*WHEW..IT’S NICE TO SLOW DOWN..

I don’t have any convention/signings/whatever til Mocca in New York in June. I hope to set up a signing in Boston, too…

*EMAIL OF THE WEEK!!
My gal and I are reading your book and laughing our ass off right now.

By the way, did i ever tell you that I make a living writing because of you?
I originally gave away all i knew from making DIY or DIE on a website called “99-cent film school”.
I had a 20-page document and let people download it free.
I had a paypal icon and encouraged them to tip me 99 cents.
2000 people downloaded it, and not one person tipped me 99 cents.

Then I remembered what you said in DIY or DIE, that “people don’t appreciate stuff they get for free.”

That’s when I learned to write a proposal, and wrote one for $30 Film School.

I’ve since put out six books.
$30 Film School sold 20,000 copies and the second edition just came out.

You effing rock sir.
Call me some time and let’s rap.
