Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today? JOE: Not bad. I worked hard editing Marital Property yesterday and have only thirty pages to go to the end of the book. CALLIOPE: Great progress. Then what? JOE: I think that will complete the major editing. Next I will read the book aloud to see how it sounds and correct it for tone. CALLIOPE: Sounds like a good next step. And after that? JOE: Next is to call my reviewers back into action. I have several who read my books in the past and made excellent suggestions for revisions. I plan to ask them to read it. CALLIOPE: Have you decided what to do about publication? JOE: No. I think I might take another run at agents to see if I can generate any interest. If not, I will probably use Booklocker again and get started on Commonsense Wisdom for Teens. CALLIOPE: How are your marketing efforts coming. JOE: As you know I completed my first video and posted it on MySpace and YouTube. I plan to work on others starting Monday. I will complete a general podcast about my writing, readings from my other two books, ten reasons to read or not read each book and one about my Commonsense Wisdom for Teens project. CALLIOPE: Sounds ambitious. JOE: It is. I have plans laid out for the next few weeks. CALLIOPE:I hope you can keep it all straight. JOE: I hope so too. But at least I know where I'm headed. Talk with you on Monday. |
