A Year of Making Art, Day 201: Print-on-Demand

November 6, 2007  Day 201

We had a good artists' meeting last night, and got to see Andy's new photography studio (see Cascadilla Photography).  Everyone discussed their art trail experiences, as well as updates on exhibitions and other opportunities.

I still have my little gynecological problem, but couldn't get into a doctor's office, so I waited 4 1/2 hours this morning at the walk-in clinic.  I read Under the Tuscan Sun while I was waiting, so the time passed pleasantly.  Also, when I finally saw the doctor, it turned out that my problem is a minor one, so all in all, it was worth the wait.

Why do I always assume a fatal disease when anything goes wrong?!

I just finished my drawing, which feels like it might have a tad too much color:

Now I have to get ready to go out for a drink with the other writers who will appear on a panel with me Thursday night to talk about self-publishing.  I have published books both ways--with traditional publishers, and on my own with print-on-demand (see  The Bipolar Dementia Art Chronicles).  Each kind of publishing has its advantages and disatvantages.  That's what we'll talk about.

(Note:  There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
