About GoodGoshAlmighty
GoodGoshAlmighty.com came online in 2004 to give amateur writers, especially those using
then-new print-on-demand book publishing, a means of exposing their writing to a
wider audience. In the next few months, we published dozens and dozens of
excellent pieces--prose and poetry, fiction and nonfiction--from diverse writers
from all over the world. It was very gratifying, but not at all profitable, and
far more time-consuming than expected. You can see the whole shebang by
clicking the Archives button below, and we'll be rerunning some on the front
page as we go along.
Happily, many other sites have come along in the
meantime that cater to the amateur writer and have more than taken up our
slack. Now we'll still publish something new and original now and then, but our
focus is more on providing a small smorgasbord of creativity from various genres periodically, some timely, some timeless.
We'd be happy to hear how you think we're doing. Use the Contact
link at the bottom of the page for constructive criticism, suggested writings,
complaints, or however you think your two cents worth might be useful to us.
However, we won't be offering online comments because it is too hard to monitor
and there's just too darn much pointless vitriol floating around out there.
You
may submit original work through the Contact email if you wish. Please be
forewarned, and excuse us, if your submission is not always acknowledged. We
receive far more than we can publish, and this is a sideline, informal
enterprise, so our time to work on it is limited.
(Hint: The longer your submission is, the less chance
it has of serious consideration. 3,000 words is about the optimum on the long side.
Please send it as an attachment in a common program, preferably Word. If we
elect to publish your submission, we'll send you a ten
dollar bill. But don't hold your breath. Nowadays we don't publish new writing
very often, and frankly, our decision-making process is pretty fickle and
arbitrary!)
Most of you surfers, though, will just want to check
in to see if we've got something interesting on the front page. I hope you find
that we always do. Thank you for stopping by, and come back soon.
Oh, and to paraphrase the immortal Hubert Davis of
the Season Travelers, "If you like our site, tell your friends about it. If you
don't, just keep it to yourself and everything will be all right."
