2012 is well under way, and there's things I want to do; I have a book to write, representation to find, a million copies to sell, and a reputation to forge.
Yes, despite my Fractal Slacker mindset, I remain a man of Ambition.
The first step towards Legendary Author status is to solidify my online presence.
So, as Mrs. Thatcher almost once said, We are a Domain.
There it is, look! At the top of your browser, in the address bar! Yep, you've been redirected from the old Blogspot sub-domain.
Mark the date in the diary, and ready some grandkids; you'll want to tell them.

Okay, that's quite enough of that. But while I'm bigging myself up, I'm delighted to report that my second published tale is finally available:
Thanks to Jessica Weiss over at Wicked East Press for accepting my story into this anthology, despite it breaking most of their publication guidelines. It's an early tale - a rather revealing one in fact - and one of my favourites. You can find it on Amazon USA, Amazon UK and Barnes&Noble.I won't see a penny for it, not even a free copy, but I'm happy to be out there.
So, the future in under way. Thanks for helping me get there.
This blatant self promotion was brought to you by the letter 'I'.

Fantastic news! Indigo, you're already a legend AND a domain in the eyes of your legions of fans! Looking forward to reading your story, and learning about your book! Hats off to you!
ReplyDeleteNow get busy and take your WWFriends turn!
Hey Leah! My legion of fans? Well, bless both of you! =) The first volume was a nicely-produced book and a great read, and I'm looking forward to receiving the second. As for WWF, my lovely new phone had a booboo this week, so no games for me for a week or two while it gets repaired. Unless I can play directly in Facebook? Hmmm, I'll go check! Soon tho, I promise! Indigo x
DeleteCongrats indeed. And what's this about spending time playing games online? For shame. Oh, wait. It seems that I play a game or two myself.
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy! Thanks, it feels like a big step in many respects. As for games, I'm unable to play DRAW SOMETHING right now (my phone is poorly), and I sure am missing it. Are you a WWF player? Care for a game? Indigo x
DeleteWow! Indigo, you're like a celebrity now! So proud of you!!
ReplyDeletePearl
Hey Pearl! Thank you! Tho I wish I had your readership - I'd be halfway there =) For those of you who don't get over to Pearl's place, you really should! Indigo x
DeleteTop notch sir. You're a .com. Part of the .com revolution. I have become a .org. This doesn't mean I am organised. Oh no, not at all.
ReplyDeleteVisit http://www.TheTunguskaEvent.org - how's that for blatant self promotion?
Hey matey! I AM? Hey, does that mean I may go viral at any moment?! Do I need to get my suit cleaned? SHall we go for a curry now? Indigo
DeleteYou may go viral. I've got more chance of catching a virus.
DeleteOh hell, not more embarrassing itching. Is there no relief?
Delete*** AND YES EVERYONE! AFTER YOU'VE BEEN TO PEARL'S PLACE, PLEASE GO VISIT THE DOKTOR! ***
ReplyDeletebut did you have to install the mote?
ReplyDeleteUm?
DeleteLove the image and domain rights. But, since you've claimed Fractal Slacker, I'm still trying to figure out what I should put on my business cards. Care to give it a shot, sir?
ReplyDeleteHey Joshua! Well, there's always the timeless "Genius", but I think "Alpha Geek" would get the job done. Indigo
DeleteHow exciting. Congrats! The place looks great. Nook doesn't have Collection 2 yet, but I'll keep checking because I really want this. I'm totally in to flash fiction right now, writing and reading it. I just know you're going to be a super-star!
ReplyDeleteWell dammit, thank you Jayne! I hope the book hits the spot! I've not got mine yet, but the first one was terrific =) Thanks, Indigo x
DeleteBleah. Here's me, innocent Australian; tempted to believe in the Rainbow serpent .. and discover that you're MAKING THIS STUFF UP!!! Gah.
ReplyDeleteHey Davoh! Welcome to you, Sir. But I must refute your assertion; I prefer to think of my life as RealityPlus (where the Plus is "whatever comes to mind"). Indigo
DeleteHey -- since you've got the new website now, have you thought about installing Disqus for commenting? I really think you'll like it -- and no pesky word verification needed.
ReplyDeleteHey Jayne. I must admit I'm not a fan of word verification. But I'm not that fond of Disqus either; it doesn't work at the office, for one thing. Bless their firewall. I'll give it some thought tho. Indigo x
DeleteCan this be done on Wordpress? If so would you mind coming over to my crypt to teach me how.
ReplyDeleteLove, Aoibhe
Hey Aoibhe! I'm not sure, but plenty of Wordpress folk have their own domains. I'm happy to come over, but only if you tell me where you hid my neck brace, garlic and crucifix. Indigo x
