Introducing the Evolvor.com Contributing Authors Program

As someone who is heavily involved in the digital music realm, one of the things that becomes a challenge is staying on top over everything – between the 40-50 hours per week working on almost every aspect of the web, from coding and technical issues, writing and editing, doing research, setting up schedules and budgets, emailing, chatting on IM, wasting time on Facebook, and maybe getting to my 300+ subscription blogroll, there’s a ton of information out there for one to consume and digest.

When people talk about writing that a book, many do so only jokingly. Few ever have the time, patience, and gusto to actually pick up a pen and start writing.

And it’s these people who I would encourage to start blogging, about their hobby, their career, or their passion. A few years later, I’ll be the first to point out that they’ve actually written that book without even thinking about it.
