Buzz, Buzz, Buzz

I realize there really is no good excuse but, I need to make one.  And yes, I do feel guilty for not keeping up with my Blogs and for visitors who I know have visited, forgive me, please.  I have perhaps too many creative projects underway. 

I am working on a memoir that I will be e-pubing after the Mercury retrograde (the Mars in Virgo retrograde ends on April 13th) and that is taking some of my time.  I am also working on the ongoing special effects portraits series I will be looking to publish also but even that has been put on hold because, I am also doing ongoing neutraceutical researches that take up a lot of my time. 

There is so much great leading edge info out there and I want to gather that info perhaps for another publication later this year.  I will keep visitors with an interest in these publications and material up to date as things progress. 

I just finished the launch of some material I wanted to introduce to curators, collectors and others who I believe will be interested in my world of special effects photography and, I'm really glad for that.  Because now I can concentrate on writing, revising, getting the necessary parameters for the epub straight and, I only hope that these related but distinctly different activities don't cancel each other out. 

I'm also doing research on media players and may get the Nook Tablet.  There are so many iphones and tablets out there on the market.  I need to research those that run Amazon ebooks and the platform that publishes with Smashwords because I will be looking to publish with both of these publishers. 

I found yet another epublisher, Lulu but will probably not complicate matters further for myself and just concentrate on the submission necessitites for Amazon and Smashwords.  Barnes and Nobles comes into the picture too, there's just a lot to sort out so these are the kinds of activites that have taken so much of my time. 

It gets kind of thick too because of Barnes and Nobles, Amazon and their publishers are all staunch competitors.  I believe writers can publish across different platforms but, I need to make sure my research is accurate so I can get the correct Tablet when I purchase one in late April, early June.  There's so muc info out there to wade through.

Now you know.  Forgive me? 

All perfectly fine to be doing this during the Mars in Virgo retrograde (I guess), research, research and more research. 

If you are interested, I have three Blogs are on Amazon Kindle.  One is an e-book reader astrology Blog, and two art e-book Reader Blogs

If I don't get consistent I realize I will not be living up to my agreement with Amazon and they will pull the plug on me for not living up to my committment with then so, I will be focusing on balancing my schedule to make more consistent entries.

I know this sounds confessional and, it is.  I admit it.  I'm trying to get it together. 

When Jupiter enters Gemini in June of this year I believe it will be, the publishing world and writers, especially those who are self publishing will be trending in a really big way. 

Those of you who are writers out there and with the content and product to introduce to all the lovely handheld devices and a whole big readership out there here at home and globally, get your thing together now but, don't submit until after the retrograde is finished, end of this June. 

June is fast approaching!
