A Call for Minds

10.11.09

A call for minds to earnestly unite,
this imperfect deliverance encountered.
Lives unfolded from words ignited,
stories from the past – inspired

On pen and paper this new trimmed life,
folded origami, an art transformed.
Grew from the breath of adventurous strife,
brilliance shared and lessons learned.

As pages evoked true inspirations,
this hope for lessons to spread like bush fire.
One book gave birth from different nations,
a genuine passion this heart desired.

Aspiring mentors now duly assigned,
gifts from scars and wounds remembered.
Opened chapters this life designed,
this call of minds graciously delivered.

Composed of 27 authors/bloggers, this book has finally been born. You can place your orders here

Oh, here it is….

Great cover, Jen. I love it. Congratulations! How does it compare to giving birth? Is it as troublesome, but fulfilling nevertheless? Rhetorical question. I know the answer, of course.

Congratulations, Doc Z. Ahem, you're an author now. “,)

PS: Holly is right. The new tweak to your individual posts is not intuitive even for for dodos like me. See? I did not even look for it. I just went out the door – and I'm your avid reader. “,)

Well, well, I had absolutely no idea that I was in the middle of such famous people, lol. Doc Z an author too? Man, I'm blessed for meeting you guys. Congratulation Doc and to all who participated in making this “dream” book come true.

Now, and for the promotion. Just to let you guys know (man, you are all discovering my secrets – hehe), I have a blog about “FreeAudioBooks” and related articles. I will be more than happy to promote it there. I saw Jena's post on P50, I'll leave my questions there so I can go an promote this “best seller” wannabe ASAP.

Meanwhile, RT on the way..

This line I find curious: “gifts from scars and wounds remembered”

Made me think of my many scars and the memories that go with each one – some good, mostly bad (lol), but still, a story to tell during casual get-togethers with friends. Hahaha.

Hey avid reader Jan,

I think I better forward that concern to my tech support group. So, there wouldn't be no more dodos missing in the comment section.

I envy you, Doc Z. You've come a long way talaga. An uber writer with his
fancy tech support group. I have no hangers-on to speak off, except of
course with this doddering dodo. Aw!

Jan,

I am lucky to have gifted friends who are willing to share their knowledge. I learn from experience and they teach me different stuff everyday.

Example is with this Disqus, I used to just hang out at writingtoexhale.com and gawk at the comments there. I was surprised how user friendly this is. Of course, the first time it was installed, it had to be hard coded to this website though.

Still looking for my own web host, maybe a shared web host.

That's true. You've impressive think tank there… I used Disqus first, but
look at you now – you're the one teaching me how to customize it. The
default gravatar, remember? And you've a nice looking tabbed widget from
Disqus. I'm afraid to go there, lest I break something. LOL

Holly,

I hope a few minutes of inspirational read from a new author like myself.

“Hep hep, Hooray!”

Come Christmas, you would already have two books, I hope to get my hands on autographed copies. Well, it would be better to also have a picture to prove that I got that book from you.
