- I haven't posted here for almost three months. Work happened. I taught five classes this semester, and was so busy I hardly wrote. My new book is languishing in the bowels of my computer. When the semester finally ended last week, I felt as if I had been run over by a Mac truck. I felt flattened. Now all I want to do is write. But my break, since I work at different schools with different ...

- I did my very first authors' panel today. Thanks to Corey Roskin for making the West Hollywood Book Festival a really pleasant experience. Amy Wallen, Moon Pies and Movie Stars (http://www.amywallen.com) was a great moderator, and I was in some illustrious company, notably Selden Edwards, The Little Book (http://www.seldenedwards.com), David Fuller, Sweet Smoke ...

- My daughter will graduate from high school next year. She's determined to go away to college. I have two kids, and she's the younger. So, I will be alone in less than a year. I hadn't really thought of it that way until the other day.

- I love radio interviews. I love the intimacy of them, and the interaction between host and author. I have been trying to find stations that do author interviews (using google) but my results are pretty sketchy. Does anyone know of a good, free list?

- I found out today that a friend (not that close to me but very close to others who are very close to me, and a person I have known for a very long time) is near death from a perforated intestine. The thing is, he was in pain and didn't go to the hospital because he has no insurance. He waited a week. I am stunned that he may die, worried about those close to him, and angry that this country ...

- How many of you know about this beta site where you can track your sales? It's in real time, so when you go there, you will see where you are on Amazon at the moment, and once you plug your book in, it will keep a historical ranking, showing you your averages, highs, and lows. And you can compare your book to others (see how you are holding out against Atmospheric Disturbances, for ...

- I would like to compile ideas for marketing and make them available to other writers. Anyone out there who came upon a good marketing idea who would like to share it? If you write it in a comment here, or send it to me at nat@natashabauman.com, I will put them all together in an essay (crediting you, of course, for your wonderful idea) and post it on Red Room. Thanks for any and all responses!

- I teach during the school year. I have two free months during the summer, and I always mean to write, write, write every day of those two months. But I find myself, when I go onto the internet to do "research," just messing around online for hours. I have decided to at least be a bit more productive by channeling my tendency to procrastinate into Red Room articles. So two of the ...

- I'll be on the First Novelists panel at the West Hollywood Book Festival on September 28. This will be my first such experience. Woohoo! I'll report back on how it goes. I love West Hollywood, and I expect this to be fun.
