You could visit my personal webpage at http://www.johnrobertjohnson.com. Would love to hear your stories about Fresno. I spent some time working there myself, as a freelance creative for an ad agency.

John, I’ve never read your work, but will follow your blog and look into your books. I’ve recently published my own science fiction novel, “Purusha’s Urn”, which is currently on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Unlike you, this is my first book, and finding a publisher took me 8 years. It is a cruel genre for first-tiime writers, and the conditions of the market don’t help, either. Would like to correspond with you, but not in this forum.

Tero:

It’s a possibility but I generally prefer that if people want to give me money directly, they go and buy my books.

Re: advertising — have you thought about having a fund drive for Whatever? For example for a week during which readers have the opportunity to contribute towards the hosting costs of the site?

Of course, it’s a little trouble setting it up, but at best it might carry the costs for a good while and not having to go throught the hassle of setting up the ads; and at worst it would just mean you might do the ad thing a couple of weeks later.

Well, I’ve not been seeing new stuff from here in days, so I popped by, saw some new stuff that isn’t being seen with Bloglines, which is reporting an error with the feed (funny, my browser loads it just fine…), and just told them that they are showing errored feeds that are actually working. Since the big blow out a couple of days ago, they may still be working on getting the spiders and squirrels up to speed yet.

But I usually LOVE surprises…
I guess you just don’t know anything about me at all John. This relationship just can’t work.
