I’ve been away from the blog for the past few months. Boy, I tell ya, it’s been quite a ride. A lot of changes in my life – one of them being, in addition to writing about facets of the creative arts, I’ve started offering organizing tips/help to people.

I’ve actually been helping authors, actors, and others, get (and stay) organized for a few years now.  An author friend said, “You could write tips and a book on organizing,” and I thought, “Well yeah, I could.”  So I’m in the process of putting together a book on organizing for creative people.  Since we’re all creative in one form or another, I think I’ve pretty much got all the bases covered.

If you have any organizing tips you want to share, email them to me at woyt@earthlink.net.  If I use them in the book, I’ll give you credit and we can share reciprocal links. (Assuming your site doesn’t deal with hate, porn, or other stuff like that.)

In the organizing spirit (which we all need especially for the holidays),    see my page.

Also, to keep everything less stressful (and stay organized) in this hectic season, I have to tell you about a book I bought.

I know a guy who’s an Apple-certified trainer and editor. He’s edited trailers for Disney.  He’s been the Director of Photography on many shoots.  He wrote a manual called, “How To Shoot Better Camcorder Videos-Help from the Hollywood Pros.”

I was able to preview a few pages, and knew I’d better buy it BEFORE all the festivities start.  This book will help you create shots and movies that people will enjoy. And because it’s been a tough year for a lot of people, he’s keeping the price low for awhile.  But don’t think that this book isn’t worth much much more.

If you get it, let me know what you think.
