Pandemic Edition Sunday March 29, 2020

1. So the US is now the highest nation in the world with the most deaths of the Covid-19 virus.

And then tRump tweeted this:




“President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’ Numbers are continuing to rise...



...On Monday, nearly 12.2 million people watched Mr. Trump’s briefing on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, according to Nielsen — ‘Monday Night Football’ numbers. Millions more are watching on ABC, CBS, NBC and online streaming sites, and the audience is expanding. On Monday, Fox News...

...alone attracted 6.2 million viewers for the president’s briefing — an astounding number for a 6 p.m. cable broadcast, more akin to the viewership for a popular prime-time sitcom...

How disgusting is this? As if we're a reality show. People are dying and all he cares about is his ratings? **I'm documenting this so people will see how dangerous this man was to our nation.


2. Things to do during this stay at home order:

I really enjoyed this story of a 19 year old Orthodox Jewish girl who leaves her community, searching for herself.

3. Take an Italian online class:

I'm currently taking Italian through Babbel. Hopefully this will also help with my current project set in Italy.

4. Washing those hands. Remember do it for 20 seconds. I've been singing the words to a number of Prince songs.

5. Humor **Because we all need a little relief right now:

Marchmadness Day 30-Not Giving up

Image
Wow, can you believe it's almost April? Time really flies by when you're in the revision ditches like I've been! Just got the proofs for NO GODDESSES ALLOWED which means this next week I'll be busy checking and rechecking my story before it goes out to get published! Yay! This project seems to have taken FOREVER or like Liz my fab editor at Zumaya likes to say--it has been under the mummy's curse. This is in reference to Jordan's cursed bracelet. Today I'm going to use A YEAR OF WRITING DANGEROUSLY again! Loving this book that I picked up at ALA12 last summer! Thanks New World Library and Barbara Abercrombie! #360 On Not Giving Up Kathryn Stockett got sixty rejections for her bestselling novel THE HELP. Her first rejection read, "Story did not sustain my interest." But it was her very first rejection, so she was actually thrilled with it. She went back to edit her story. On the fortieth rejection, she cried. She thought...

CINDERELLA'S DRESS BLOG TOUR and GIVEAWAY

I'm really excited to be a part of this blog tour! My YA Books Central review: YABC Imagine if the story of Cinderella might in fact be true. That's what you'll discover in the very imaginative CINDERELLA'S DRESS which is the PERFECT fantasy set in WW2 with a girl, a magical dress, and much more! What worked: This is a delightful tale that introduces us to Kate who longs to decorate department store windows to the horror of her mother. She wants Kate to be a model. This is right at the tail end of the second war where rations included no pantyhose and other essentials. Then one day an elderly couple come to their home from Poland with a trunk and rumors of a magical dress. This is where the story comes alive. Kate is curious about what is in that trunk and when her aunt hints that she is in fact the 'keeper' of that Cinderella's dress? Kate wants to know more. Add the descendants of the wicked stepsisters who are up to no good and want the ...
