Back in the UK
Spreading The Word
Comfort zones are dangerous. Get comfortable – get lazy. So, Split is behind me for now. Leaving was more emotional than I could have imagined. It felt like leaving family. It seems that emotional ties can creep up unawares and bite you when you’re not looking.
Now I concentrate on spreading the word.
I write this entry from Scotland, a short distance from Arran and home to Tom Corven. Over the past few days I’ve had to reorganise my life and prepare for the changes ahead. Everything must revolve around the Tom Corven project. Since I started this, I’ve become increasingly encouraged by the fantastic response from everyone who hears of it. Trying something new is a challenge and I love challenges. With the road ahead less travelled however, planning has to be dynamic and execution flexible. The press release goes out soon and what I do in the next few weeks will depend on the response the project attracts. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and continue to plan alternative routes to spreading the word. This includes a tour of the UK, talking to librarians, writers and readers and handing out leaflets outside book stores in the major towns and cities around the country. I welcome ideas from anyone and if there are groups out there who would like me to talk about the project or about technology for 21st century publishing, I’d be happy to do so.
I received an email from another Paul last night who has listened up to Chapter 38 of the podcast, loves it and is likely to join us – assuming I provide an alternative to Paypal. This is the third request for such a facility, so I guess it now must become a priority.
Thanks to everyone for your support.
