I’m Back
It’s hard to believe that I haven’t posted to this blog since July 2008. A lot of things happened last summer that required more time than I had to give so I had to give up a few things for a while in order to take care of them.
First, the director of the Writers Studio, Scott Foran moved to California and left me in charge of the group. That was a lot of responsibility and required time to get adjusted to. A great deal of things goes on behind the scenes that have to be coordinated. Even as the assistant director, I had no idea how much was involved.
Next I was recruited to a meeting of local artists to help start a regional artist guild and ended up on the board of directors. Helping put this group together, conducting fund raisers, doing research and attending meetings was and still is very time consuming, but the project is coming together nicely. It’s such a great group of creative people and we have two towns actively striving to have us locate in their downtown areas. They’re actually giving us buildings to use rent free.
Over the next several weeks I’ll be writing about our progress, what we’re doing for fundraisers, research I’ve conducted on how to start a print magazine on a shoestring budget and a behind the scenes look at the details of how some books got to be best sellers.
The art guild’s website is: www.convergenceartguild.com

I just wanted to let you know, I really like the composition on your web site. But I am employing Chromium on a machine running version 8.x of Ubuntu and the design aren’t quite right. Not a important deal, I can still essentially read the articles and explore for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of tough to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!
