Talking with the Publisher

Well, first things first: I added a video to my Kickstarter page!  The video is definitely less than professional, but it gives some extra details. As for the publishing process: today I spoke with the publisher!  I told my sister that it makes me feel important.  Ha!  The consultant I spoke to asked me some questions about my intentions with the book and made recommendations based on what I told him. I have to say, I’m really starting to feel like I need to get a move on.  I guess I’m just a little afraid that I’ll start this thing and not…

My Intro to Publishing

I have to say that things seem to be working out pretty well in support of this book.  Thanks to my first two backers; I’m so excited to be jumping into this project with both feet with support from my friends and family!

Blogs You Must Follow

So...I was actually going to post about Black History Month, which begins today.  But as I was doing some research, I realized that what I really wanted to do was going to be a bit more involved than what I had planned on.  So I had to come up with something else. Waaay back when I was in high school, I had a blog on Digital Expressions, where I was one of the top bloggers.  Of course, back then, I was just writing to write, I had more time, and I'm pretty sure "blogging" wasn't even a term yet.
