Yes, It Is All My Fault!

Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows Of the Closet is now available for pre-order!  I haven’t received my contributor’s copy yet but the proofs looked great, and I’m really excited about this anthology.  You can find it on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0981863205/unspeakableho-20 if you’d like to reserve yours before release!

Steve and I are both sick, sinus-infection thingys that we almost certainly got while traveling.  At least, I’ll blame the airplane way before I’ll blame Israel, nearly everyone over there looked ridiculously healthy.

Anyway, snotty, feverish, achy, hoping it’ll pass soon, since it’s back to work for me regardless.

Still putting up the business posts over at Words Words Words if you aren’t already following along.

We are valiantly fighting the good fight of having the collaborative project eat our brains by allowing at least one hour in every 24 for our personal projects.

Ok, perhaps I hyperbolize a bit here.  Now that I don’t have to worry about two presentations back-to-back, I can get down to the simple life of owning a business, coordinating a massive online project, and writing a novel  and some short stories.  Simplicity incarnate!

There go those hyperboles again.  Time to develop a new plan of action, since the goal is still to have a finished draft of the novel by the calendrical year’s end.  Note that not specifying a GOOD draft done will speed up the process quite a bit, heh.  And I think there are a couple of stories lying around that need cleaning up before being kicked out of the nest…

But right now I think I’ll continue to obsessively reload certain blogs to see if new content appears.  Oh, and super-squee happiness for other-world characters commenting on our household blog!  The cool parts just keep growing!

I’m back from Israel and slowly chronicling the experience over on the household blog, Words Words Words.  We’re now four posts along on the Business Models for Artists series, and we’d love to have more participatory comments! You can check out the latest one here, it links to the previous posts as well.

Check out one piece of what I’ve been working on over the next several days at http://www.dreamcafe.com/words. I’ll be posting a series of entries (one a day) attempting to make dealing with the business end of the spectrum a little less scary for artistic types, as well as encouraging people to explore new ways of earning income.
