Promotional websites

I really got a kick out of this website for Peter Kuper's latest graphic novel.

And this one by Miranda July for her novel, No one belongs here more than you, is brilliant and funny.

And here's Karen Quinn's site promoting her novel, Wife in the Fast Lane. The site is full of contests inspired by the book.

If you know of any good examples of promotion, please share them!

Loose ends

Okay, so what do I do now?

The MS is done for a bit as in: I need to let it go for a month and come back to it so I don't obsess, picking away for the sake of picking resulting in nothing constructive. You know what I mean, don't you?

I've already got a start on the next MS. About 20,000 wds in. But I can't seem to feel it today. It:the desire to write. And I'm not sure why. Just like I'm not sure why I wasn't really celebratory after finishing the MS.

I've said before that I can write anytime and that's true. It isn't bragging as I lay no claim to the quality of the writing I complete. It's just that my past professional life has taught me to write to deadline and so I do.

Maybe that's it. I don't have a deadline looming. Just all this time ahead of me. I'm not sure if this is the reason for feeling at loose ends, but it sounds like it could be.

Tick tock. Tick tock.

Yikes.

Well, enough of that. It's research time. (Some call it surfing the Web, I call it research.) Seriously, I think I'll take some time to do some agent research and let my dreams get the better of me for one afternoon.

That's allowed, right?

Here's to great writing!
