Thanks to Social Media , when my birthday\u00a0 is , is no secret.\u00a0 I don’t know how everyone else does it, but when you have several thousand “friends” on FB…your\u00a0 wall turns into a giant stream on “happy birthdays” all of which I feel obligated to thank or I feel like a heel.\u00a0 Which makes for about three hours of posting “thank you” the day after my birthday.\u00a0 Which really is no thrill for any of us.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SO…I have my setting set so you can’t post but instead have sent you all here.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You can help make my birthday more fun by doing one or several or all of the following…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(yeah, that’s right , i’m going to plug the book again, It’s my birthday I can do what I want.\u00a0 …listen…I know sometimes it seems\u00a0 repetitive but There a seven billion things to do on the internet and that many forms of entertainment I’m up against.\u00a0 I don’t have a marketing department or a big warchest to advertise with or some company backing my play.\u00a0 I have the quality of my work, my own big mouth, and you.\u00a0 That’s it.\u00a0 Tough odds.\u00a0 Even the opportunities that happen to come my way like Mad or Trip tank are because some reader brought me up or someone who’s fan found a place for me.\u00a0 Some said “try this guys stuff” or “Doug contact this guy”.\u00a0 And the readers that find me find me the same way.\u00a0 I have to do what i can to make sure those keep coming, and more readers and fans keeping coming into the fray, because the reality of what I do is that once a project is done…if you didn’t line up something else, you have nothing else.\u00a0 Even at the stage of the game I’m at, you stop fighting…your done. And TRUST ME on this, you NEVER know who is looking at your page or anyone elses…If you aren’t standing in the storm holding a kite with a key tied to it, you ain’t gonna catch any lightning.\u00a0 So…If you will allow me to continue…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1- PLUG THE NEW BOOK..there are only a few days left for people to order, and it is very important to me that Arsenic Lullaby do well (obviously)

2- Just go to www.Arsenic Lullabies.com<\/a> and enjoy yourself.\u00a0 the website isn’t the most easily navigated and there is probably stuff you haven’t seen, so go there and kick around a little.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
