It is now after 7 pm and I just signed off the clock at work. I've got about 15-20 minutes before I go catch my bus. This morning it was not working. After missing my ideal 6:22 bus, my backup 6:40 bus AND my last rush hour chance bus at 7 am, I caught the 8:37 bus that takes me to the hub, where I thought I'd have a connection to take me downtown. Wrong. I had to wait another 45 minutes, and my 7:30 start time at work became 10:30. I got off at 7 pm insteaf of 4pm.

I was going to bring the laptop, go write downtown. Instead I am rushing through a blog on my work computer.

My head is still all over the place. How can I market? How can I market? I feel like I am ten years old pushing my story at whoever will read it. 

I am trying to decide which excerpts to read at readings. I will try just reading the beginning. The first seven pages. Then I should pick an excerpt with each of the other narrators about the same length, all close enough to the beginning not to give too much away. I could also post them on writing websites as "teasers." I also want to do character bios.

But you only get what you give, right? So I'm offering reviews, and may turn that venture into another magazine. Maybe the third time is a charm on that. The book is still barely available on Lulu, and had a couple months to go before it hits Amazon and the rest of global distribution.

I activated my Zoetrope account so I can get motivated to write some new flash fiction. It's all a balancing act, but I'll figure it out.
