Picture of The Day

I'm all hated out for now-.  Here's a picture.


I don't know if nobody can find it or what

But as I work out my troubles with my URL and Google's tech guys, remember that my blog

lit, a place for stories

is in fact a PLACE that has STORIES.  It can be found at this link, or at the temporary address of tboe.blogspot.com.

I've posted a couple of shorts there, including the haunting (PUN INTENDED) "Some Zombie Stories, 6."

Also, you writers: remember this:

DO NOT FORGET:

COMING ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, it's the first-ever anthology of stories by indie writers to bear the INDIE WRITERS MONTHLY stamp of approval*, and we want YOU to be a part of it.

The anthology is going to be a collection of stories about Time Travel, and here is HOW YOU CAN GET IN ON THIS:

A. Have a story about time travel, or write one.
2.  Submit that story to us, by June 15, 2014.  (send submissions to litaplaceforstories[at]gmail.com** and label them "IWM TIME TRAVEL ANNUAL" or something like that.)
THIS IS IMPORTANT: paste the story directly into the of the email.  
I'M NOT OPENING ATTACHMENTS.  

III. Make sure you have the rights to the stories and it'd be nice if it hadn't been published somewhere else.  

Word limits? Who do you think you're talking to, here? Because there'll only be a few weeks to read them, shoot for somewhere between 1 and 1,000 words, but if you go longer, by all means, go longer.

Still reading?  Good.  Here is WHY you want to get in on this!

8(a)2.: The stories we like the best will get put into the anthology and you'll be a published writer! 
and

C: There are prizes! Specifically, the story picked as best by the IWM gang will win a $15 Amazon Gift Card and the Runner Up will get a $10 Amazon Gift Card.

So there you have it!  I look forward to getting those stories.

We should respect Kim and Kanye's privacy by never watching or talking about them again. (Why I Hate People)

Because they clearly want privacy for their highly-publicized wedding, as shown by the fact that Kim called a press conference to announce that they will not I REPEAT NOT be televising the wedding!

At the highly-private public press conference, the very-private person whose entire life is filmed by multiple cameras told all the super-private reporters for websites and magazines that AND THIS IS AN EXACT QUOTE

"Privacy is our main priority."



Pictured: A private moment, as seen in Playboy.

They are SO SERIOUS about the privacy of this non-wedding (they won't exchange vows and actually got married on May 4) that EXACT QUOTE TIME Kim told The Daily Mail

We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians....You will see everything leading up til and after! 

Again, the reason they're not showing the ceremony is they are already married and have been for 18 days, plus they cannot legally marry in France under French law.  But you know, privacy.

So if you want to respect Kim and Kanye's wishes, don't pay any attention to them. If you still want to send them a little gift, maybe do like Kim's ex-boyfriend Ray J, who is sending the happy couple a check representing a portion of Ray's profits from the sex tape he made with Kim that made her famous.

I call this "Privacy 2: Electric Boogaloo"!
