Office Hours in Second Life

This Wednesday night, July 16th, I’ll be holding my Office Hours informal chat in Second Life. We’ll be at Third Life Books starting at 6 game time/Pacific time. We run an hour to an hour and a half. (The software and participation are free; see below.)

Tonight will be an open discussion about writing. We’ll likely hit the whole iPhone/iPod Touch and selling fiction in the Appstore deal. (Apple just added a “Books” category, so we’re broken back out of “Entertainment.” This is very cool.

Join us tonight for what’s going to be a lively chat.

Boilerplate below about Second Life. You can learn more at The Second Life web page. Check it out, download the software, and come on in and chat.

Second Life, for those who have never chatted online, is a graphical chat interface. It does not cost money to register or use. It operates on a “micro-economy” model, which is to say that you can uses it for free, but you can do a lot more if you just pay a little more here and there. I sell books in Second Life to cover the costs of promoting my work and having the space to hold seminars. Lots of other wildly creative people turn out really cool products to feed their habits, too.

If you hit the link above, download the software and head into Second Life, you can find me by searching for “Noble Charron.” That’s the name of my alter-ego in the world of SL. You can find the bookstore by searching on books, or ThirdLife, or clicking on this convenient link, which will take you directly there. When you arrive, please click on the sign at the front of Wordsmith Hall, so you can be added to the ThirdLife group, so I can get you announcements about things we will be doing.
