What is this?
It's Bill Peschel's professional and personal home on the web. Welcome. Poke around in the drawers and cupboards. There's a lot of interesting stuff here.
What's the Reader's Almanac?
It's my 2008-2009 nonfiction book project. A year's worth of entertaining and thought-provoking stories and anecdotes about writers and their books, tied to the day they occurred. Published regularly. Here's a list of the essays published so far.
Why is it on the web?
I don't have an agent or a contract, so this is my way of building an audience, and seeing if there's any interest in the book. The daily deadlines don't hurt, either.
Are you going to write anything else here?
Sure. The occasional book review, a collection of links to neat articles and websites, and my opinions. You know, the usual stuff you find on the web.

Why Don’t You Take A Stress Pill, Bill, And Relax …


Except that it was awfully hard to do that when you try to upgrade the site to Expression 1.5 and have it return an unfathomably dense error message, when your wife brings your son home, groggy from the oral surgeon and minus three wisdom teeth. Then, there's a lot of running around with bloody gauze, and telephone calls, and the site looking like it had been hacked by script kiddies.

So now I'm back to 1.4.2 and hitting the cold compresses. I think it's all back to normal, but I'm going to have to set aside an hour or so to try the upgrade again, only this time not when I just posted a few entries.

Time to go. Son needs his icepack changed.
