CYBER FYBER has a writer



Yesterday I met with Cindy Boiter, a local freelance writer and adjunct faculty member in the Women's Studies department at the University of South Carolina. We discussed CYBER FYBER and its publication needs. Cindy has agreed to fill these needs....so CYBER FYBER HAS A WRITER! Recently, Cindy won the first prize in the WOW! 2008 Winter Flash Fiction contest. She was interviewed here. The story, which is wonderful and short....so READ IT...is here.

ROUND TWO BEGINS TOMORROW

How many people knew that posting over 50 entries within 24 hours causes lots of problems on Blogger? First, there's a "word verification" window with impossible to recognize letters...some of which are capitalized but don't look it. Sometimes, Blogger simply forgets to show the tangle of letters at all but expects you to fill in the blank tab...just try guessing! Blogger was very slow yesterday...and then uploaded a bunch of postcards are verticals despite the fact they aren't. I also can't count. There is no postcard # 228. I have no idea why. I just skipped that number completely....

...but....

ROUND TWO is posted and ready for trading tomorrow! This is for NEW TRADERS ONLY! Please, everyone else....just spread the word! I'm working on another "connected" blog for the INTERNATIONAL RANDOM TRADE. I'll be coming soon. In the meantime, I'm seeking funding but have found a writer and a caterer!

CYBER FYBER needs votes!

As most people reading this probably know, I've been pitching the CYBER FYBER to various groups, creating information packets for business leaders, and seeking funding for the exhibition. The Vista Guild awarded $1000. New Carolina had no money but an opportunity to submit the project into their "idea contest". They are giving away well over $8000 to various South Carolina ideas. Cyber Fyber has made it into the second of three rounds. To advance, votes are needed. Please click here and vote for the LAST IDEA LISTED! Thanks a million!
