writing it!”
Thank you, Eric R., Peter’s Twp., Pa. And you’re right. It sure doesn’t feel like work!
My goal is to have hard copies ready for distribution by Memorial Day. Projected cost: $25. That would make it my most expensive book, and $25 more than my least expensive book, (“Crayons!”) which is free.
Today’s theme: “Read”
