I've spent a little of my time out on Red River St. giving out handbills for my books. I haven't been able to hand out all that many, but I'm very happy with the results. The main thing that I'm happy about is my willingness to get out there and hustle. I think that my books deserve a bigger audience than they currently have, but with no book deal with a publisher, I have to take matters into my own hands. I'm glad that I believe enough in what I do to take things to another level.
I met someone affiliated with a motion picture company tonight. He said that he'd get back with me in a few weeks. I don't know how genuine he was, and if he's reading this now I hope that that last statement doesn't offend, but I just have no earthly idea, for real. I think that he appreciated the fact that I'm willing to hit the streets for my art. At least I hope that was why he took the handbill. Don't know if I'll hear from him, but I never would have been in contact with him if I relied solely on things like social media and whatnot.
Like I said, I haven't handed out all that many handbills these last two nights, but I'm sure motivated to get out there again soon enough. I was inspired by a story about Daniel Johnston I read a few years ago that said he did the same kind of thing to promote his early shows. Sure there's some rejection, but it's not like one hundred percent rejection, so I'm very inspired to go out again.
