Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Tomorrow I’m being interviewed about my book on a country station called KMPS. The DJ who’s interviewing me has a bio that includes the line Don drives a Chevy SSR roadster-pickup. Huh. This should be interesting!
Update: Interview went fine. It airs in about a month. I’ll letcha know!

I went to the monster truck show at the Tacoma Dome last weekend. Apparently you can be a “Ford fan” or “Chevy fan”.

THAT song. Is going to be in my head for all of eternity now. Forget fire and brimstone. That song and snow=my idea of hell. ; ) Good luck!

I was looking at the website to try to find out what time the interview is because I think it will be really funny. You’re probably being interviewed as a plug for their BridesClub.com (yuck) site, which, by the way, doesn’t list your OBB blog in their “wedding blogs” section. But they oughtta.

I want to know more about this interview - the backstory. Like why KMPS?

I have no backstory, Will — my publicist set it up. The DJ had a press release when he interviewed me, so I’m guessing my publicist just blanketed local media with pitches and KMPS decided to bite.

Watching the whole book release unfold is fascinating to me. I can see the stress in it, but also it seems like a lot of fun.

There’s very little stress in it for me. I’m a marketer. I’ve been waiting my whole life to sell this book!
This is something I’ll probably write more about.
Oh.

I will personally bust a gut if you become a celebrity primarily known among the Dixie Chicks demographic.
