Getting pen to paper. or fingers to keyboard...

Recently i've realised..i opened my etsy shop to sell my books and i havn't even listed one yet. I've let all my written works take a back seat in my etsy doings and tried to be a bit like everyone else on etsy, listing my prints and my plushies instead. Decided its finally time to get all my written stuff sorted and listed, i need to re-write the ending for "My Green eyed Fish" seeing as it went missing for some reason and to get re-writing "Book boy and Glasses Girl" as i lost most of it when my computer was wiped. I'm also thinking of starting a zine, not sure how to go about creating them though, i know alot of people use their home printers but i wouldn't be sure how to go about it so any tips are welcome?
I'm just so ready to get back to writing, i wanted to be a writer ever since i was little, ever since i can remember and it just seems wrong thats not what i'm doing, so watch this space and my blog, some stuff should be up soon!

Etsy Addicts Anonymous Project

Etsy. Lets face it, we're all addicted in some way or form. I pesonally rush home from my day job and jump right into the forums to catch up on what i've missed or i sit and browse through all the wonderful wonderful things to buy...sometimes i even make a list to buy when my money comes through.

Recently i've thought about starting something up, there's so many great things going on at the moment, the Secret peace buddy swap, The Uk Supplies swap, The Etsy Journal and much much more! And lately everyone is discussing how darn addictive good ole etsy is and so...i've dreamed up, The Etsy Addicts Anonymous Project.

What is it?
The Etsy Addicts Anonymous Project is a huge contribution project, especially great for promotion (of etsy and its sellers) and for Etsy Addicts. I plan for it to be full of Pieces from fellow etsyians.

Whats in it?
How to pages - Fancy sharing one your great makes or a specialist process? Show us step by step in the how to pages

Featured sellers pages - Never been on the front page (or maybe you have) dying to be asked questions a plenty for the world to see, the featured sellers pages are for you!

Treasury Pages - Submit your favourite item from your etsy shop to be put into one of five treasury pages (even better these treasuries wont run out after 2 days!)

Etsy Addiction pages - Share your Etsy addiction stories or ideas to keep you away from Etsy!

Motivational pages - Anything to help motivate people to create, perhaps a page with just one word, perhaps a page full of random words, a photograph, a piece of art, a story ANYTHING AT ALL.

How do i become a part of it?
Simply send me an e-mail at coin.operated_boy@hotmail.co.uk letting me know what you have in mind and what section you'd like to be in, Obviously there will be limits to how pages we have in each section, so far i'm thinking:
20 how to pages
10 featured seller pages
5 treasury pages (with nine blocks in each)
5 Etsy addiction pages
15 motivational pages
When does it start?
5th May 2007 (today) to 1st June 2007
Where will it be available?
I plan to sell copies in my shop at cost (the cost of printing and shipping) so there will be no profift to me, i hope to be able to create options for other sellers to be able to sell the book in their own stores as well.
interested? drop me a comment or an e-mail.
Questions? feel free to do the same.
