I'm an interrogator of gargoyle lovers, frog fondlers, and the eternal optimists saving the news industry. These are some of the stories I've written.

Social Media Success

As some of you already know, this year I’m making the transition from “writer, editor, and blogger” to “writer, editor, blogger, and author. That’s right. I am gonna sell a book this year, darn it!

As part of that goal, I’ve added a bunch of agent blogs and writing blogs to my RSS reader, figuring I can kill two birds with one stone by doing so: learning more about the publishing industry as well as learning which agents I may want to query, plus getting my name out there by leaving comments/participating in discussions. Win-win situation for everyone.

And now a well-known blogger has asked me to guest post for him! That was fast, as it’s only, uh, 5 days into 2010.

I won’t say who yet because we’re still working out the details, but this is fantastic news!
