Most of you know Strip Tease, my previous blog. After finishing seven volumes (or 84 strip teases!) I decided to print a short selection of my favorites in the form of a 12-page booklet. It was a free-of-charge premium for all my loyal readers.
Honest encouragement and feedback are always beneficial, even an impersonal “like” in facebook. George, my life coach, always pushed me to keep writing to fight depression. And I cherish when readers add their own “stripping” to my stories. Luckily some even correct my grammar, for which I’m always grateful.
Perhaps because I was rushing or I didn’t have another pair of eyes, I failed to check the final files for the above mentioned booklet cover. When I received the shipment, the real cover was swapped with the inside cover! It looked awful! Solution? Reprinting it at my own cost (the printer was not held accountable). Or dumping the whole thing in the shredder and disappoint my audience. I chose a third option: to unstaple the lot, reverse the cover to look right, and insert a small piece of paper, an addendum that read: NO STAPLES?!? This booklet has been left intentionally unstapled to entice you to cut out the strips after reading the stories.
I love happy accidents!
