Robert P. Fittons e-zine in Stationery Business Directory
from a friends suggestion an idea is born. How about selling my novels on the web? He tells me all stops must be pulled to have my work recognized. I balk at such a suggestion. Yet, if its possible, the idea of getting my work out there for people to read is an intriguing thought. But can it be done? How is it done? I meet with a Internet provider and the cash register dings inside my head with each service needed. What does a web designer do for $85 an hour? Probably a good job. Probably a real good job. And formatting is an extra as well as hosting charges and linking with the web effectively-and purchasing the credit card software. How in blazes does that all work? I go home, not experiencing writers block, but net block. No way, without the slightest idea of what hyper-links, bars and banners are, can I pull this one off. My friend has prepared a hyper-link and a sample web page, but the message is fouled up on E-mail. Hell try again tomorrow. Like a scene wrap up, the course crystallizes in my mind. I decide to purchase web page software, but get buyers remorse before I even buy the bloody thing. I study the graphics and things you can do with the contents of the CD inside. I hem and I haw and finally buy the web page construction kit. I explain to my friend it will take months just to read this web page instruction book, but I compulsively keep glancing at the sections and am afraid Ill short circuit my hard drive. My friends constructed prototype hyper-link arrives via e-mail.
