I like to think Randy would cringe with pride
On Tuesday, August 26, my actual, non-Frema name was released in hardcover for the first time. Simultaneously, my pre-pubescent ode to Randy Wooten was immortalized forever.
Sarah Brown's literary masterpiece is now available to the masses, and the list of contributors is pretty effing cool. I'm supposed to receive a free copy in the mail, but I'm tempted to run out and buy one for everybody I know. Including dear Randy Wooten, because that's just good manners.
Anyway, even though the poem is terrible, even though 'lil Frema will never realize the consequences of putting her tragedy to paper, EVEN THOUGH I WAS TEN FREAKING YEARS OLD, I am insanely proud that my writing is a part of this book. The widget will be available in my sidebar for a bit, even though it clutters my template and I would much rather feature a smaller version of the cover picture and include the link that way. Just like my Parents widget. Except that I didn't actually create my Parents widget. Anyone care to help a sister out?
So, um, buy my book! And if you see Randy, tell him I said hi.
This is wonderfully awesome.

Published in a book. Cool. However, YOU are publishing all the time in several different modes ... for your company's business and and your blogs. The best on the book sales. I will buy several books as presents for family members. However,that will not make the book reach the best sellers list.

I am proud that your writing is a part of this book too. But, we are proud of your many other accomplishments as well.

Hey! Another Cringe contributor here, and I'm slowly making my way round the blogs to say Hi and connect bad poems to good blogs (kidding). I wasn't crazy about the widget either so I just saved the pic off Amazon and added a link from the pic to the book through my blogger template. Don't know if you could do the same, but it's a suggestion as it looks better and cleaner and I am also a design control freak. Check it out on mine if you want. Hope to see you at the party?

WOW! Congratulations. Reading this has definately taken "surfin the net" to another level. I'm very happy for you. There was never a doubt in my mind that good things would come your way. Just glad I could help. Tell the family I said hi.
Your old friend, Randy

Very proud of you, Frema. That's just too cool. My cheeks are red just thinking about the entries I could submit to that book!
