the storms of life have really been gettting to me recently, and i'm very glad to say that, finally, i can see blue skies once again!
in the beginning of last week, i was really going thru it. i could barely get myself out of bed, and when i did, i moped around like a sad little puppy dog-- locked in a state of depression and grief over what I felt was an uninspired life. on top of that, i was frustrated with trying to get my cable and internet service ...
i'm starting a new category here on the site called, "gettin' published & promoted." it will include both posts and videos on my experiences of putting "evolution of a man: a journal of self-discovery" on the map. the book has been written, edited, and sitting on my desk for a good 5 or 6 months now, and it's time for me to get my ass in gear and get this book on the shelves.
a friend of mine, over the weekend, offered the advice that i begin to ...
2009, for many people and for many reasons, represents a time of hope, and a chance to find fulfillment and foster change. i recently watched oprah's best life week series and was struck by a piece of advice from suze orman. she suggested that we all use the year 2009 to lay the foundation for the next 5-10 years of our lives. she was referring primarily to our finances, of course, but it's really a very sage piece of advice for all areas of our lives. ...
since the thanksgiving holiday, i've gotten a huge boost of energy and drive when it comes to getting nye media off the ground. watching "charlie and the chocolate factory" after dinner led to inspired thought, which sent me straight to my computer- jotting down ideas, and creating plans for 2009.
when it comes to my book, "evolution of a man: a journal of self-discovery," i've come to the conclusion that i'd like to give self-publishing a try. ...
ok, here's the deal. a year ago, i started a personal photo project with a photographer friend of mine. it was a photo time capsule- a pictorial collage noting my style and workout progress for the year. i used my photo shoots to express who i was as person at the time, and to learn how to be comfortable in front of a camera. unfortunately for me, my friend moved to san francisco earlier this year, and so i was unable to complete the project.
last ...
here we go! i just got back from the post office (always an interesting experience) where i mailed the first batch of query letters and self-addressed stamped envelopes to publishers & literary agencies across the country. aside from writing the book itself, this is my first effort to put my name out there, and find some backing for Evolution Of A Man!
so, send all your good energy and best wishes this way. somebody's gonna publish this book... ...
this is the frame paused on my computer because i just HAD to write this post!
[sidebar: i'm catching up on all my missed television due to my 2 week trip to texas. my dvr went crazy and so i pretty much have to catch up on everything online (which i love 'cuz i can have porn playing in the background). anyway, after watching an enticing (and very well produced) "making the band 4" finale, i rounded to "the hills" for some beverly hills reality (or so ...
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, i give you:
Evolution Of A Man: A Journal Of Self-Discovery
At 24, Will McNair was lost. Although he had a successful year in New York City under his belt after moving from California, as well as a very promising job at Google, he felt inadequate and unaccomplished.
