Loving it! Thankfully I've got a book deal and some other contracts, so I've not had to worry too much about finances. It's been a great period. I'm thinking of going back to work for a few months in the fall / winter, and then doing another book next year. We'll see though. It's been a great, great ride.

It continues to grow--slowly, but surely (I wish it was faster! LOL!). It is my goal to quit my "real" job eventually and just be self-employed, but I know it's not going to happen overnight. (Patience is a virtue, right? LOL!) If anyone is in need of a website, my specialty is keeping website design affordable for small business owners (like myself). My website is Dramatic Design (http://www.dramatic-design.com) and there is a blog there (on the News page), for anyone that is interested. Drop me a note and let me know you stopped by!

I know I sure would, though I sincerely enjoy what I currently do. Ultimately, I'm working on a book that might help me gain a smidge of notoriety and eventually shake loose from the corporate world. That's a ways off, so for now, I enjoy the ride and make my seconds count. Wouldn’t we all love to be free from the 9-to-5? I know I sure would, though I sincerely enjoy what I currently do.

I've found that it's become a 8am to 10pm thing now. But man, it's worth every second. I gave up the 9 to 5 thing a while back… I’ve found that it’s become a 8am to 10pm thing now.
