Self-promotion...

My partner and I do a site about sharing creativity, and we've just finished converting all the stuff we've written into a Wiki (using MediaWiki). We can't write about everything ourselves, so we're hoping that making it a Wiki will get us a bit of help from other people. If anyone's interested, it's here...

So far, it's got a bit about playing guitar, a few articles on productivity and GTD, and a couple of reviews of things, but we'd love to see it grow to cover lots more things - writing, blogging, photography, drawing, painting, music, etc.

It *is* relevant, though. I've written some articles about GTD on my blog...

Cutting it down *very* briefly, I don't keep a separate projects list, just have next actions with the project on the same line, sort of like...

It means you can only have one next action for a project, but saves a bit of overhead trying to match projects up to next actions.

My partner and I are trying to do something vaguely similar, in that we're giving away her first book as an ebook in the hope of getting some sort of following for it, then selling her second book - probably in a slightly more conventional way.

I guess this makes us the literary equivilent of sad copycat cam whores, then.

Here, if you're interested in having a look - fictional story of an 80s boy band. Damn, there goes the whoring again...

Hey, if we're doing a spot of shameless plugging here, i'll risk a few karma points ;)

My partner has written a book, which after failing to get it off the ground by selling it, we decided to make into an e-book and give away for free. It's a bit different to almost any other books, in that it's laid out from articles and clippings from assorted fictional magazines, books, and newspapers, with lots of pictures. Nice and easy to read on a computer screen, though.

More info, and download as a PDF, at http://pigpog.com/mblm/. There's also the option to just read it online, but only part of it is up there so far - enough to decide if it's worth the download, though.

It's the story of a boy band from the 80s, based in the UK. They rise to reasonable fame, then fall back to obscurity. Except one of them can't take the obscurity, and hatches a plan to return...

Our vague plan for getting anything back from this is that she's working on the second book in the story, which will hopefully be sold in a slightly more conventional way.
