Roadblock…

I’ve hit a small roadblock on Wicked 4. It has taken me four days to finally figure out ‘what’ that roadblock is. I knew when the writing just… stopped, that I’d done something wrong. Well, that and staring at the blinking curser on word for days. I rushed the story and apparently my characters didn’t like it. They refused to play so I’ve back up over 20 pages and took a different road. We’ll see how it goes when Mick gets ‘his’ way for a change. All material &copy2005-2012 to Lily Graison

A Bit of Fun…

Watching the local news broadcast tonight, they did a segment on outdated laws here in North Carolina and I couldn’t leave it at that! I looked them up online and found tons of old laws still on the books for every state. I spent an hour going through them all and thought I’d share a few with you. Outdated Laws in North Carolina:– It’s against the law to sing off key.– Elephants may not be used to plow cotton fields.– While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled.– If a man and a woman who aren’t married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married. In South Carolina:– By law, if a man promises to marry an unmarried woman, the marriage must take place.– No work may be done on Sunday.– An exception to the above law is that light bulbs may be sold.– Horses may not be kept in bathtubs.– It is perfectly legal to beat your wife on the courthouse steps on Sundays. In Tennessee:– You can’t shoot any game other that whales from a moving automobile.– It is legal to gather and consume road-kill.– Illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.(In Memphis only) In Texas:– It is illegal to milk another person’s cow.– The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.– Obnoxious odors may not be emitted while in an elevator. In California:– Women may not drive in a house coat.– You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two … Keep Reading!

eBook Piracy

I was just looking at my websites stats and was surprised to see how many people have been googling me. Its not that I was googled that caused the shock, its what the key words were: lily graison stories for free…wicked series free…tempt me not free…the list goes on. I find it odd that people would want something that costs so little for free. The Wicked series books cost $2.99 each. That’s less than what it costs you to eat lunch at McDonalds. The long-standing debate of eBook piracy will likely never come to an end and I, like many authors, have no solution for the problem. I’m sure I don’t need to explain what I’m talking about but in case someone out there doesn’t know, I’ll spell it out for you. If you take an ebook, one you’ve purchased or received from a friend, and redistribute that book to another person through email, files sharing systems/website or make printed copies to hand out, you have violated copyright laws. EBooks don’t hold the same rights as a print book you’ve purchased does. It’s not a tangible thing so, in essence, you don’t own it. You aren’t allowed to give it away or let a friend borrow it. The best way I can think of to explain it is like this: When you buy a paperback book, read it and loved it, you can share it with a friend. You hand them the ONE book you have in your hand and send it on its way. When you buy an eBook and pass it along to that same friend, you’ve sent them one COPY because you still have the original copy you bought…then your friend sends it to her friend, so there’s another copy because you and your friend still have … Keep Reading!
