[...] The humor writing has been slower-going, but it’s on deck. I mean, I still want to serialize my bagel deli book online, and let’s not forget that parenthood book I keep mentioning I’m working [...]

Everyone makes money online telling people how to make money online. What the fuck do you think I’m trying to work into? Why should Darren Rowse have all of the fun.

BTW, you’ll notice I’m saying “Darren Rowse” a lot recently because I’m hoping eventually I’ll catch his attention. Kind of like how I keep mentioning Oprah, and my need to be on her show. COME ON OPRAH AND DARREN, WORK IT OUT FOR JOHNNY!

Kate: I can’t talk about farts on EVERY post. Sometimes it’s just implied. By the way, why does it stink in here?

Becky: Stay tuned.

Ah, so you must not be on her newsletter list to get the cheap-before-everyone-else stuff. You’re right though, get it out there then write an ebook about how you get it out there. Kinda like how John Chow makes money online telling people how he makes money online.

@ Terry – Hmm, I totally know what that is; I just didn’t know it was debuting yet. Weird. And I do keep thinking about ways to get my shit out there. Basically, I want to debut it without looking like a retard. Because then I could write my own “launch” post to rival those of similar others, and I could call it “How to make $75 in one day” and people would be all impressed.

@ You other two – Don’t ask.

It sounds like a fun read and I know I’ll buy it whenever you figure the distribution part out. In the meantime, good job building up the interest; toying with us and all that. Don’t worry if you don’t get a lot of feedback today on it, that might not mean there isn’t interest (and I’ll look like a dumb ass now if you get a lot of comments); we don’t always know the real reason why.

I just happen to be one of the few Naomsters who won’t be otherwise engaged today because I’m so totally stinking broke I can’t even afford the measly price of admission to her new playground (which is still basically a secret, so I won’t go into that right now except to say that I am the one responsible for it being named what it is, really, Naomi even said I can say that).

But my point is . . . keep working on getting it out there. It sounds wonderful and I’m sure it will find its right people if you let it.
