Net-working beats big boys
A great article, by a publisher, in The Times last week which Book2book has just brought to my attention. Suggests that online selling to readers is the way forward for small publishers. As we have Ecademy Press already doing that, as well as selling through amazon and bookshops, I feel vindicated!

Making Writing Fun
It's Sunday afternoon and I'm sitting here writing this blog - and others - in a cafe overlooking Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth and working wirelessly. I can look up references, copy them into mind maps and then type them up whilst listening to a laid back jazz set being played by a DJ who knows that we just want the music without chat.
This is definitely fun - and the bashful sun keeps trying to make an appearance. Beats working at a desk any day!

Internal blogging thoughts
This is one of over 5 million blogs that are tracked by Technorati. How do I know? Dave Sifry, who keeps track of such statistics has said so in his State of the Blogosphere blog.
This leads me to think about what should be recorded here to make it of interest to readers. Clearly, Writer in Residence, Cornwall tells part of the tale. Posts about being writer and living in Cornwall are clearly on message here. I'm also, in my slugline, interested with building a business whilst maintaining work/life balance - so some of that softer stuff will find its way here. As a publisher (for 9 months so far), I may also touch on topics of interest to writers who want to publish or be published. Some of those posts will also find their way on to Ecademy.
If I can clarify in my mind what goes here, mabe I'll take the time to write it. One of the penalties of writing professionally is that writing for and about me is a bit like working. Maybe it is time to find a way to make my professional writing more like fun? Any ideas?
