August - for us, last month of winter
Taking stock as winter ends for us, in Argentina:
My little e-book ha done well, and so has my association with Holly Lisle’s affiliate program - thanks to her, I began this Internet adventure. The whole series, “33 Worst Mistakes Writers Make About…” is at the Shop Page, in this journal
As a netwit, I’ve found the whole Internet adventure slower than I’d expected.
My main website www.byknight.com has gone through several transformations as I’ve been climbing the learning curve: it began with Kompozer, an excellent (free) editing software, with some limitations. I dug into our reserve funds and got properly set up (I hope), with Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Acrobat Pro … the good people at Adobe are a little richer - though I doubt they’ve noticed - and we have become considerable poorer (which we have!) … so BYKNIGHT should be out there before the end of August.
Writing - a good job with a printing and publishing contact, covering for the Drupa Exhibition in Düsseldorf, a long story (part of it sketched in my other web log, Mostly by Knight … a dull read for non specialists but intriguing; the story of publishing from the Lascaux Cave Paintings all the way to high speed digital printing (which just may be the future, and just may change the way books are published).
Sunday Morning and time to go and ring the bells at Mrs. Q’s church - so more of this later
