July Newsletter

Bella

Welcome to the MarieAnne and Friends newsletter. Mother Nature is playing with us. Flirted with 100 a few days ago. 62 now (28Jun26). Should stay in the high 80s, low 90s for the next few days. We’re on fire. The state is suffering from a protracted drought. We have a fireworks ban in effect. Could be a first for Utah. Air is good now, but it was worrisome a few days ago. We’ll see how it goes. We’re not as smart as we should be.

Finished with the rough cut of Episode 1 of Mr. Lucky. Just need to stitch together the 10 scenes. It’s not as smooth as I would like, but for a first effort, not that bad. I might work out some of the rough edges as I put it together. It shouldn’t take too long. I should have something by the end of the week. I’ll let you know. Would appreciate any feedback. Be kind. The kid is learning.

No submittals for June. Saved a few short plays and stories submittal requests posted on Facebook. I may get back in the groove or move on to Episode 2 of Mr. Lucky. I’ve settled on WriterDuet for most of the production work for the radio drama. Gaining respect for Audacity. Well, cross your fingers. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. My current WDC contest entry explores the relationship of intelligence versus imagination as relates to AI. It was fun. Gemini and co-Pilot are proving invaluable research assistants and production assistants. I’ve become a fan of AI.

Got some nice reviews for archived stories. Hope you like them.

If you’re thinking about writing, don’t let publishing be a major concern. Self-publishing is becoming accepted. It couldn’t be easier. It may be a backdoor to traditional publishing, if you want to go that way. Build a following and the publishers may let you in the front door. Publishing is easy, marketing is not. I’m trying to crack that nut. It may be the basis for a business model for Intercede.

In time, as we get to know each other better and you tell me what you would like to know about MarieAnne, this section will expand. For now, I will add short stories or other tidbits which I think you may enjoy. You might find it convenient to use Chat at MarieAnne’s website.

The Un-American Americans

About time for something political. Nice review: Oh my! An intense subject these days, and well expressed without ignorance being front and forward. Thank you for sharing, it was interesting and well told. I have no suggestions, or see errors, again a good read.

”From the archives. The happy ever after tale of a witch and her hanging. Nice review: This is a very readable piece. You could continue this, tell your readers as much of the rest of the story as you feel necessary. Whether you ever add more or not, know this, I’m very glad I stumbled upon this piece. Keep up the excellent work.

I’ve Always Known

The journey of soul mates. Never linear, but always progressing. Nice review. Nicely written details and a good word flow. Always knowing who you love and your soul mate is. A good style and easy to follow. This holds the reader’s interest. A neat rhyme pattern puts the words in motion and rounds this out with a good flair. I enjoyed reading this.

I’ve Always Known

The latest in what is happening to MarieAnne and Friends

Well, that’s about it from Salt Lake. Take care and get out there. Note: this is from a hermit, who may get out 5 or 6 times a week.
