Default I need yer help!

Seems someone wants to turn my Morning Coffee thread into a book!

If ya ever posted on it, and I mentioned ya in one of my posts, I need yer persmission to include yer username in the book!

I'll do my best to contact folks individually and ask for their permission, but I got three sites that thing is on, and it goes back over a year on one site! Somewhere around twenty thousand views altogether and thousands of posts to sort thru!

This is startin' to sound like work or somethin'.....

If I mentioned ya and ya don't want to be inna book, I'll work around ya or write ya out of it.

At this point we still have to find a publisher. I'm just in the early stages here and tryin' to get my ducks inna row is all!

Semper Fidelis... and thanks!

Hard to believe someone wants to put my ramblin's over coffee inna book........

LT,

If and when I get it published, I'll gladly sign a copy fer any Veteran anytime, anywhere!!

I'm figgerin part of the 'dedication' will be to Marines and other members of the service, and especially to folks who put up with my ramblin's on these three sites that I fixed coffee on! A pretty good bit of it has to do with Vets and being a Vet anyway!

I ain't there yet, though, but I got a mission.....and I'm stupid stubborn when I got a mission!

The first rough draft of the manuscript went to the proof reader yesterday, though!


If it weren't for folks like you, there wouldn't a been a Morning Coffee to worry about!


Now I might have a chance to go on Oprah!

Sure I'll take a copy too. 1st books are hard to write. I"ve tried twice but always shelf it to finish later and I get side tracked. Then when I get back to it I start all over.

Writing a book you need to go into isolation clear your thoughts and then hammer it out. Good Luck.
