Mur — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:41:49 +0000

Happy New Year! I’m back from Christmas in the disappointingly un-snowy Buffalo, NY. Getting my wordcount, uh, counted for 2011, looking at goals and stuff in 2012, planning a big blog post and end of the year show, and then…

ISBW #223 – Self pub does not equal total control / John Berlyne Interview

Mur — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:00:03 +0000

As some authors dealing with Amazon are finding out, self pubbing your own work doesn’t allow you all the control we’ve been led to believe. In short, READ YOUR TERMS OF SERVICE at Lulu, Amazon, Smashwords, etc. If you don’t like the agreement, then don’t sign.

I was finally able to pin down the very more »

Fabulists will get the unedited interview, and it is much longer, as Chuck and I got foul, silly, and brainstormed comics for DC. (I’m more »

ISBW #217 – Boring grown up stuff / Grammar Girl Interview

mightymur — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:43:29 +0000

Creative types don’t think about stuff like investments, insurance, and file backups. That is, until they’re 65, sick, with no money in the bank, and their hard drive just crashed. This is stuff you must consider.

Since recording this, I’ve learned about the Freelancer’s Union, and I just became a member. It’s rather NYC more »
