Resurrect the WOOLLY MAMMOTH!!!

Resurrect them, I say! And how that statement pertains to my writing life 🙂 So, you have likely, by now, heard about the scientists who are trying to bring back the woolly mammoths from extinction. They left our world around 1700 BC although some people have timed it at 10,000 years ago. And they want to bring it back, because, well, why not? We need to resurrect these behemoths to reverse global warming. Or so they say… But–you ask–what has that to do with your writing, Kim Smith? Everything. And nothing.

Sunday Surmising-Surprising- Hello, It’s ME!

I have been pounding you guys with writing and publishing, marketing and mess until I know your eyes are crossed. Well, today, I am being more personal. It is December, and a Sunday and I feel a little cuddly. I want to dig into my blanket and read. It’s a perfect day for it. It’s raining. Need I say more? WHAT AM I DOING?

Television pilot week-are you watching?

Do you watch pilot episodes of television shows? I don’t know about you but as for me, this week is one of the best of the year.  I am a “pilot” watcher.

So, just some of the shows I will be watching pilot episodes for this week are:  This is Us
