About Me

Me, Myself, and I
I am a writer and a teacher. I believe our world is too specialized so I am trying to stay creative by writing in many different genres. My novel came out in December--A Sensible Match (Inspirational Regency, Vintage Romance Publishing) and my play was just released by Contemporary Drama Service for 2008. I have written Christian curriculum for Group Publishing and even tried working for a newspaper. Please check out my website at www.terylcartwright.com
and the myspace page "Teryl C-Author" to get a more complete picture of me.

Stuck in the 80s--and I can't get out. Any suggestions???

  • How to Have a Bestselling Book

    How to have a bestselling book:
    1. Be a celebrity
    2. Be endorsed by a celebrity
    3. Have a movie made of your book by a celebrity
    So how do you become a celebrity?
    1. Be on a reality show or really stupid video
    2. Be endorsed by a celebrity
    3. Write a bestselling book
    But how do you get endorsed by a celebrity?

    2. Be totally unique and original
    3. Be a supporter of their favorite cause
    Well then, how do you have a movie made of your book by a celebrity?
    1. Be related to someone who can help you
    2. Rewrite and rehash someone else’s unique and original material

  • With Apologies to Seuss

    Oh the timewasters you'll see if only you'll look,
    Myspace to be Linkedin to the Face in a Book.
    Twittering tweets, Youtube and ipod itunes,
    Hulu, IM, Txting, Bebo, Tivo and Zunes.
    .

    Oh the timewasters you'll use with great wonder and glee,
    No need for plane travel, just plain electricity.
    Wi Fi, RPG, Flickr, email, ebay's un-store,
    Webisode overload, morph, Moodle, Skype hype and more.

    Oh the timewasters you'll try and find and do.
    Celebrity chats, Google, kudos, Yahoo.
    Podcast broadcasts, Wikipedia, T9--
    Captcha imagination, networking's mined.


    Oh the timewasters you'll pick for every occasion
    Blogs and ezines, can you Kindle the elation?
    With all the sense spent on such cents-less play
    Why not buy my book and go tech free for a day?

    Get away from the fray--
    A Sensible Match by Teryl Cartwright
