What’s Going on?

It’s been an amazing month and a half with my friend…my site. Every day I jump out of bed and check my e-mail for submissions and/or comments on www.JeffsShorts.com. I visit it at least once every day for the sole purpose of saying Hello! How are you? I love you.” When I come home from work I spend hours trying different ways to attract writers. So far I’ve joined on-line writers groups on Yahoo, Google, My Space, Meet Up, and ezboard. I’ve joined on-line meditation groups including Silva Mind Control, and a NASCAR group, and gone to two writers group meetings here in Savannah Georgia. I have an ad in The Savannah Connect Newspaper. On Sunday the 2nd of April and Sunday the 9th of April I’m advertising in The Jamaica Sunday Gleaner. Next week I will be contacting the Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Police Department with the purpose of advertising for writers in their interdepartmental newspaper.  I also will be contacting local hospitals with the same purpose in mind. Also next week I will be contacting English/Master of Fine Arts departments at universities to see how I might effectively reach writers.

 

I thought it might be difficult to find stories to publish, I never thought it would be this hard to even get submissions. So

 

…If you are a writer I want to read your stories.

 

And if you are a reader?  I’m going to bring terrific stories to www.JeffsShorts.com. There are four stories I really like there now.

 

No matter what happens with submissionsno matter how long it takes

 

…I will not compromise

 

 

Also many parts of the site are still in development. The Visitors Home Page loads differently in different browsers and on different sized screens. I’m told that there is a java script that controls that. Guess I’ll have to learn Java! I’m discussing a www.JeffsShorts.com  updates newsletter with a professional website designer as I do not know how to set it up myself. This is my first Jeff’s Page. I still need to create the About Us section. I’ve got a fabulously talented creative woman designing my logo. Actually it’s done I just haven’t seen it yet.

 

All in all having my own website is incredibly exciting. I dream of the possibilities of course and it’s amazing when I see that I’ve had a visitor to the site from Seychelles in both April and March. And that I’ve had visitors from Spain, France, Italy, Canada and The United States. If you are reading this my Seychelles visitor, or any of my visitors from around the world send me an e-mail, I’d like to know who you are.

 

Until we meet again

 

Jeff
