Onward we go. We loovvveee books. We love holding them and smelling them and buying first editions, especially signed ones. We love sharing great books with others. We love match making books to readers. We love that people want to know what we’re reading. We love editors. We love publishers. We have a deep and true commitment to the business of words. It is our hope that we will be active participants in the publishing world. It is our dream to have the opportunity to dip our oars into these omnifarious waters with open hearts and minds.

T e f f a n i e !

I love all your posts. You are an A M A Z I N G creator! Look at all the magic you are bringing to this site! I love it! I love it!! More, please. Always more.

Why p i c t u r e - l e s s? I mean why not have images and photos and illustrations? Easy. We believe in you. We believe by not exposing you to what we think, you will decide. You will let your imagination soar and create whatever image is most beautiful to you. We also tend to wonder if we all aren't a wee overstimulated by images. Maybe, just maybe, the words we offer will soothe when you need soothing, inspire you when you inspiring, jolt you when you need jolting, love you when you need loving, ease you when you need easing and create you when you need creating.

Dream Big!

Desire. At p i c t u r e l e s s, we dive into our dreams. Could a word, just one word, change a day? Bring a little lift to the dreary? We don’t doubt that discovering delightful d words is a pretty darn quick way to fulfilling our greatest desire: bringing delectable dancing deep within our reader’s hearts and minds.

Blog Filled with Yumminess

This weekend I plan to s l e e p, r e s t, l o v e, and surf the net for blogs filled with yummy words.  Click on blog titles to link to my fabulous findings.  First up, easie peasie!  Have a fun f r i d a y.

How does a word become p i c t u r e l e s s?

Millions, no, billions of words apply to become pictureless, but few are chosen.  
 
The process is quite intricate and I will share a small part the rest is top secret.  
 
A topic from the master Excel spreadsheet is chosen.  About a week, month, or year of personal deliberation occurs.  When a coinciding vibrational moment happens, Adrea and I meet online, onemail, ontext, onphone then in about ten seconds the list is complete.  
 
Adrea begins the delicate design process.  
 
I begin the testing phase.  People from 0-100 become the world word testers.  I rate their responses from 0-10.  I randomly throw test words into sentences, post them on facebook, allow people to read the manuscript.  pictureless book books have manuscripts!  
 
Sometimes the words don't meet the challenge.  I call Fabulous Adrea.  "Have you gotten to 'b' yet? I'm not really feeling the response from the ten year old market testers.  What about..."  
 
We blurt out words in a swirling moment of synchronicity speaking in words when the same word sparkles out at the same time.  Voila!  Exchange.  Now to test that word.  
 
If a 18 year old pregnant woman comes banging on your office door saying, "Hey, Lady, where are the words?  I need to read them to Xavier (the unborn, now born child)."  
 
Bingo!  We have magic.  After magic appears the not so test readers are invited.  The critique partners, the editors, the significant others - pictureless book books are edited!
 
Next step- publishing.
 
If you have any words that are interested, tell them to apply on FB at the pictureless book page.  
 
We are looking for words.  Words that tickle your insides, free your mind,  touch your dreams, elevate your vibration, demand peace, create brain combustion, make you LOL, and LIL, churn your soul, that cause a pitter patter, toe tapping dragonfly imagine more effect.
 
Special consideration given to 'x's and 'y's.

Fabulous Month o' Pink

It's all pink again!


Last October, I don't remember.  


This year, each ribbon follows me and leaves pink traces behind my eyelids.  This year- the year of biopsies, the year of lumpectomy, the year my mother had a mastectomy.  
 
Adrea is in the habit of sending by post (that in itself is fabulous).  Sometimes the treats from my partner breathe through their packaging, forcing my children to rattle the contents.  That time they were pictureless word cards.  Each card presented one of the words we claim on post sized cards, business sized cards, or itty bitty cards.  They were gorgeous.  I traveled with them half across the state to share with my mother during the post chemo / pre surgery / pre radiation hospital moments. 
 
Mom twisted them around and palmed them.  I saw fear vanishing from her.  When the anesthesiologist entered, he began to share the process.  First, we will do this, then that, the important thing is to clear your mind.  
 
"We have words for that, Mom, from the 'nothing' series."
 
The doctor was intrigued.  I shared p i c t u r e l e s s with him- Clear Clouds, Memory Music, Invisible Icicles.  He deemed them appropriate and darling.  He modified my mother's instructions to a p i c t u r e l e s s place.  
 
In a childlike voice my mother asked for surgical tape.  When he returned she began praying and taping positive word cards on her body.  Then, my fear vanished.  This is l i f e and life is b e a u t i f u l.  
 
Each hospital employee, visitor, and friend that witnessed that moment became instantly radiant.  The words connected us, protected us, and let us breathe through those moments one moment at a time.


It's all pink again!

"A powerful agent is the right word whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words...the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual and electrically prompt." -Mark Twain

We want you to feel better right now!

When I began collecting words in my classrooms, the results on the morale of my at risk students were positively phenomenal. One parent reported that they saved her child's life during a spell he served in solitary confinement. He recited the words he learned from class repeatedly until his spirits lifted. When my students graduated, I had them tell me their favorite positive word. I was always emotionally moved, and my word was and is always fabulous.

We began to use positive words at bedtime at home. I wrote each word down in the positive words journal. The collection grew. Once, I wanted to sleep in the car on the beach to ensure a perfect sun rising experience, before sleeping my son reminded us to play the 'good word game'. He was last to say his word and it was 'hotel'. He was three.

Whilst revising the manuscripts for this round of edits, my current students would critique each page. One student started reading the pages to the baby in her womb. Another said that she wished something like this was available when she were younger.


I then met a n g e l life coach, Lisa Lawrence, and collaborated with a n g e l partner, Adrea L. Peters. Adrea is a m a z i n g.


We envision the pages everywhere... in the classrooms, on the smartboards, on t-shirts, on greeting cards, on phones, on computer screens, randomly accessible to everyone. We believe this word revolution can change our world, right now!

Digital mediums will be our current method to blast these words into the world. Each series has been lovingly crafted in a different format. The pages are p i c t u r e less. We give these words to you. Each word is yours to do with what you choose.

"People with an impoverished vocabulary live an impoverished emotional life. People with rich vocabularies have a multihued palette of colors with which to paint their experience, not only for others, but for themselves as well." - Anthony Robbins

I love you!

B is for B a h a m a s

Teff, my darling!!!

C is for Canvas is in the TOP TEN on AMAZON! Click the link to see! WOW!

I'm soon off to a beach with my Kindle and my q u i e t mind. While there I will be at work on Cave of Souls and I'd like my mind to ponder words for the next seven p i c t u r e l e s s books . . .

Can we c o m m i t to what's next?

What I t h i n k we t h i n k . . .

I is for Imagination (three power positives)
N is for Nothing (all zero/blank/nothing words)
N isn't for Zig Zag (I made that up... but I think you know which book I mean)
E is for Evolution (biology words) or E is for Equation (math words)
A is for Adore (another in the beautiful a n g e l series!)
C is for Curtsy (dance words!)
W is for Wellness (New series start!)

I am, as always, incorrigibly o p e n to whatever moves you!

Isn't this the F U NNEST thing ever?

A M A Z I N G!

I'm good. Have a fabulous day!
