Happy Holidays
and Best Wishes for a Great 2010
from All of Us Here at Logical Expressions, Inc.

Thank you for reading our Publishize newsletter and this blog. Our regular article-filled newsletters will return the week of January 4th.

In the meantime, if you get tired of eating and watching televised sports over the next few weeks, here are a couple of goofy videos for your amusement.

"Cami Card Outtakes" - from our many holiday card photo sessions (like the one above):

" How a Book Cover (Really) Is Created" - the Funds to the Rescue cover photo shoot where you discover how I got Cami to sit still...sort of:

Enjoy! We hope you and yours enjoy a wonderful holiday season. See you in 2010 ;-)

When the temperature is in the single digits, the mantra on the daily hound walkie is "no dawdling." We are out there marching through the forest in the freezing cold to get something done, not to sniff random things, wander aimlessly, or goof off. When it's freezing, you gotta get the All Furry Team out there and get back inside as quickly as possible.

I touch on this type of single-minded focus in this week's article. To write a book, sometimes you just need to get out there and get it done.

Enjoy!

How to Get Started on Your Book

by Susan C. Daffron

When it comes to writing a book, often people simply can't figure out how to get started, so here are hints for making your book a reality.

This week, I set up our first holiday promotion, well, ever. A friend called it an "an advent calendar of savings" which I thought was a cool description. If you missed the email, check out the SUNsational Winter Solstice Holiday Countdown on this page:

Meanwhile, I also completely gutted and redesigned the home page of the Logical Expressions Web site. Dealing with the Cascading Style Sheets involved in the process made me utterly cranky, but all was not lost. My foul humor inspired this week's article, since every time I think of the movie Say Anything and Lloyd Dobler, it just makes me smile.

Enjoy!
