Breathing Life into Downtown St Catharines Via Blogging by The Idea Girl

Critelli's furniture has been at 126 King Street since 1914.  A historical place to shop with the finest in wood designs.  Fashion Designers love their product and you get the BEST quality here.

How does a blogger breathe life into the St Catharines Ontario Canada Downtown Shopping Area?  By blogging about it and showing people what they can do.  Not only will I show you things to do, but I'll connect the dots, so you can have a lovely day of visiting a spa, an art gallery, going for a walk, shopping for unique fashions and interior designs to make your home your castle.

Dotted with cafe's , specialty shops and interesting things to do, who wouldn't want to travel to St Catharines and visit?  You can find multi-cultural events at the Market Square where International people sell their wares.

Creating Ten Novels in a Book Trailer - The Munroe Series - Author Linda Randall

I went to authonomy where I have created my book covers and uploaded them with the manuscripts so that people can read and vote for me to get published.  Once I put them into the video, I realize they were blurry and terrible looking.  I wanted the book trailer to be magnifico!

So I changed the photos and added new things to it.



I'm going to have redo this trailer because four of the books are about the same family and the photos are basically the same.


These aren't the REAL book covers, they are fictional one's that I made up using photos from google.  I plan to find some stuff in the future and film it and use it for the book trailers.


I want to go to Place Royale, Montreal and Quebec and put in some video shots of the hills, mountains and St Lawrence Seaway from Mount Royale.


It will really make the video look realistic.

I figure since I'm too lazy to edit the novels and find a Literary Agent.

Okay I sent out 6 letters and got back 6 rejections.


I sent out 1 to montreal and they told me to send my stuff to them.

I sent a few pages in an email but not sure if thats good enough and I haven't had any time to go over the notes and I cannot remember WHERE I sent it.

I had all these files organized on my computer and then it died..
I kind of forgot to BACKUP that information. :)

Live and learn.



The video will be on my youtube channel and on the munroe series blogs, websites and on my writers blog the  idea girl says on wordpress.

Daisy my funny toy poodle stories and family photos by Linda Randall

It's Christmas morning on Dec 25, 2010 and Daisy and I are showing what we got for Christmas from daddy _ harry. :)

Here I am with my sons Jeff and Tim they are 20 and 22 years old.  I'm 44 years old now. :)
Dec 27, 2010

Daisy loves her new comfy mint green doggie bed from Pet Smart.  It was orginally $20 and I got it for $10, not bad eh?
I waited about six months for them to go on sale and didn't like the other colors. I squealed like a pig when I saw they had lime green (mint) as a choice.  I  have that color in my pillows for the couch and in my office containers for the old manuscripts that I started writing in 2008 - The Mansion on the Hill.

One of these days I'll get the manuscripts edited and publish them.  I'd love to put them into a pdf file for kindle readers.  I also want them to be a theatre or tv movie project.  I actually wrote a screenplay for The Munroe Series.  It's called the Virgin Slayer, and it starts in the 15 th Century. :)


This is my sweetheart Harry with Daisy Christmas morning Dec 25, 2010.  I met Harry at a high school around 16 years ago.  I was taking an adult computer class, he was taking a cooking class.  He was my first WAITER at the school.  I told him to give my compliments to the chef.  He babbled something incoherent.

When I walked in with my high heels, and dress they nick named me Miss America because they said I looked like a model. LOL
Harry was holding a pan of dirty dishes.  He dropped it when he saw me and told his buddy that he was in love with me and wanted to marry me someday.
Needless to say he was quite disappointed to find out I was married at the time.  Years later, both of us were single and our long time friend Paul played matchmaker.  Here we are 4 years later...

Harry, Daisy and I at our Christmas Party on Sat Dec 18, 2010.  Our first official family picture.  It took us four years to think about taking one. LOL

Liz McCallum - Tina Veer - Big Beautiful Wellness - Plus Size Women Wanted

Tina Veer, Liz McCallum - BBW Goddesses

Linda Randall
White Fur & Jewels - The DIVA GODDESS
the idea girl says
doing the tv taping today was one of the pinnacle moments of my life.  Even if I wasn't being interviewed (future plans are in the works for that) I got to see how nerve wracking it is to be on television.

A whole camera crew, the producer - Joann and a truck recording Liz McCallum's one hour tv special.
It will be airing sometime in January on Channel 10 for Cogeco.
It would be really cool if some other networks would pick it up and use it too.

I know Ophrah Winfrey would be delighted with Liz and her story.

I told Liz she needs to write a book and then we will send it to Ophrah for her to read. :)

Short Story Writing is easier then doing a novel by Linda Randall

It was fun today taking the time to write a short story.
It's 218 am now, kind of sleepy.
I've been posting  music videos all night for writers typing tunes.
January is coming up and we all start rewriting our NaNoWriMo novels.

I will be joining the rest of them.
I need to make a 1200 word count short story for Grammy's Magic Cottage then enter it into a Children's Short Story Contest.
From what I've seen most authors, they win a few short story contests first.
Get some published clips, then Literary Agents are more interested in them.

Next on my authors platform - agenda. ;)

Starting a new company called IGC Entertainment Canada - Youtube

So far I've created 2 blogs and 1 youtube account for my new media, music, entertainment company called IGC Entertainment Canada.
http://www.youtube.com/user/IGCentertainmentca
i will be creating videos this week and uploading them soon!

As you know Idea Girl Consulting is more about business, writing and novels.  So I wanted to start an entertainment company.
the jokes on me though, I just called Cogeco and I CANNOT get the higher speed package for $64/month which would give me more than 125 gig uploads.

I have 30 gig now and I am always cutting it close.

Since I plan to do a web tv show next year I need more upload privileges.
I can get PRO but it's $30 more per month.

Sucks to be me.... LOL
