Apple has finally closed down MobileMe. With it, my website has gone away. I must now decide if I'm going to continue with it, where I will continue and when. Since there were so few viewers (read: none) I haven't decided if I want to bother with it. It will be a challenge since iWeb, which I used to create it isn't compatible with any hosting site or tools. I'd have to start from scratch, which I usually enjoy but, honestly, I can't find a reason to continue it. Potential employment is what I tell myself but, again, the one now closed wasn't helping me with that. What to do, what to do...
Also, my publishing contract is about to expire. With the rights handed back over to me I can attempt a second printing at another publisher, self publish to, say, Apple's iBookstore, or just sell a digital copy of it. I could renew my contract and let it ride but being that it was not selling for the past couple years I don't see my publisher keeping the rights being any more advantageous.
So here I am, with nothing out there and a droll melancholy that just abuses the idea of sarcasm. It'd be nice to have a fan base right about now.

E-book self-publishing might be the way to go. Kerry Wilkinson, Amanda Hocking and others have self-published ebook bestsellers and parlayed that success into contracts with traditional publishers.
I wish you luck.
