You never cease to amaze me. That was really interesting. I learned a lot about something that I don’t know much about. Now I need to go hear some of that music.

Great job! I appreciate the effort you put into this. And I think I agree with you that music isn’t dying…the means of delivery is changing.

Thanks for playing along!

OG I know it said 8 but I got a…

9) $35 dollars and a one page form to the Library of Congress, copyright section, will get your work legally copyrighted and you get a nifty official paper saying you are the copyright holder. Get the form on line and print it out.

Follow the directions carefully, and if you are really serious about intellectual property rights, this should be done the same day you send work out.

Poetry for example can be bundled in one folder with a title, this way you can (c) many pieces at the same time. Same with shorts and flash, full length works should be done individually. Most editors assume the work has a (c) so it is not necessary to mention it in a cover letter. Note in in the mss header where you put your contact information.

and i ain’t saying anymore.

OG the slush pile is a good step. It may take awhile for the editor’s final read, but it is similar to being on third with no outs. You just hope a batter sends you home before the third out.

peace

Wow – you did some serious research. Go Jay-Z! I did mine a week ago and enjoyed it. I like new memes. Have a great Tuesday, Claudia!

TWM – Go Mark!! I hate those query letters to – so impersonal, so boring. I wonder if anyone reads them…. I didn’t realize the slush pile was post editor interest. That’s depressing.

Odat – It was a pulling together. These things tickle my mind and appear in my dinner conversation quite a bit. Good luck with the meme!

Bethany – Yes, BB is very cool!

Colleen – M’k I’ll take that challenge – maybe next week? I have 2 I’ll have to dig up more.

Tommie – You usually say: “a$$” but you know me. Any opportunity to swear is a good one! Good for Colby. Sorry about the microwave guy – grrrr….

Jameil – Amen. Working in the Open Grove, I was amazed at the stuttering fools. Even ones who HAD publicists – or maybe especially those who did – were awful. I know I have much to learn, but I’m a gonna learn it.

interesting. the best shows i’ve been to were ABSOLUTELY the ones w/the most audience interaction. playing with their backs to the audience?? get outta here. i obsess over these things too much as it is tho i’m sure i could give some interesting news insight i’d rather not! people understimate the importance of media interaction. it can absolutely make your career. you better know how to flirt with that camera and be engaging w/reporters. sigh. i get tired of having to yell this at screens. lol.
