My neck still hurts
But given the date, seems like I don’t have much reason to complain.
I wanted to write a little bit about structuring the Textured piece for Brain Child because I’m thinking about it as I struggle with this sample chapter and chapter outline but they’re hoping you’ll bring your discussions over yonder. I’m trying to think of something to say to kick things off. If you’d like, I’d love you to go read it and then comment at their comment page. I’ll be checking in there to respond to stuff.
Next a work-work-work update (i.e, a Smart Cookie update):
- This time my postcards got some hits to the site. I knew that the campaign was about long-term pay-off so I wasn’t surprised when the first batch got no (as in ZERO) hits. If I hadn’t been prepared I would have been disappointed and discouraged but I knew that I was counting on a snowball effect. Anyway, getting some hits from the second has been great and I added some services to a sidebar on my portfolio page because that’s the place people are clicking, too. (They’re skipping the “about” page some so if any of you are working on biz sites, I’d make note of that. It surprised me because I always read the “about” pages!)
- I’ve all of a sudden gotten a bunch of almost work (people who want to meet to talk possibilities) and a little bit of new work — emphasis on “little bit.” Again, I started this in March so that’s six months of pounding the pavement. Most of the work I’ve gotten I either got from online connections — mostly from this blog — or its consumer work. I think it’s taken this long because I chose to start in the spring and summer is slow slow slow and also because I didn’t really know what I was doing for the first three months.
Sorry about the neck. I have to say, my chiropractor’s rehab treatment is really helping me, though it’s still a long road to go…
I loved the piece in Brain, Child and congrats on the hits from your very clever, professional, attractive postcards!
