.docx

Hi fellas!

Just wonder if I could make a request as I've run into this problem with a few of your manuscripts. My computer (I use an older Mac) cannot open .docx files. If you use a newer Microsoft-based computer, you likely send your manuscript in the .docx format, which is totally cool because most (normal) people can read these files no problem. But I'm not normal, and I can't.  So if you wouldn't mind sending a .doc or .pdf format out as a secondary option for viewing your manuscripts, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Benefits of Write Fu

I have finally revised "The Dog And His Boy" using the suggestions from my last submission. It was like having 5 editors from the best kids publishing house in the US, reading, analyzing, commenting and basically improving the manuscript.

Maybe the next step is putting a virtual tour together for 8 kids ebooks.

Thank you to all the Write Fu editorial staff.

Untitled piece of ?

I forgot to write in the FU.

Any comments are welcome on the short bit I e-mailed a week or so ago, which was a brainstorm/noodling about session.

Here's a fun YouTube video by actor-comedian Stephen Fry. It's all about enjoying language--"Tickle the ones we talk to," Fry says!
