I’ve been struggling as of late. The writing is not happening as often as I want and I always seem to be playing catch-up for other things too. It has been a difficult slog. I now know how a salmon feels. Today changed that in a number of ways. First, my Cub Pack held its first meeting of the year back in our regular meeting place. Every year we lose the school we meet in for the month of January. The leadership (including me) has to find alternate activities and meeting places and so on. It is difficult and not all that much fun. Tonight, back in our normal digs with the program back on track everything was awesome. The […]

Some Interesting links – January 29, 2011
I have the great privilege of following a lot of very creative, smart people on Twitter. Those people often have very good advice and blog posts on a regular basis and it (finally) occurred to me that I should be sharing their wisdom.

GalaxyBillies (which releases January 26, 2010 on Podiobooks.com) – needs to be revised and laid out for submission. I haven’t quite decided how to go forward with the book. Should I use it for an agent hunt or send it directly to publishers? I’m still thinking that through. There are a number of factors I’m working through, not the least of which is […]

We are coming up on episode 50 and I was planning on having a special interview with Robin Sullivan. Some of you may remember Robin from episode 38. Robin is the publisher for Ridan Publishing. When I first talked to Robin I knew she had a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. It wasn’t until I chatted with her via IM that I learned of her interest in self-publishing. As I said, I had planned on interviewing her about the topic of self-publishing and how it has changed for episode 50. Except, once she started talking I realized that there was much more information than a single show could hold. So I broke up the interview into two parts. […]
