I went to a free seminar today - a seminar for aspiring authors. It was interested because it was about self publishing and marketing and all that goes into a profitable book. But it also gave hints for plowing through the writing process, shortening it, and I don't like that, as a writer. I felt a certain sense of entitlement being that I actually go through the creative process that is writing, that it's not just turning a profit for me. I'm sure that others feel the same way but I just think writing has different meanings for different people. But it was a free seminar, they had a good lunch and we got a free book and a free pen. So well worth it. The speaker, Tony Rubleski, was very good and I did get some great advice. So now I want to write a nonfiction book too. So we'll add that to the list of things to do today:
Write novel.
Write screenplay.
Find out how to make enough money to pay the rent.
Write a nonfiction book.
Not much - and it's only 4:18pm. Well, guess I should get started. (I have been busy since I got home downloading that cool song from the beginning of last week's Grey's Anatomy when Christina and Burke danced and making new business cards, very important work.) As it says about my desk, "The only way to write is to write today!"
