The woman is like a dog with a bone (and she'll admit that, I'm sure). :) So I'm not holding my breath on her changing her mind...<br /><br />I went the DBA route. It's easy in my state.<br /><br />Jami G.Jami Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957122956518765455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-68602112923616829682010-03-30T13:06:51.885-05:002010-03-30T13:06:51.885-05:00Murphy,
You don't need to worry about having ...Murphy,<br /><br />You don't need to worry about having good content for a blog. Your guest blog here a few weeks ago was great. Yes, I'm sure it took a lot of time, but the research and writing will get easier with time. Take it from an old schoolmarm. (Dang, why did I use the word "old"?) As for topics, your readers will suggest some and create subjects by asking you questions just like the loyal readers of this blog do. You'll be OK.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077791761104576436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-19587051467389247452010-03-30T11:01:55.346-05:002010-03-30T11:01:55.346-05:00Dave?

Right ...Thanks for answering some of my questions.<br /><br />Right now, I just have a blog, but I've purchased my name theresamilstein.com and my blog's name (just in case) substituteteacherssaga.com.

Perhaps y'all should name the blog ...Leona,<br /><br />Perhaps y'all should name the blog 'Murphy's Law'?<br /><br />Film at 11!<br /><br />And on a serious note, making images larger with software always results in poorer images than shrinking them because no software in the world is good at filling in the blanks where it needs to add information. That's why artistic types make all the difference in those situations. Leaving out info is easy, of course. My daughter does it all the time.

I especially like the rotation on a group blog idea - takes the pressure off of being on and available all the time."<br /><br />We've been waiting, some more patiently than others, for those sweet words. Ever since Murphy guest blogged a while back!<br /><br />I do believe we (I don't remember who all said, but many of us said we'd help) offered Murphy all the base and work and support as long as she blogged for us - not always, but sometimes *G*<br /><br />Hi Murphy, you missed me with that pen you threw at me :D<br /><br />You want to try the laptop? I could use a new one LOL<br /><br />PS I've incorporated a business I worked for and it's relatively cheap to do it yourself (I think it was about 250) in WA. It was also pretty easy. But, not something you want to mess with until you have to. <br /><br />The company I incorporated was an independent insurance agent whose parent company had exacting rights and rules, etc. One rule was the owner could have no other officers. Made for interesting meetings let me tell you. :D<br /><br />If you are setting up a writing corporation, you might not want a bunch of officers having any say in your business, either. However, as writers, you have the advantage that when you have your mandatory quarterly meetings you can at least make up characters to keep you company LOL<br /><br />PS Dave I want a copy of the film of her throwing things at me :PLeonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786326364037397675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-10205265320388440722010-03-29T21:12:21.439-05:002010-03-29T21:12:21.439-05:00Murphy, wouldn't Jenna get upset when she coul...Murphy, wouldn't Jenna get upset when she couldn't match your (ahem!) web presence?<br /><br />;-)Dave Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773380114295267509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-68168215728061927492010-03-29T20:23:55.346-05:002010-03-29T20:23:55.346-05:00Really good information.

Also, I'm kind of with JT on this one. Let’s say, you put yourself out there and create an awesome blog under the pen name Ivonna Buttfuck, but then your publisher doesn’t like it. *Insert me shrugging here and then imagine me asking this next question in an over exaggerated Yiddish accent* What, what’s not to like? ;) <br /><br />So, your publisher isn’t blown away by your creative ingenuity - and now you’ve got these Buttfuckers (that’s what you’ve named your loyal fans...for obvious reasons - hehehe) who you’ll have to convince to break ranks with that cool Buttfuckers blog and join your newly renamed site: Marianne Jameson’s corner.<br /><br />Hmm...I don’t think that would work. Maybe if you made your blog more of a place than a person at first? (Tapping forefinger to lips. *listening to crickets for a moment* Insert lightbulb popping on here) I got it! And it’s easy, too. How about: Ivonna Buttfuck U - you know? Short for university. That might work. :D<br /><br />No, seriously, it might work - in that you have this cool place that people can hang out - and meet you - and when you get to the point of finding a pen name and being published - you can then introduce it to them. Maybe have a name my pen name contest. That’s one way to create a buzz and get people to remember it. Let see...for Marianne Jameson? You could give the clues - pie baking castaway meets naughty porn star. <br /><br />Murphy :DRiley Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817930302085699222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-40680060533183872922010-03-29T16:11:05.280-05:002010-03-29T16:11:05.280-05:00Oh, I have one more question on the blog issue and...Oh, I have one more question on the blog issue and I think this touches on somebody else's question about pen names. A lot of people suggest you have a blog before you're published, but if you figure you're going to write under a pen-name... and you're not sure what name or think the publishing house may not like that name and you'll wind up having to change it... how can you preset anything up? It would be very awkward to be all "Oops! Sorry, name change in the middle!" LOL. Wouldn't it just be wiser to wait until you have it settled and have a name, or am I looking at this backwards?<br /><br />JTJulie Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880895598847092028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-50947782588712581032010-03-29T13:33:28.759-05:002010-03-29T13:33:28.759-05:00Thank you so much!

This clears up a ton of questions for me. <br /><br />Some of the advice I've been reading in article (even though they're current) seemed outdated to a degree to me, like the letterhead and matching envelope thing. It seems like so much of the business is done via email and phone calls these days... does anyone really even write snail mail anymore? I don't know.<br /><br />The credit card thing was always a puzzler. I know people like privacy and when you're out "as that author" it might be easier to do all business as that author, but beyond that, the need for that left me ????<br /><br />Websites are trickier. While I can code some and work with templates the whole "how you actually put it together" part stumps me. Website and blog? Just a blog? Would anybody even care if I had something to say? LOL. Fortunately I have a friend who does freelance web design. She's probably going to regret ever saying, "Ooh, I'll help you do that!" *G*<br /><br />An appointment with my accountant is definitely a must when the time comes. Nothing like a good lawyer and good accountant to help a girl out.<br /><br />I'll definitely check out the past PR posts, thanks for linking to that. <br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br />JTJulie Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880895598847092028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-39911456554058646832010-03-29T12:52:35.560-05:002010-03-29T12:52:35.560-05:00Great info...thanks!
