GREAT PR TIP--WEBSITE 4 U!
I got this tip from Amy Peters, the Queen of PR in my world.

She posted recently about Bill Stoller's website, http://www.publicityinsider.com/ and I checked it out today.

In a word--awesome!

At first I had doubts. It looks like all those other ohmigod thisisthemotherlode websites.

But as I started reading his stuff, I noticed 1) He's covered everything I've found to be true in my own PR efforts; 2) He covers stuff I've never run across before and 3) He's fun to read! Breezy, funny, to-the-point and easy to get.

I rarely recommend something like this unless I honestly, truly feel it's solid stuff. Then I'm happy to help out that person/business by getting the word out. And happy to point other people to them.

I highly recommend checking out his website for ideas on how to get some buzz going about your art.

What I REALLY liked was, he stresses that there's got to be something there to buzz about. I see a lot of people trying to create success for themselves out of not-very-much-real-work.

Do the work. Then go for the buzz!

I sprang for the newsletter, I was so impressed with what I was reading. (Sprung for the newsletter?? My dictionary says either, but I dunno...neither sounds right.)

If you like what you see at the site, do me a favor--mention my name. But remind him that I found him through Amy Peters.

Not affiliated--just a happy new customer.

ONE NEW THING I LEARNED TODAY
I've cleared two surfaces in my studio! Very small surfaces, to be sure, but progress is inevitable...

I have always cheerfully defended my filing system, which consists of a multitude of "piles" on every available surface. I usually know roughly which "pile" something is in, and about how far down it is. Unless I've recently gone through the pile looking for something else.

Today I learned that piles cannot be piled indefinitely. At some point, the pile plane tilts off the horizontal and everything falls to the floor.

This is a signal that the PILE has to be really be FILED. In those charming metal cabinets I have so many of.

(I do know from experience that the busiest file used today will be the circular one....)

Wish me luck!
