Free Story -- The Way the Cookie Crumbles

 WMG Publishing is doing a Holiday Spectacular again this year, where they e-mail subscribers a free holiday story every day from Thanksgiving through New Year. My story is up today, and I'm offering it as a free read on my reader blog for one week.

You can still subscribe to the Holiday Spectacular, and they'll send you all the stories that've gone out so far. There's a lot of great stuff coming through -- highly recommended!

The Way the Cookie Crumbles will be up until the 29th, so check it out soon, and enjoy!

You really need to publish that one with the cookie recipe next Christmas!

Suzan -- thanks! It's definitely on the list. :)

PS: OMG the formatting! [headdesk] Pasting the story in, then the recipe... I had to go in and add paragraph tags for every blank line. o_O I really want to start blogging more in the new year, but jeez, Blogger is making it incredibly unattractive. :(

Yeah, in trying to make it easier, Google made it a total PITA. But some practice does help, and you can always go into HTML mode if their self-editing gets too annoying.

It seems to be the worst when I'm copy/pasting stuff in, whether it's stuff I wrote in Word (with all the extraneous crap turned off, which I've been doing for stuff I plan to post, and a lot of stuff I don't currently plan to post, since at least the ohs, and maybe the nineties), or stuff I'm copying from some other web page. Which is why I'm not hosting the anthology listing here anymore. [mutter]

I'll definitely keep trying for a while. I might just have to filter what I post. If I sit down and write a few paragraphs here in the composer, it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. Adding paragraph tags to a short post I wrote right here is a small aggravation rather than a major one. Anything beyond that, I'll probably just figure is too much hassle. :/

Is it just me, or do techies often seem to make changes to an existing product just to make changes, and end up screwing it up? At least half the time -- and I'm being generous -- "updates" to things I already use leave me cussing.
