Another day — a long one, as they are this time of year. Friday’s edition of Planet Waves Astrology News<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is just about done. We should be running right on time tomorrow so look for it at about 9 am in your inbox. I’m on triple duty this week — the monthly horoscopes are due with their respective editors; the monthly essay for Chronogram<\/em>; and I’m moving ahead on Cosmic Confidential<\/em>. This is an incredible amount of writing and obviously it has to be good.<\/p>\n

The way I handle this much work is, well, a few ways. One way is I start as many first drafts as early as I can. I’m doing this systematically with Cosmic Confidential<\/em>, creating the research file for each sign, reviewing the prior annuals for each sign and taking notes on them in pencil, and also reviewing the chapter for that sign in Esoteric Astrology<\/em>. In this process I print out and read all the reader comments and mine them for ideas. Basically I am looking for an angle for each sign, and giving myself ideas to expand on when I do the final drafts in December. I am more or less on schedule. The other strategy I’m using is my car and MacBook. I am traveling to a new place in the region every day and working in a different town and establishment or two. Yesterday I was in Hudson, NY. Today I went down to New Paltz, a college town, so I could flirt and socialize. I discovered a gluten free restaurant there. Not sure where I’ll go after Planet Waves comes out in the morning, but I will be ending up back in Hudson in the evening on a gig for the Yes Men; I am doing the Q and A sessions after their film showings in places I can get to but they can’t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The last thing I’m doing is enlisting the help of my fellow bloggers here, Len Wallick and Fe Bongolan. So you’ll be seeing more of their stuff on this page for the next seven weeks or so, but don’t worry, I won’t shut up.<\/p>\n

It’s 10:30 pm and I’ve sent Anatoly to bed — it’s about 5:30 am in the Ukraine where he puts together our webpages. We meet back up at about 8 am Eastern Time to do the final edits; he’s entered the corrections, which come in from our proofreader in LA, before I get up.<\/p>\n

Catch you in the morning with the new edition of Planet Waves Astrology News<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which has many new articles (including a last minute piece on the astrology of Lou Dobbs), and weekly horoscope 792. Dear readers, I know money is still tight for many of you, but we’re a great place to invest a little of it. We’re doing our best work ever, our team is strong and we have some amazing stuff planned. Your subscriptions make it all happen. Very few websites are able to do this! And there’s not another astrology site that we know of that offers the horoscope exclusively as a paid subscription. There’s a reason for that.<\/p>\n

Hey, I have a few extra copies of the 2010 Raphael’s Ephemeris<\/em> on my desk. I’ll send a copy to the next five people who sign up for a full year subscription, starting now — retroactive to 8 pm tonight.<\/p>\n

Good evening and catch you in the morning. And now it’s time for Jon Stewart, and playing in Book of Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
