I'm getting so discouraged with my book, "Sadie's Stories". I am really hoping to be able to use a friend's picture that he drew for me, slightly altered for the cover art. Finally figured out how to fix up the book, so it looks normal though. I will make the text larger. Perhaps 11 or 12 pitch in Garamond. I do not want to use Times New Roman at all. That text sucks ass.

So, onto the stories. I've written 7 books now. But I've thought about it, and I'm only going to publish 6 of them. I should have just gone with gut instinct, and just printed them off plain as day. Just gone ahead, printed them up and shipped 'em off. It would have been easier that way. But the 7th book, I can't use (most likely) because it involves the Muppets and the Back to the Future trilogy characters: Doc Brown, Marty McFly, Biff, and Griff. As well as the DeLeoran. I'm a sucker for sci-fi comedy. Plus it made the perfect foil for traveling in time.

Blame a weekend marathon of BTTF. That's what originally inspired me to write that 7th book.

"The Bonds of Family"
"Forgotten Wishes"
"Remembering The Good Times We Had"
"The Search for Sadie"
"Demon's Delight"
"Is That A Song There?"
"A Grand Adventure in Life!"

That's all of my stories that I've written so far. I just wish I could include the 7th book. I'm already having to grapple with the mouse for minor publishing rights, non-profit for my book. Because they own the friggin Muppets now. I wish Jim Henson Company owned them still. I mean...I'd still have to get the minor publishing rights, but I have a feeling it would be so much easier if it was still them that I had to deal with.

Well, so goes the fight for the book deal.
