Blatant Self Promotion

I've drawn a nice picture of a horse.

Twas only a little competition but the cash was much appreciated! http://www.competitionpoetry.com/Results.html

Jude, you got first and second! How cool is that? ~ www.fabulousmother.com

Oh what the heck - here's the link to my book, Nappygate via the ABC/Amazon bookshop thingy... that's why it's such a daft looking link. http://associatesshop.filzhut.de/shop/product.php?ID=d01d5816a05b7559f0b... Bet it won't work... ~ www.fabulousmother.com

I did me some words that I done posted. Also, http://www.p-3-d.co.uk has some stuff I also done. As well as http://www.betterthinking.org.uk which is something I tried to do a long time ago. If you don't promote yourself, don't expect anyone else too. Poot poot ping pong

I was the grateful recipient of a hundred and fifty quid, better than a slap in the chops and it means I won't starve this month. Since having to leave my cushy well-paid job, I have really learned to value the small things of this world! jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

The worst thing about my book is that I took all of the stories off ABCtales (cherries 'n' all!). That made me sad. Cheer me up by buying the book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/1846855187/

enzo, you're at 61,791 in the book chart!! also twinned with someone called barry price, is he a mate?

I do know Barry, we got paired automatically because a couple of people bought our books at the same time. At one point I was at 2,000 in the rankings! That put me as the 25th biggest selling short story collection - but it's not anything to get excited about, it's a quirk of their system rather than an accurate reflection... Enzo.. Buy my book! http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/1846855187/

I have Enzo's book, and can confirm it is a good read. I then gave it to my eldest son, who read it front to back. As I have no book to promote, I'll back Enzo, instead!

I haven't read Enzo's book, but I have read Tom Saunders' book of short stories which is fantastic.

I've got a book out. The only thing about it though is: It's mine. My webpage is at: http://www.bookscape.co.uk

I've just read Enzo's book. it IS very very good. I second Gareth's verdict on Tom Saunders' book, 'Brother what strange place is this?' C'est tres bon. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

Thanks Lisa / Jude - Not just for those comments but for all the nice things you've said. Much appreciated. I've just ordered Tom's book and another copy of Lou's. My first copy got lost - among a lot of other books - in my move a few weeks ago. And I've recently found out I'll be needing it, it seems that some time in July I'll be the owner of a brand new baby. I can also recommend Fish's chapbook. Enzo.. Buy my book! http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/1846855187/

ooh, congratulations!

that's quite a good bit of self promotion there enzo! ... congrats ... (and thanks for kind words about book too ...) xxx

Wait a minute; you've got five months left until the baby comes and you *just found out*?! I mean, aren't such things rather obvious from early on, or is there a context here I'm missing? (Hmm, best not to ask, perhaps...) Congratulations, btw! Prepare yourself....;-) When I have the money I promise to buy everyone's books; sadly, I'm not only starved of reading material but also starved of funding right now...:-(

you need to do some prosperity thinking ag!

God, that's all I seem to do; I've tried everything: lottery tickets (I almost typed 'littery tickets'); filling myself with golden light; positive affirmations ("I AM successful and have everything I need"), you name it, bar voodoo dolls. I may have to try that, if nothing else works!

Awww many congratulations, Ben! See, you *were* doing it right all this time... How exciting. You'll have to keep us posted. Best wishes to Mother Enzo. x (And thanks for getting my book, Petal, I didn't know you had one!) ~ www.fabulousmother.com

Thanks all. The thing I'm stuggling with is trying to look happy when asked for the millionth time "Are you excited?!" AG - I said i found out recently, which I did - about 3 months ago. Actually, Lou, what I said wasn't strictly true. We moved just the other week, and around that time I wrote a list for a friend to order some books for me (he owed me money). On the list, among others, was your book. Over a few days when I was moving, i got 3 different Amazon packages, which I packed without opening. Since getting to mine, I've noticed a few books I'd wanted aren't there, including yours. ANYWAY, I ordered it again; I figured two sales would be better for you and the worst case is I end up with two copies (haven't check what's arrived at my old place yet). If I do end up with two, I'll give one away as a birthday present or summat. Enzo.. Buy my book! http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/1846855187/

By the way, I've been thinking that it's funny to be congratulated over a preganacy. I mean, it was only 30 seconds' work or something. Enzo.. Buy my book! http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/1846855187/

oooh congratulations *emits girly squeals all over the thread* jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

great thread for a very reasonable £5.99, this could take pride of place on your book shelf http://www.amazon.co.uk/Memory-Loss-Longing-Martin-Togher/dp/0955128803/...

oh and your baby will be a Golden Pig ... very auspicious according to our chinese friends ...

By the way, I've been thinking that it's funny to be congratulated over a preganacy. I mean, it was only 30 seconds' work or something. That's nothing. Several people congratulated me on becoming an uncle last week.

"By the way, I've been thinking that it's funny to be congratulated over a preganacy. I mean, it was only 30 seconds' work or something." Should we then congratulate you on having viable sperm?

I helped make this

Here's my kid's book - which is now 'out of print', but may be available in a new edition when I can find the time to work on it: http://thefluffles.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ and finally, here's my Christmas story, which IS for sale, but is mainly aimed at the women's magazine market ('My Weekly', 'The People's Friend', etc.) http://www.lulu.com/content/569056

I was notified today that I won 1st prize in the 2006 Craywell poetry competition - they haven't updated the website yet but I will give a link when they have. I designed this poster http://www.ukpriest.org/images/VocationsundayposterA440pc.gif and this http://www.judesworld.net/shadow.html here is my Sizewell nuclear power station slideshow/movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeGNtel9AQw jude

Congratulations, Jude. Liked the posters, too. Which program do you use?

thanks. For the footie one I used Photoshop CS2. For the bottle-shadow one, Corel Painter IX. jude "Cacoethes scribendi" http://www.judesworld.net

I've tried to get on with Photoshop, but I don't find it very user-friendly (I've only got 'Essentials', mind). I use Corel Photo House. Not come across Painter.

I've just sorted a little tune out on my 'myspace' page. Looking to check mix quality, considering I had to reduce a 38mb wav down to a 5mb mp3. Check out some of my tunes: http://www.myspace.com/shavedbybuddha

Like the sound, Yan. Don't think me rude - I'm just an ignoramus in these matters... was it all computer-generated? Which instruments do you play?

This video is nothing to do with me but I have been asked to help promote it where I can, so I am.

Hi alan Track was written in cubase (24 track recorder) and mastered via wavelab. I play all instruments (keyboards, drum sequencing, etc) and produce myself. The uploaded track is more a test track. I play guitar, bass, and drums, but my lil 16 track project studio is being re-decorated. Check out some of my tunes: http://www.myspace.com/shavedbybuddha

Your friend 'Tom' is rather dishy, Yan. Can I have a copy of him, too?

I can roll my tongue into a trefoil.

I am able to crush an empty beer can on my forehead. Visit me http://www.radiodenver.org/

I just won the tournament on 'Snowboard Madness' on Miniclip. I won't mention how many tries it took...

congratulations Jude. You must be chuffed. I have nothing to promote as yet, but a great idea for a thread. Juliet

One of me posters I've just uploaded: http://www.platform27.co.uk/Alan-Benefit?slsid=1170187269389&isContentPr... And I recently completed all 30 levels on this... which is very sad. http://www.2dplay.com/crazy-pool/crazy-pool-play.htm

Congrats on the win, Jude! Ok, Nappygate is now in stock at Amazon and an extract from it is going to be published in www.mamazine.com in April. I can grill fishfingers without setting off the smoke alarm. ~ www.fabulousmother.com

I am an uncle.
