Julie & Julie & Julia Part II

September 2, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

Julie & Julie & Julia Part II

I’ve spent the past couple of hours researching Julie Powell and her 365-day Julie/Julia Project, which led to a book deal and then a movie. I’ve learned a lot, but I still haven’t figured out how she built such an enormous following for her blog. I did find her actual blog, though – two of… [Read More]

Julie & Julie & Julia

August 31, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

I just finished reading Julie Powell’s Julie & Julia, which I confess I’d been unaware of until the movie came out. The book and the movie both left my main question unanswered: how on earth did Julie Powell lure all those visitors to her blog? I wish I knew her secret. Reading her book, though,… [Read More]

Today I’m delighted to welcome Sunny Frazier as my first guest blogger.

I wonder how many thousands of trees per year sacrifice their lives to produce the thousands of printed works no one buys, that end up on remainder tables and in… [Read More]

Eldercide excerpt – I’m my own toughest editor

July 28, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

I’ve been getting lots of good responses to my posts about POD and self-publishing, and I plan to quote from several of your comments tomorrow. Much of the talk has focused on editing. Can everyone benefit from good editing? Does everybody need it? I’ve never hired a paid professional editor. My work has been read… [Read More]

True confession time: I’m a POD person, I’m out and I’m proud!

July 24, 2009 By Julie Lomoe Leave a Comment

Early in this blog’s brief history, I posted about my bipolar diagnosis, saying I’m out and I’m proud. Today’s post is about an aspect of my identity with perhaps even more stigma attached – I’ve published my two mysteries POD, or print-on-demand, rather than with a traditional publisher. A discussion on Murder Must Advertise got… [Read More]
