Karmaic Balance

I am a pretty firm believer in the power of karma.  I think I have avoided so many accidents in my car because I'm a courteous driver.  Things in this vain, et cetera.

Today I tried to contact a fellow I knew in college.  We were in IFS together (International Film Society, for all you acronym lovers)  He's a pretty cool cat, very witty, very into paranormal.  He sometimes interviews/takes pictures with famous horror movie figureheads.  I think it's pretty impressive how far he's taken his love of the genre.

I know I need to network for my book, but it's really hard to do.  It's not what I am particularly interested in doing.  I want to write.  I want to have my product available to entertain others.  I love the business side of it, but for now, I want to focus on the production side.

So anyway, I contacted him with the hopes that in exchange for a digital ARC, he'll review my book (for better or for worse) on his blog, and on Amazon where I suspect it will be posted.  Then I clicked send on the e-mail, with much trepidation.  Will he answer me back?  Probably, like I said, he's a cool cat.  Will he do it?  I have no idea.  We honestly haven't talked much since graduation.

Then, not five minutes later I struck up a conversation with an ex-professor and friend of mine from that self-same college.  Incidentally enough, she was my Marketing professor.  We talked a little about my book finishing up this month and hopefully being available soon.  Then, surprise of surprises, she asked if I would like to become a client of her Promotional Marketing class.  She thinks my book would be a great way to get them started (Google is apparently giving them $200 in adwords credit).

I am absolutely way excited about that, so of course I said YES!

I had another 9 hour day at work, but right now I am feeling quiet content <3
