Thanks to Steve Bryant, I just read about the awe-inspiring success of the webcasting singer, Sandi Thom. I was so excited to read about somebody who created a web community, and then, unbelievably quickly, used that community to suceed in a difficult business. Thom built up 100,000 fans in 21 nights. Struggling writers, take heart...It's the kind of cheery news that we love to read over at Chartreuse, but today, you read it first at ThePublishingSpot! Please note the time clock at the bottom of this post. Then click here. I'll bet you $20 our manifesto-scribbling new media buddy will write a post about Sandi Thom's career in the next forty-eight hours.
Jason, your post reminds me of another opportunity that such interactive writing networks afford.
My son-in-law was telling me the other day how a fellow PhD student set up a network for their circle to post and comment on one another's papers and perspective articles.
Both the tips and the shared tales have meant a great deal to this kid who in his twenties is trying to both compete with and learn with folks far older in his program.
Your post reminded me of the value of the story Neal told me last week. Thanks.
