Chicken Soup for the ME/NA VJer's Soul

Ok, I created a blogger account for our project. I'm still writing the intro post and as Julianna suggested, it will be by invite only (please PM me with your email address, I promise I won't share the emails with anyone). Keep discussing! I'm way ahead of myself and already thinking layout...but that's because I used to layout newspaper pages sooooo

Just wanted to say I absolutely ADORE Wall Lam!! I'm in Connecticut, and he used to teach at UCONN when my brother was there, and all I wanted was a signed copy of "She's Come Undone" for Christmas, and my poor little brother ended up practically STALKING the guy to get it for me... which he never was able to do

You are totally NOT going to like this...my mom had Wally Lamb as her teacher when she was in high school (around 1976-1977) at NFA. We found a whole bunch of papers of hers that he graded when we were cleaning the house this summer!

Whereabouts in CT are you? Are you familiar with Norwich at all? Reading "I know this much is true" is such a TRIP when you're reading the book and know exactly what he's talking about even though he does switch up the names of the roads & towns a bit. It's so easy to figure it out. He's got eastern CT nailed.

I think the book is a great idea although I don't feel like i have much to contribute to it. my life just isn't that interesting. I'm sure it will be a great success!!!

I have met quite a few women here in miami who have brought spouses over, who's spouse brought them over, or married an imigrant and had to go through this process. Somehow they all ended up at the same Masjid

Would it be possible if one or two of them would like to contribute? I haven't said anything, but was wondering. Most people I have met there are married to an imigrant from MENA and several have done either K-1 or CR-1 visas in the past 2-3 years.

I considered a PM to Sparrow, but I figure that since it's a VJ thing, all involved should have a say

I'll consider it if I can get a retainer.

Wow I see all the PMs and this is really great! I will get those invites out to you ASAP but I still don't have that intro post written I was out last night till 5AM so when I got home I crawled in bed and crashed.

I was wondering legally how this would work. I was thinking we could discuss here or on blogger or ????? How do the other compilations do it and what would everyone be comfortable with, or should we just get it written first?

You could self publish and all the proceeds go to Heathers baby ( there wont be that much in the way of proceeds even if everyone on the board buys one. I can show you how. I suggest you self publish..
