    The jig’s up. Some of my students have found this blog and are asking about it. You over there, hop to. See that mop in the corner, start swabbing the decks. We have to appear like we’re doing important stuff here; the future captains of the writing industry are watching. Man, it could use some dusting too.

    One student asked what Spiritual Wanderer was all about and I told him that was the toughest question to answer. How do you explain, and not look like a goofball, that sometimes weird stuff happens to you? How do you recount the streetlight thing or the socket wrench appearance and still maintain credibility? It’s like writing a Facebook status update while drunk and waking up the next morning to find 28 comments and 7 “likes” about your diarrhea. And why, pray tell, would anyone buy a book that highlights your dog’s poop?

    Another student let me know Spiritual Wanderer is available for 610 rupees in India, (by the way, that’s a 12 rupee discount doncha know). So let’s pick up the pace here gang. Rumor has it there may be some e-book news coming up so until then and until we can get a more photo/video/graphics friendly platform going here maybe we can all pitch in and at least sweep up a bit. The future’s watching.
