The Book Tour Begins

Well, sort of.
I'm over here at the Wrote by Rote blog talking about...my book.

As for this blog...well, I've been busy getting a website set up and that also means I need to switch over to a new blog (WordPress). More news on that soon. But in the meantime, check out Wrote by Rote and tell me what you think.

Aloha Teresa,

Just read (and commented:) over at Arlee's blog... bloody well done you (and the dog) for sharing such a wonderful, amazing story that I can't wait to read:)

You have a new follower... here or at Wordpress :)

Mark--Aloha back at you (and I hope that means you live in Hawaii; I love Maui and wrote a good chunk of the book while vacationing there!). Thanks for your comments and your "follow"! And good luck with your writing.

Prudence--thank you! And I see you have a hound as well. I mistakenly referred to her as a beagle in my comment on Arlee's blog, but I see from reading your blog that she is instead a coonhound (cousin!). Either way, hounds are awesome! Thanks for stopping by.

Comments mean you care. That's all I'm saying.

Why The Title

I hate and refuse to read/ watch/ acknowledge any story involving a dog--because I love dogs and the dog in a movie/ book/ whatever always dies. I can't handle that.

When I found out I had cancer I said to Chris (writer, significant other; in case there is a soul reading this who doesn't know that) "If I die, given that Seamus lived, you have to write the memoir "The Dog Lived." I love the irony. Seamus (our beagle) was diagnosed with cancer more than 3 years ago and was told (okay, right, I was told; Seamus still doesn't know) that he would live maybe a year. Instead he's cancer-free and well into remission. That would be the great irony of my life story--the dog lives. I don't.

Not surprisingly, Chris was not amused and did not want to write that memoir. Oh, and my prognosis is not at all that grim. So instead, in a rare mood I'm attempting to just put a positive spin on things. The Dog Lived...and so will I.

For Those of You Over the age of 35

It seems we've learned the age cut-off for understanding how a blog works (i.e. Chris or younger = you get it). So here's a few hints:

1) if you are new to the blog you actually start at the bottom (scroll down) for the first entry and then work your way up.

2) if you want to leave a comment, click on the "# comments" phrase (it will actually say 0 or 1 or 6 ...an actual number) at the end of each post (okay, "article" if the word "post" was too bloggy for you). A window will open with the other comments and a box where you can type in your comment. You don't have to have an account. Just fill in the "Name/URL" with how you want to identify yourself and then click on the "Publish Post" button.

3) comments are how I know you care. ;-)
