Instant Author
Saturday, August 09, 2014
I'm so happy! I made a book! Yay! Ok. So what I really did was.
- Dump all the notes from my cellphone to my other blog.
- Save an ebook version of all my other blogs and then save them in google drive.
It was hard! Well, not HARD hard, just a little more tedious than what I expected. It was still rewarding, but I did it using a bunch of shortcuts. Haha!
Step 1: I migrated all the blog posts I wanted, plus, my cellphone notes on my custom Wordpress blog.
Step 2: I installed the Anthologize plug-in. By the way, wordpress.com blogs don't allow plug-ins.
Step 3: Fiddle the fiddles!
Step 4: Presto! Instant book!
I will not post the book because of several reasons:
- It's very messy. I just collected my notes and devotions.
- It needs more pictures. Maybe, I should go learn some adobe publishing kung fu first.
- I'm really, really vain and touchy about this.
- Organize my recent book hoard.
I tried this. It was horrible! I wasn't able to sort through much. I tried. Sort of. I'll try harder. I have about 138 book on writing and teaching English.
I was not able to
- Write a summary of the Lynda.com Article Writing class that I saw.
- Read and document things from the EPH Training Forum, and complete reading the basic Writer's Manual.
- BerkeleyX: ColWri2.2x Principles of Written English
- HarvardX: GSE2x Leaders of Learning
- Write reviews of books I have set out to read.
Today, I had to face the reality of life. Mama wanted to leave for Canada. She wants to pay for the house. She thinks we are unreliable. I don't blame her. I did not handle it well. It was not pretty. -- Accept graciously.
I edited the profile of my aunt for her work stuff. It took a little more than 2 hours. I should have gotten a copy of it. Tomorrow I'll have it.
The lack of links, pictures, media, wisdom and freebies on this blog is unnerving me. Haha!
I haven't been doing my devotions. I'm kind of avoiding His Word. This is awful. Do not do this.
Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts like you did in the rebellion.
Accept with love and joy and gratitude and faithfulness and appreciate. They all sound the same, but not really, but hey!
Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you - guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
I failed this. Try harder! Be faithful!
I wasn't in a good mood because I was frustrated while dwelling on whether any of this will count for anything. It's an excuse. Kill it. Dwell on the His goodness. Anything that is not done for Love will not matter, ever. So yes all this went to waste! Be more faithful.
I promised my cousin I would go with him tomorrow to get custom coke for his friend leaving for Malaysia. I should not go to his church, I know.
My grandma wants me to come with her to Canada next year, but only for a few months. I'm not sure if this is ok, because I've gotten word a year ago that I should.
I am still unemployed. Sort of. I've been sifting through online job stuff, but haven't done anything substantial, yet. I'm definite I will not survive the corporate jungle in this condition. --I will THRIVE in the jungle through Christ who gives me strength, but only if it's what I'm supposed to do. Which is the other issue I've been mulling over. He's been calling me to teach! I don't have the meatsickles to kill it! I don't have the substance to back it up. -- All meatsickles are from Him. But all I have is Engrish. It look like I'm not supposed to be a techy person or something. But I hate English! I just like the media. I think I should all be like, "Freeeeeeeedom!" As if a thorn has been taken out of me, but I feel like my life has been a lie. I'm not happy about it. Feelings are deceiving, though. So that's not much of an indicator.
Hope hard! I am not looking forward to anything exciting lately. I need some mini-targets.
