Projects for the Near Future

Things are going to start changing at MattShawBlog.com — for the better, as always — and I thought I might share some of the things going on right now, since a lot of you are asking what I have time for. So here goes.

Professional

  • I’m beginning what will inevitably be a long and storied engagement with Digitas in the very near future, so I’m giving myself a week to break in the new digs.
  • The Inbound Marketing Summit is a week from today. (Have you gotten tickets yet?) Barring a natural disaster, I’ll be there. Let me know if you’re going, too, so we can try to meet up.
  • Scouting designers for (A) a website redesign, and (B) an eBook design. (Know of any? Hook a brother up.)
  • Final arrangements for Phase II of the website.
  • Growing my social web; participating more; turning down time into social time; etc.
  • Developing the video aspect of the blog (after a failed attempt earlier this month).

Personal

  • I’m trying out Julien Smith’s 30 Days of Home Cooking diet styling (on Day 2), and liking it so far.
  • Trying to find trustworthy editors for my pitch package. Want to volunteer your services? I’m all ears!
  • Eventually going to have to sift through Writer’s Digest, that monolith, to find an agent and/or publishing house that I really like. Amazing how few of them even have websites.
  • Have to figure out a better way of managing near- and long-term goals. Free version of Basecamp isn’t going to cut it forever.
  • Reconnect with friends from high school. I don’t know why, but that’s seemed important recently.

There’s a whole bunch of family stuff in here, too, but you don’t care about any of that. Oh, and I left some really huge chunks out, too, because they wouldn’t be surprises if I told everyone about them.
