Please buy my pet rock

I have listed my pet rock on eBay , I need to sell it , could you please buy my pet rock . It is a wonderful little rock , black and white . it seems to have little crystals on it. If you are looking for a good friend , that is quiet and does not eat much . never gets sick , cannot die and will last way longer than the human body you inhabit, considered my rock as a possible friend. If you buy my pet rock , please keep it in a sunny place with a good view outside , and it is a bit of a loaner. so please don't place it with other rocks or various stones or gems . it does not get along well with others. It has not said that , but I seem to get that feeling from it when it is near others.

I finally got published

I recently submitted a short story, with eight pictures to an online magazine that also publishes a paper version for subscribers.  I was chose out of many submissions for their publication, and even got the cover story with color pictures. It is so nice to be recognized for my picture taking and storytelling. Although it is only a couple paragraphs long.  I have been in the newspaper many times, but never with my own words, the stories were always words from a reporter. I want to submit more pictures and stories, as soon as I have something that is worth submitting. This is an arduous process, due to the high expectations I have of myself. You can find my story online at (yourhub.com)( Longmont edition )if you read it.  Please come back here and respond by posting the comment I would love to hear what you have to say
