1. Expansion is Good for the Writer

Extension and definition

Obviously this is the last day of May, but it’s also the day before the launch of a new website called “Two Voices, One Song.” My friend, Meena Rose, and I have created a new joint venture. It’s a blending of philosophies, perspectives, and visions, which I hope all of our regular readers will enjoy.

We’re inviting our readers to take a peek inside this new space before the rush of tomorrow, to have a look at the rooms within our freshly built abode.

Does this mean that Claudsy’s Blog will cease to exist or be abandoned like an old toy in favor of a new one? Not for a long while yet, is the only answer I can honestly give. It does mean that I’ll only be posting here every other day, instead of daily, as is now the case.

Meena and I are blending as much as we can of who we are as people and writers to give readers a far better look into our minds. Among the rooms at “Two Voices, One Song,” you’ll find regular brainstorming sessions between us while we work out problems with pieces of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. You’ll find regular pieces of finished fiction/non-fiction, as well.

Memoir entries centered on travels we’ve made, and understandings or thoughts we’ve taken away from those travels, will show up in the garage each week. Discussions of philosophy will take place in the Library, even while meditation is offered in the Garden. For those in need of writing prompts, there is a large selection from which to find just the one to stir the imagination and the Muse.

Along the way, we’ll have links to places we find worthwhile, engaging, or instructive. We urge every visitor to take advantage of these offerings and to offer feedback in return.

Profiles and interviews, stories and articles, poems and projections all come together there for savoring by the reader.

In the meantime, I’ll be having regular posts here as well. If I do fiction there, it will show up here. The same holds true for poetry and questioning pieces.

And while Claudsy’s Blog will migrate much of its content to the new site, Claudsy’s Calliope will do the same; as will Trailing Inspirations. This co-mingling of content and perspective feels like the proper thing to do right now, in this surge of creativity that was fostered at the beginning of May.

Please enjoy a tour of “Two Voices, One Song” and see if what you’ll find there will be as suitable to you as my offerings her

2. The Self-Publisher's Guide - An e-Book

I've been working on an e-book about self-publishing. And, what better way to create it than through a self-publishing avenue - I used Lulu.com.

The title is: The Self-Publisher's Guide - An e-Book by Karen Cioffi

It's 22 pages and the price will be $3.99 (for the time being). That's not bad - a guide for the price of a cup of coffee.

I'm hoping to have it available for sale by the end of the week - I'm having a couple of problems. I sent a trouble ticket to lulu.com help. I'm hoping for a speedy resolution.

So, what's in the book, you ask?

Ah, glad you asked; there's quite a lot!

Here's a description:

Do you have a book in you dying to come out? Do you want to self-publish a book you’ve already written, but you’re not sure what to do?

Well, The Self-Publisher’s Guide – An e-Book by Karen Cioffi is for you!

From Writing Your Book, to Self-Publishing options, to Creating a Website, to Promotion - it's all included in this handy guide.

Topics include: learning to write, critique groups, being ready for publishing, choosing a publishing company, creating visibility through promotional strategies, bringing traffic to your site, resources, tools, and much more.

Great self-publishing and promotional tips, advice, information, and examples!

For subscribers to this site, I am giving this e-book for free. It will be in monthly installments in our Newsletter.

If you haven't subscribed yet, please sign up now. The first installment will be in our October 2009 issue (sometime toward the end of the month).

Talk to you soon,
Karen
