Awesome-tacular!

Check this out!

I clicked on the ‘brad stanley photography’ one, and the second major google entry that comes up is … my site! Sweet! Also that particular one mentions JMundie’s photography site, which is cool (and here).

This is both awesome and creepy. Awesome because mine is the first! Creepy because holy cow would you look at all the other ones? I mean, sure Brad Pitt is a buff, good looking dude … but weird. I’m thankful his name is not Brad Stanley or I’d never have a shot of making it on Google.

And yes, I’m a big enough tool that I search my name to see how I’m doing on Google. What can I say, I want to get published (did you know that?), and that takes dumb luck. And my dumb luck increases with every visit!

Thanks everyone who has visited, please keep doing so, and tell folks about my site!!!

Question for Everyone! (not a story or poem or anything)

Hello!, this is just a repeat of the excerpt but …

I think I’m going to pay to get a domain name – any suggestions?

I’m leaning toward getbradstanleypublished.com

It’s long but it’s direct, gets the point across and gets my name out (which I feel is important?).

PLEASE let me know what you think. No matter who you are or if we haven’t talked, etc.

About This Site

My name is Brad Stanley. I would very much love to have a book (or two even) published. Really published. So that if you asked a clerk at a store about me they would say, “uhh … who?,” and when they looked me up they’d find a book (or three even). This is a pretty tough goal. With this site, I’m hoping to drum up some fans to spread the word (fans OUTside my family).

I want you – whoever you are – to read this, and if you like any of the stories/poems/whatevers TELL YOUR FRIENDS! If you have helpful comments (not liking my writing is helpful if you have a legitimate reason why) email me or post a comment!

My hope with this is that you (odds are the ‘you’ reading this is my mother) will visit, and then you’ll get a friend to visit, and so on and so on until one of Ellen’s interns visits. And, maybe, just maybe, that intern will be drunk and fall in love with my writing. And then that intern will allow me to bribe him or her to talk me up to Ellen.

I have a few different categories below – check them out. It’s pretty safe to assume that everything on this site is pretty tongue-in-cheek, lighthearted, goofy, etc.

If you have any questions/comments (negative feedback is feedback, insults make me cry) please email me at: getbradstanleypublished@gmail.com

Hope you enjoy it!

Also, stop by regularly, I’ll be adding something new once a week.
