Blissfully Domestic

Funny Questions that arrived in my email over the past few days-

1) Are you sick? Why aren’t you posting?

Not sick, just slammed. Finishing book, preparing massive relaunch of Blissfully Domestic, planning for BlissDom has taken over my life. Between this and family life, I barely have time to think. I’m playing catch up and next week will have room to breathe.

2) When is BlissDom?

BlissDom, otherwise known as the best chick’s event ever, will be February 4th – 6th. Save the date and sign up for updates on the conference site.  No more details yet. To avoid the flood of attendees, speakers, sponsors before we are ready, Barbara and I are carefully releasing details. BlissDom Alumnae and Blissfully Domestic writers will be given special VIP registration before the public. The BlissDom mailing list and One2One Network members will also receive special registration opportunities before the public.

Sorry to be so cryptic, we want to make sure it is all done perfectly. Just know it is February and will be fabulous.

The conference will be a wee bit bigger, however, Barbara and I are planning the event strategically to keep that intimate feel. So many of us have such an emotional attachment to the event, attendees and speakers alike, that keeping the special feel and loving vibe are very important.

BlissDom is all about community, finding your blogging bliss (your voice), and building real connections with other fabulous women. That will never, ever change, I promise.

3) Can I speak?

We will soon send out the BlissDom survey to the mailing list members. After that we will be accepting proposals for topics and speakers.

4) Are you done with the Twitter book yet?

Almost! I keep adding things. You know how ebooks often are full of filler and disappointing? Yeah, not this one. It has been four months in the making and I am so pleased. My mom and grandma are testing the beginner section now. If they can get it, only using the book, then I am ready to launch.  I’m waiting til they show me their “neato” custom tweetdeck search columns for tracking hurricanes and grocery coupons. My opus will be complete.

4) Why do you think an ebook is a good thing. Why not a real book?

I was approached during and after Blogher about that. It comes down to business. The book is full of colorful diagrams, screenshots and step by step tutorials. The cost in stores would be high because of the nature of the project.

Also, with all my projects, I give to a charity. I will be giving 10% of all sales to Compassion. Their work with many of my friends opened my eyes to the plight of children living in poverty worldwide. If you are not yet a sponsor, I urge you to check out their work.

5)Which episode of Seinfeld was your favorite?

Ok, so no one asked. I just can’t help but laugh. Anyone who calls me hears me answer the phone with, “Hellllooooooo.” Now you all know why.

6) Why don’t you say something about the MommyBlogger drama? Do you care?

It’s all been said. Any more comments would just cause more pain and drama. It just makes me sad.

And, yes, I am keeping a very close eye on it all.

7) Is Blissfully Domestic accepting new writers?

Yep. Please drop us a quick note here.

8 ) Will you please be so kind as to help my brother get 30 million out of the first bank of Nairobi, and give me your credit card number for assistance?

No.

Do these ever work?

I think I covered it all. My email is out of control. If you have emailed and I have not replied, it’s not you. It’s me. Seriously.

What else, Y’all, what is on YOUR mind?
