I think this is it

I don’t really need a two-sided card–and in fact, as an editor I prefer getting 1-sided cards because I can make notes on the back of the cards. I’ve been tweaking with my business card, and I kind of like just going with the iconic feeling. What do you all think of this?   Note that … Read more

What do you think?

(Friends-locked due to not wanting to post my phone number everywhere) For the info side of my card: And two options for the other side: I really like that shot, but I kind of like the second one, which I used a stained glass filter on, because then it’s not so much about those particular … Read more

A picture poll

Thanks for all the advice. If I go with one of the service I’m looking at, I have the option of including an RGB photo and can pull in my own for not all that much money. I’m thinking this might make the card look nice without adding foil or raised type. So, if I … Read more

Heroes!

Writing groups and individual consultations

Just a quick clarification: If you have questions about your specific manuscript while you’re writing it, it’s very helpful to get involved in a writing group. Actually, that’s what I did when I moved to Utah–I joined a writing group of close friends who know books and who I can trust to give open advice … Read more

Comcast has a lot to ‘splain

I’m watching the season debut of Supernatural, right? And right in the last five minutes, the sound goes out on the cable. I have to wait until tomorrow to see the ending? In other news, I’m up to 27,039 words. Not a whole lot of progress compared to the other day, but it’s progress nonetheless!
