Hi,
I want to wish you guys all a happy New Year and for all of my fans and people who have ever read or commented on my book I have to thank you for the Gold Leaflet writer of the decade award,it has meant so much to me.
I am trying to get all of my full time Cobaltians (I thought I'd try that word out) to write blogs whether or not they are public so I am setting a good examples. I just think writing is a good thing for everyone to do . . . it makes us re-examine what happens to us or a better way of getting emotions written out.
With the attention from the Writer of the Decade Award, our little company has gotten a lot of attention so I have been working a lot. As a matter of fact I am writing this while eating lunch at my desk because my other co-workers are so busy.
One thing I have not really blogged about is one of my new--old friends, writer Erik Vance. He and I grew up together and I was very surprised to learn he was a writer as well and a pretty good one on top of it. So, yes I have finally pulled more testosterone into Cobalt but, really it's been great having someone to talk about the crazy things we have done. I know that I sometimes feel disconnected from who I was in Pennsylvania because I have nothing to go back there for.
I will probably post more about Erik's work later.
If you guys have any thing you would like me or anyone at Cobalt to blog about you can drop a not to Jill (jlambertonpr@aol) or Greta. Seriously there are no boundaries. I may blog about my new projects next.
And yes, the commenting feature is turned off. Just to keep the peace.
About Me
- Joel
- Hi,everybody I'm Joel Baker. When I was young,newlywed and extremely broke I decided to write I book. I remember writing it in this tiny apartment while watching my two-year old daughter. Well, a few years later that book was called Her Eyes, it was published and sold like 3 copies. I quit writing to do better by my wife and went work as a police officer but, when I was put on disability I started writing again and have become mildly successful. I'm 31 right now, live outside L.A I spend most of my time writing books or working on a column for LA Magazine. I have 10 beautiful children ( 4 adopted, a set of quadruplets and 2 biological . . . but, I can hardly tell the difference these days.) When I'm not writing I'm probably reading, watching the occasional episode of One Tree Hill or working at a bar I bought a couple years back. While my life is pretty awesome right now I have dealt with violence, substance abuse, alcoholism and other family issues but, right know I am doing pretty good.
