RISKING

To laugh is to risk ... appearing a fool.

To weep is to risk ... appearing sentimental.

To reach out for another is to risk ... involvement.

To expose feelings is to risk ... rejection.

To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ... ridicule.

To love is to risk ... being loved in return.

To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk ... failure.

*****
But, risks must be taken, because the greatest risk of all is to risk nothing.

Those who risk nothing ... do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.

They may temporarily avoid suffering and sorrow, but

They cannot feel, learn, change, grow, live, or love.

Chained by their certitudes, they become slaves ...

Forfeiting their freedom.

Only the person who risks is free.

i found out about this site from Stephanie Gross, a librarian I met at a convention.
I was the only writer. And I just found out about www.booktour.com from Mark David Gerson. You can list all of your upcoming events and they will post any book you have if it is available on Amazon...because the site belongs to Amazon. Check it out.
AND dont forget to register with www,Jacketflap.com That is a registry for writers, illustrators, agents, librarians, etc. and is also owned by Amazon who will give you a profile page and post any book you have if it is available on Amazon
I will let you know of any other sites I hear about.
