  1. I don't know where in the forum to post this question:

    one of my manuscripts is ready with the exception of the cover. I'd counted on using a photo I'd taken a few years ago, but can't find it & cannot seem to come up with anything as appropriate. I don't have the option of re-taking the picture, as it was in a different state. it's a photograph of a mural-- my question is, in that I know some very talented artists, would it be considered copyright infringement if someone were to simply draw a "kinda like a copy" of the mural, possibly making just a couple of changes or something so it would be a little different from the original?

    I know some murals DO have copyright signs on them, but I'm not sure about this one.

  2. Oh, what a night!

    Yep, thats me with youngatheart looking over 2 generations. Zachary is doing well as is his beautiful mother, who by the way spent a grueling 19 minutes in actual labor.

    I hated the idea of becoming a grandfather at 49, but there was something about holding a tiny life in my hands that changed everything.

    I had planned to say something special over him when I held him for the first time......., a wish........, a wish that God would guide him as he had guided me. But when I held him and looked at him, my breath was stolen away, because I knew that my wish had already come true.

    and congratulations to you, too!!! :)

  3. (I was gonna say 'my' instead of 'the'-- but didn't want to sound pushy!) :lol:

    o.k., I have written material which needs a bit of touch-ups, & then off to the publisher they go...

    can you guys plz give me a little push- as I'm having quite a difficult time trying to "find time" for those last few editings...?

    thanks :)

    (p.s. they're not poetry!!!) :P

  4. Just got done reading I Am Legend. If the movie is like the book, I'll pass. But then again, Hollywood changes books so much, it probably won't even be anything like the book. I'm still in the process of reading Anam Cara, A Book of Celtic Wisdom. And, after school gets back in session, my classes will be reading Esperanza Rising and To Kill A Mockingbird.

    Is it just me, or does it seem that books written now are less challenging and thought provoking than those written 10-20+ years ago?

    nope, you're correct

  5. The emptiness of your world is laughable

    Pathetic, at least,

    As you strive for aquisition, power,

    Taking no heed

    Of anything that really matters!

    Fool! You swirl in discontent

    Without a soul, blaming all for your misery

    Bringing shame to those who gave you life

    And spitting in the face of God

    As you covet, steal, and try so hard to rise above

    Your self-imposed state of nothingness!

    Have you yet realized that your little props

    Cannot bring you manhood

    You weak little bastard

    Who does not have what it takes

    To gain by honesty or truth!

    But keep on spinning your yarns

    Strangle yourself with your own deception

    While your little machines head for the junkyard.

    So will you- in time, so will you.

    For I am indeed mightier than your swords.
