| Having a little memorial service for my dad down there, plus I'm getting together with all my high school hippie friends, plus I'll be video taping, gathering background material from my youth for this memoir. Did I mention the memoir? There's been some interest from a publishing company but nothing formal yet. We'll see how that goes. |
 working on the christmas book
|
yep, we're putting together a book of holiday columns to sell over the holiday season, and i'm writing a special introduction that includes a description of my lovely Christmas Day 2009, on which day I was unceremoniously transported home from the hospital in ridiculously feeble shape, full of stitches and open wounds, pumped up on crazy drugs, recovering from major surgery ... to celebrate Christmas! Yay! You can read all about the nightmare when the book comes out in a couple or three weeks. We might put it out first as an e-book while we're waiting for the bound copies ... will keep you informed ...

finally: all our advertising is terrible
|
Don't you think so? I've been writing things like "Buy Our Book Now!" wow. it's pretty funny. It was liberating to realize that.
Like, I never pictured myself as an ad man, so I don't have any ego associated with it, but I did picture myself as somebody who could write, so if I could write, why couldn't I write ads? Well, I don't know how to write ads.
|
i do know how to be myself, though
|
So I'm just going to do that from now on.
This happens all the time. I'll be doing something that's not working until I realize I'm on the wrong track and I get creative and real and weird and courageous and stuff happens. It's hitting bottom creatively. The "all our ads are terrible" campaign. I wonder if I can get approval to do that. I'm always on the edge of crazy when I'm on to something. --ct
