Hello Again!

1 min read
Its been many years since I posted or logged into my DA account. I feel it is time to come back. I may clean out old entries and dead links. Lots have changed since I left DA for my extended break.

• I got married
• I've moved several times
• I just haven't had time to devote to my art.

I am a cosplayer. I think I invented Trouble Mayking™ just before I left. I am an fanatic about essential oils and you can learn more at www.facebook.com/thecolorbelt. I post generally to Instagram, but now with the advancement of technology I think it might be easy to post to DA from my mobile phone.

So more to come. I look forward to sharing again.

Welcome to the DeviantArt Portfolio of self-published author Mary E. Gober.
:blackrose:Enter My Journal:blackrose:


I find it amusing that when you click over to Photography/Macro/Human browse.deviantart.com/photogra…
The first and most popular body part to photograph is the Eye. So much so, that the need to rename the catagory to Eye.
Examples:
Blue by ShieldedWords She can see you. by EkaEmma dark-eye by Coffeine
GRN-Y by estellamestella The Eye by valelectronik:thumb44332138:
I am intrigued because I like eyes, I think most humans are fascinated with eyes... I know I am (see my novel for how much I am fascinated by them, and that is all I am going to say on that {see icon}). I am not even surprised that there is a club for it... Eyes-of-infinity possibly several clubs. Sometimes when I scroll someone's DA front page I find the Friends area amusing because of how many icons have eyes staring back at me... blinking, winking, and looking. This is mine, and some other EYEcons I have found:

So what is it with our obsession with the ocular organ? I have a few ideas on the subject, one is very simple: we as artists are obsessed with the part of ourselves which is the window to what we love. It is our eyes that bring us visual art and it is our eyes that tell our minds that we like it. It is in effect love at first sight, so therefore we love our eyes because they are our tool.

I am personally obsessed with eyes, because mine are so complicated and dysfunctional at times. Look up the term Adie's Pupil or Tonic Pupil and learn what I have. It isn't fun. So let's hear it, lets discuss our obsession with eyes, and why you think it is so. If you are blind, how do you feel about it? And if so, how are you able to experience this site?

Yes, if you haven't figured it out by now, I wrote a book. So far people seem to like it and that is great news. I love all the feedback I have gotten from it thus far. Now there is a way for you to order the 6x9" Paperback for less then you would pay on Lulu.com or Amazon.com; order through me! I order it for you and ship it directly to you!

These copies are not signed, the only difference between ordering from Amazon or Lulu, is you are ordering it through me and saving on the hideous distribution costs.
* Order an unsigned copy for just $13.99 + Shipping.
* Order a signed copy for as low as $39.99 (shipping is already built into the price!)
* As always you can order it on Lulu.com or Amazon.com

Let me know if you ever have any questions. You can also download an ebook for as little as $1.99! Thanks

Vlogger No. 1 by missmarypotter
As promised fellow Smallvillians, I would tell you if I got the Vlog spot. I did and it is up for all to see. Laugh, cry, mock, or whatever. It has been a trip and I get 3 more.
cwtv.com/thecw/sprint

To be honest to put together something in two days, with no real direction, while sick and doped up on cold meds... it's fairly decent. Okay I am going to go hide now. Enjoy.

P.S. A little 411, Smallville had a contest for a Vlogger position. I am the second pick, and I get to do 4 video Vlogs about the show. :superman:

I really enjoyed the new fave collections feature. I took advantage of it last night and finally was able to show why I fave things. I want to say 60% of the time I fave things because they remind me of things in my book. The other 40% is because well, I like it. But in regards to that 60%, here's what I did. I made a couple of collections with my own interpretation above the link:
People of Thera by missmarypotter
These Make Me Think of My Novel
Jupiter Deo, Goddess of Wade by missmarypotter
Drops of Jupiter Deo
Mercury Brightman TFS by missmarypotter
A Face Like Mercury
Queen of Thera by missmarypotter
Like Persephica
Damara and Marcus, reposted by missmarypotter
Faces Like Damara Brightman (BTW, Damara had blue eyes, but I have faved many with brown ones, because the face reminds me of her. She was Mercury's mother.


I hope to do some more, but perhaps it can give people who have read my novel some insight as to what I see when I look at a piece of art and how it relates to the most important thing in my life, my novel.
So take a look, it's in a book, it's quite literally a reading rainbow.

Welcome to the DeviantArt Portfolio of self-published author Mary E. Gober.
:blackrose:Enter My Journal:blackrose:


Alas, for those of you how have gotten my novel this year, you're in luck... because it will likely become a collector's edition. Here's why:

Since I haven't gotten a Literary Agent yet or a book deal (but I am still shopping), looks like I am going to have to edit The First Sign myself. I have been kind of holding off for some time hoping and praying that I wouldn't have too, because I would have obtained a literary agent and a professional editor by now. Granted I have been busy with book 2, life and stuff to hit the laborious chore of writing more agents and so not much has happened.

So what does this mean? It means that I am going to go over the book again for the 100th time and comb out the flaws that made it to print last year. When I am done, I am going to upload the 2nd edition in LULU, pay for the ISBN again so the changes can be applied and return to working on Book 2. So in a week, Book 2 goes on hiatus--that or I will be working on them at the same time. The content and story will not change, but some of the wording might in places. In the end I hope that the second edition will be close to perfect. I hope to have it to you all before I am 30. I will let everyone know the definitive Second Edition uploading date, when I am closer to it. That way from now until then you all can get the last copies of the first editions while they exist--flawed and filled with potential.

Thanks all. And please, don't tell me where the errors are or what they are... nothing is more annoying then that--I prefer to find them on my own. I prefer personal flogging then stones being thrown... which is what it feels like when people tell me about the errors. Honesty is the best policy, sorry if that is so frank. Okay, so thank you to all who have helped me and told me about the errors, this is not an attack, but a thank you for your input... now I must go face the literature and fix it on my own.
-Mary
