I just got my new business cards. The image you see here is the front. It’s the second time I’ve used the earth-from-space image. The first time I tried it, I couldn’t find anything that really seemed to say writing with vision to me so I decided I wanted to remind people we live on […]
A friend, one who loves me enough to tell me the whole truth, asked me if I might be a workaholic.
I don’t know… or maybe I do. According to the Workaholics Anonymous website, the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop working compulsively. That doesn’t help a whole lot at the moment, but […]
I just got off the phone with AT&T. They provide my telephone service and DSL line. Their customer service, well, sucks, and it sucks not because of the customer service reps, but because of the procedures they are forced to go through. So along with ranting and raving, I wrote the following now open letter:

Thanks to Brian Clark at Copyblogger.com for this wonderful post, complete with lovely and amusing quotes, from George Carlin called, you guessed it, George Carlin on Writing.
It’s hard to know exaclty how wide spread his influence was, but I have a hunch he was rolling in his grave this morning when I heard Rush Limbaugh […]
A press release wandered in yesterday titled: Australian Book Printer Challenges Amazon.com’s Booksurge for Market Dominance
Although I don’t see anything in the press release that leads me to believe Booktasia is really different than Amazon’s BookSurge, it’s interesting that they at least allude to some of the problems some self-publishers have had with BookSurge, most […]
Laura Spencer, who blogs at Business and Blogging, participated in b5media’s blogathon by posting a post every hour for 24 hours. That’s a whole bunch of posting any way you slice it.
She’s now written a blog entry called: How To Write A Lot Of Posts Quickly
Her tips 1, 2 and 4 would work in any […]
The blog, Amazon BookSurge Antitrust Lawsuit Clearinghouse, run by Angela Hoy who has filed suit against Amazon over it’s policies regarding self-published authors, has a post called: Amazon Showing Its Power in the UK; Stephen King affected
It points to an article in The New York Times that gives a startling overview of Amazon’s policies in […]
Tracy Cooper-Posey, a fiction writer who blogs at Anchored Authors (anchored, as in anchored to a day job), has an excellent post called: Publishing terms, POD and the Amazon “Thing”
She gives short, pithy and accurate definitions of the various publishing stratgies at least theoretically available to book writers. I say “theoretically” because it’s so darn […]
My printer has finally given up the ghost. It’s an HP PhotoSmart 2410 and I got it free because I became a beta tester for them. That was over five years ago, maybe more than six. I remember when they came to set up the test unit, and how I had to go to a […]
It’s Thursday and that means it’s open comment night right here at The Golden Pencil.
It’s simple, right around 6 o’clock in the evening - and that’s Pacific Time - I’ll post a post titled something like “Open Comments Starts Now.”
I might propose a topic or wait for someone to ask a question. It’s a […]
