Time to book it out of lazyville.
In stark contrast to my last entry, I've decided to really get the process of selling Sarahpeutics started. By selling I mean finding a publisher who wants to take over the whole deal. Sarah and I had talked about this before, even decided it was time. I blame myself for putting it off. Well, it can't be put off forever, or the book will be too out of date. I wasn't sure how to approach it before, but now, after researching, I've decided to write a real book proposal for it and shop it around to publishers. I just bought some books off Amazon on how to write proposals and I've been reading helpful websites on the topic. Given how many we've sold with no PR or advertising, it seems like a no brainer for a publisher to pick it up. They'll sell it for twice what we've been and print it for less than half what it costs us. But, as always, I'm cynical. Its something I'm going to commit to doing in short order, but I'm not holding my breath on success. Success in business doesn't make sense. Why it works or doesn't is usually a set of coincidences and occurrences that are far beyond your control. Cynical indeed. But I'll give it my best go. I've got nothing to lose but my time, which isn't worth much to begin with. :) I'll post the proposal when I get it in some state worth posting.Posted by wonko at July 30, 2003 04:37 PM

Well if your time isn't worth anything, that would imply that your comments are not worth very much. Since I believe my time is valuable, why am I reading your worthless blog?

You misunderstood me. Time is time and does not equal money, for anyone. So your time is worthless as well. You might as well read my blog. :) I believe it is destructive to equate ones time with money because that leaves no room for the non financially quantifiable activities like reading, or spending time with love ones. A wise man once said,"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."

My time a isn't worthless and I am not talking about money. Did it ever occure to you that you may be wrong. Or did I not understand what you were saying. You may be saying your time is a valuable as mine, I like the way that sounds a lot better. The truth is my time may be more valuable than yours. Well talk to you latter got no time to waste.
