I've been hanging out on the Kindle Boards lately, trying to figure out the world of marketing my book.  There is a blog that offers postings for indie authors, and I submitted "The Meridian Gamble."  Check it out to find some cool new books.

Geez, I love Felicia Day.  She's fantastic.  And now I want to go to Australia to pet koalas (not bears, they're marsupials) and walk on the skywalk thing she's walking around on.

The Guild Season Seven

As long as I'm blogging again, I need to start posting videos from Geek and Sundry, specifically "The Guild" and "The Flog."  I love Felicia Day, she's hysterical, though I'm not completely loving this season, but ... it definitely ranks high amongst the seasons.  Nothing will top the one where they went up against the evil guild.

Well, I was going to start a new blog, but I realized that I still have one.  Might as well keep it.

I've been editing my book, and I'm almost at the point where I'm going to put it up on the ibookstore and on Amazon.  Pretty exciting, but it's amazing how many little details you have to focus on.  For example, I never realized that in publishing you put only one space between sentences.  Then, for some inexplicable reason, my Pages program decided to put no spaces between sentences in a few paragraphs.  To be fair, I probably did this, but ... I still blame pages.

More to follow ...

I still have a blog!!!

I need to start working on my blog again. I have ignored it!!

Tracking

So, I created a fake portfolio on a popular financial website. I pretended that I bought 500 dollars worth of Blizzard Activition and 500 worth of the Royce Low-Priced Stock Fund.

I might actually do that, in the real world. Emphasis on MIGHT. I guess I should do some more actual research on investing, heh, instead of being a typical investor ... well, I should say, instead of being a foolish investor and just jumping in.

Speaking of Warcraft

So, I've been reading bits and pieces about finance this week. And there is a blog called "Seeking Alpha" that talks about Blizzard Activision stock (ATVI I believe), that recommends it as a buy. There were some detractors though, and I almost have to agree with them. World of Warcraft is a great stock, it's value is awesome and it's a cash cow, and they are doing great with Call of Duty. But for how much longer? There are only so many new races they can add to the game. I tend to think it would be something good to get if the price drops, because it's bound to go up with Cataclysm's release.

Also, there is a stock fund called Royce Low-Priced Stock fund, something like that; roycefunds.com is the website. The specialize in exactly what it says, lower priced stocks that might rise. I was thinking to myself, why not just buy those and not enter the fund?

It's all very confusing, but I am going to resist the urge to jump in and play with money. I would like to really do my research first, because the goal is not to lose money being foolish.

OMG, I'm thinking of restarting my Wow account again, I'm getting bored. Must resist the urge.
