To Blog or Not to Blog
Monday, January 28th, 2008I haven’t been here for a while, mostly because I decided to set up a blog on my own web server rather than using the blogger site. Then I looked at different free blogging software and although they are all great, there’s some work involved with setup and maintenance. So, I decided to just keep this one.
Quick updates:
- The Chad Little article was well received by the magazine editor. She asked me to do another profile on someone I had pitched to her a while back. The new article is almost written and the Chad Little profile will be in print next month.
- I’ve applied to graduate school at EWU’s MFA program in literary non-fiction. Don’t know yet if I got in, but do know that work finally agreed to give me 50% unpaid leave for next year. I didn’t think I could participate in a writing intensive MFA program and work full time.
- I joined Enchanting Reviews as a staff member and is having a blast reading and reviewing books. It isn’t paid, but I get free books. Let me repeat FREE BOOKS. What can be better than that?
- Larry Hippler emailed me to say he’d been on the site and was happy to see I’d mentioned his book. I met him at the PNWA conference where one of his short stories was a finalist in the contest. Check out his book at http://cathedralstreet.net.
Ta-ta for now. I’ll start blogging more often. Not sure if anybody is reading, but I’m enjoying it and that’s what’s important.
