The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

A Note from the Author

I am, first and foremost, a musician. Writing a book was great, but I desperately want you to hear my music so I don’t lose track of myself. I made a playlist of all the songs used/mentioned in this book, and I threw in a special “welcome to my actual life” page of my website for those of you who have just read this book without having any idea who I am or what my songs sound like. It all started with the Art Itself, and I hope the book leads you back there.

The playlist is free—you can take it, or pay what you want:

The page also has a gallery of book-related pictures, and links to the artists mentioned in this book. And a link to the blogs that relate to the story, and my current blog. And, duh, the Email List of Gold.

The story continues. Come along.

Oh, and these guys: Neil Gaiman is at neilgaiman.com (and he’s @neilhimself on Twitter). Anthony Martignetti is at camstories.net (there’s some great free recordings of Anthony reading his memoir there. He’s also @dramartignetti).
