Book(s) Update

Well, as I mentioned on Friday, proof copies of my two books The Kind-Hearted Smartass - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (Uncensored Version) and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (Censored Version) should arrive here between Wednesday and Saturday, I'm guessing. So, as long as I'm satisfied with the quality of the products, they should become available for purchase by early next week.

My proofreader was able to read through the third book I'll be releasing this year, entitled, LOL at the GOP - Volume 4: Guns, Jesus, Corporations, and Fetuses. I've fixed the errors she discovered and will be working on the book's cover today. I already have an idea in mind for it, so hopefully it won't take me too terribly long, and this book could potentially become available in as early as a week and a half to two weeks.

I've yet to hear if my proofreader has read much of my fourth upcoming book - LOL at the GOP - Volume 5: You Can't Spell "Forgot To Take Their Crazy Pills" Without "Tea Party." I'm having trouble coming up with a cover idea for this book, but will come up with something one of these days.

I'm still undecided whether to release the two LOL at the GOP books together or separate. I suppose that may partially depend on how soon I can get the first two books out, how quickly I can complete the cover for the third book, and how quickly my proofreader can finish reading the fourth.

Well, that's all I have to share for the time being. I typically update readers on these matters on Mondays, but have a feeling I'll be updating you sooner than that, due to everything that's bound to happen in the coming week. Stay tuned...

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
