IN WHICH I ATTEMPT TO CONTROL AN INTERVIEW

Look, I really will get on with some trenchant and perceptive advice about improving your publishability. Soon. Honestly. Probably on Tuesday. But first, I had such fun today. After telling you yesterday (scroll down one post - save me linking) about Lynn Price's hilarious promo video for her forthcoming book, The Writer's Essential Tackle Box, I investigated the software she'd used. I felt I should.

A couple of hours (well, OK, four hours) later, I had come up with my own effort. And if there's got to be a "learning point" in every post on this blog, it is this: that getting published is only the beginning. Life from then on becomes one heady round of "interviews" and associated madness.

I had a long list of things to do today and this wasn't on it. But it was much more fun.



Oh, and still don't forget to try to win your free copy of the Writer's Handbook. Your deadline is Thursday.

Very entertaining, I'm tempted to make a video of this cheery exchange I was party to in London recently - http://lawsie.blogspot.com/2010/04/possible-proposition-outside-aldgate.html
