I had signed with Dorrance Publishing to publish two of my books (Intorqueo: A Collection of Short Stories and Intorqueo: More Twists, More Turns). The contract, it turned out, made me the owner of the stories in name only. Oh, I will still get money if the books sell, whether on Amazon or in Barnes and Noble (or off of the Dorrance Bookstore online), but the company basically has the say on ownership. Even when the contracts end after a couple years, I would have to submit my withdrawal in writing.

Basically, they can do with my submitted books as they see fit, keeping my name as author and me as "partner", which is code for "I became a sucker to their words and promises".

I plan to have any contract from any publisher scrutinized by lawyers, as such will be cheaper than what was paid to have those two books published in the first place.

So, if anyone has any name of any legitimate publishing house that isn't trying to scam a person out of a lot of money, I'm all ears.

There are times in my life when I feel like I'm going through things that I believe no one else has gone through (at least not anyone I know). So if no one has gone through or is going through a similar situation, it makes me think that no one could really understand me. And since I'm an over thinker (for those who don't know the term, it's someone who thinks too much, analyzes everything in the smallest detail, several times), this makes me see things from two different perspectives. On the one hand, it's weird to know that you're not understood by the people around you and that you may not even be able to talk to them about certain things for various reasons. On the other hand, if by absurdity you meet someone who can understand you, that would mean that that person has either been through that situation or is still in a similar situation. This, on the one hand, can be pleasant (not to be taken the wrong way) to know that someone understands you. But on the other hand, it can be very unpleasant, especially if you're also an empathetic person. And if your situation is really bad and you're supposed to be a good person, then...would it really be easy for you to know that there's someone else going through a similar situation as you? Maybe in situations like this you end up preferring to be truly unique, to be truly the only one going through a situation like this. (Of course, the subject can also be seen differently...generalized and seen as in any problem...but that would lead to another subject that could be more difficult to explain.)

How much do you know yourself?

Just like we stand in front of the mirror everyday to look physically beautiful and look at ourselves, do we do something like that everyday to make ourselves beautiful from inside (character, behavior, etc)?

Rent is expensive. Moving to a new apartment is expensive. Moving to a whole new State across the country is very expensive; we're talking quadruple-digits (if you have found a way to circumvent this, you have my respect). So, I'll stay in Washington State just one more year (which is what I said last time). After that, I plan to move somewhere that isn't turning into California.

Anyone else having to put off plans of moving? Or, if you have moved, are you happy/better off in your new location?

666

What do you know about this number?

Well, it is commonly referred to as the Number of the Beast.


What do you think about this....in modern times...

Women want a man to make:

6 figures and be
6 feet tall and have a
6 inch stick in his pants



What are we to make of that?

I rarely lose things. But it's highly possible I could misplace something for years.
Right now, it's 2 things on my list.
The first, I paid $250 for a dimensional dental x-ray they put on CD for me that I need for an upcoming appointment with the endodontist. They handed it to me and left the office and went directly to my car. It's not in the passenger seat and it didn't make it to my attache.
The other is a special 22.2 volt model aircraft battery. I had 2 and this past summer, I retired one model that uses them. I brought it back into my lineup 2 weeks ago. Unable to find the original 2 batteries I bought 2 more. Nowhere to be found, I've been looking in tool boxes, along with other standard 11.1 volt batteries and maybe... just maybe they are in a plastic case that slipped under the seat of my car.

If I'm lucky, I'll find them along with the CD.

(Note to self: Get a plan to organize things)

I believe that the greatest crime is to learn something that can significantly benefit other people, yet share it with no one.
