My day job, as a Magazine Vendor and Book Vendor
Article Entry Date: February 23,2019
I am a Magazine Vendor in my regular job.
I love it, don't get me wrong. (Well, sometimes, I love it.)
The stores I do magazines for, in the towns I work.
    Sanford, N.C.
  1. 5 x Food Lions (Including one in Buffalo Lake)
  2. Walmart
  3. 2 x CVS, (Magazines and Book)
  4. 3 x Walgreens
  5. Lowes Home Improvement (They do not recycle the mags, they force me to throw them in the trash. A very non-green store)
  6. Lowes Food, (Magazines and Book)

    Chapel Hill, N.C.
  1. Walmart, (If I help my son, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods)
  2. Harris Teeter
  3. Lowes Food, (Magazines and Book)

    Holly Springs, N.C.
  1. Michaels, (Magazines and Book)
  2. Walmart
  3. 2 x Food Lions.

  3. 2 x Food Lions.


I put out books in certain stores. CVS, Michael's, and sometimes at Harris Teeter when I'm helping my son do his stores, which I have not done in quite some time, and do miss working with him. I think I will go out and help him next Friday.
I brought this up because the books we put out from the authors; are all the same authors, near about.
The only thing I can think of is they are writing the books, which possibly takes them about 2-4 weeks, they then hand it off to an editor, who edits the book, while the author is busy writing on the next book.
And then once the editor is finished, the author takes the book back. Reads over it, makes changes, hands it back to the editor, who finishes it off, and submits it to the publisher.

That is the only rational explanation for the number of books these authors put out.
(or)
They have ghostwriters.

It is all speculation, and there is no telling what these writers are actually doing.
But for me:
I do my writing, editing, proofing, design, Book cover, BIO, Pictures, and everything is all done solely by me.

I am not a professional editor by any means. So, I am really unsure what all they do to the transcripts they are handed. Of course, they could just make corrections and nothing else. But if that is the case, how can the writer get so many books out in a short period of time?

I can type pretty fast, not really sure how many words I can do a minute, as it has been a while since I did one of them time typing test, and back then. (About 3+ years ago), I could write with limited errors, over 125 words a minute.
So, I know with that, that I am able to write as much as these authors, and it takes me, (with writing the initial storyline, and then the editing and adding of content, removing, and adding of pages,) several months to get it just right to be published.

Oh, the wonders of authoring.
Have to love it to do what we do.
And I do, love it!

Still proofreading and editing.

Second Novel

I am working on the new book, and I still have not come up with a title for it yet.

I was hoping for 100,000 words, but not sure if I will make that goal or not. Then again, I still have 7+ chapters to go. Then I will start the actual editing, which will be very time-consumin...Continue reading...

Gwother's farm yard friends - Poor little chicken (Story #1)

Short Funny Stories

Back many years ago, before I was even thought of, there was a young girl who loved going out playing with her pigs, chickens, and cows, and one day, while out playing, one of the cows came up to her about a chicken who had broken its foot. She rushed over to the chicken and noticed the poor little creature was surrounded by all the pigs, cows, and, of course, its chicken family.
