Today is the day to write your thank you notes.
I'm taking today to plug a thing of mine that's going on next week. So, running this site can be a pain in the butt sometimes. Sometimes, what you see on the screen can be half-assed. However, the rest of the time, it's been a lot of fun. It's helped my writing. It's let me meet a lot of cool people. And it's gotten me some cool opportunities.
So, if you or anybody you know is interested in slogging through the tough times of blogging in hopes of the payoffs, then check out the class I'm teaching next week for mediabistro here in Chicago called "breaking into blogging". I will share what I know and probably some things that I don't know. Everybody who signs up gets a free pair of sunglasses just like the ones I am wearing in my bio photo*.
