This e-book publishing is absolutely incredible!! I have lived a long time. I'm 70 and about to publish a first book with a small press. I've seen a lot, including the very old-fashioned typewriter to the electric one to the computer. No television in my life until I was 12; rotary phones--no cell phones, etc. etc. Sometimes it feels like my brain is going to explode from trying to learn all this new stuff, feed it all this new information. But I keep plugging away and except for Twitter (maybe I'll get this some day) it all sinks in step by step. With e-books I can afford to buy more books. Drummer Boy is one of your titles that intrigues me--the title. Titles ARE important.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm here to follow and learn.

I thought there was something just...Me too, Regge. I thought there was something just around 11:00 A.M. but had to dash off to church. When I came back, there were plenty of posts about writing, the latest being Friday, but not your's? <br /><br />As for your (Scott) post above, I'm not a writer, but have always held them in high regard. I love the clever turn of phrase, succinct yet vivid description, and humorous observations. Writers are writers because they have to be. They write even when they do not have an audience. If they want to share these writings with others outside their families and friends, they would have to get some other someone else to see that they were worthy or something. The few little essays that I have written, that I valued, were quite personal and would bring me to tears when reading them to others. Why is that? I would not self-publish for the very reason that it seems all too personal and frankly, it is a lot of work, and that is if I have a notion of my audience! I can't even imagine what it would be like to write to the world at large.<br /><br />I agree that this process, like most others, should be a giving process and not one of taking! Good writing tends to be on the order of a gift, and as a reader, I appreciate the gift. I think self-publishing, though possibly too open, just helps to tear down some of those barriers between people making it easier to literally get the word out. I know you are getting charged up by these developments and I'm rooting for you and the others who are finding this new found freedom.<br /><br />Jeff White.... whitejw@ameritech.netJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983751470185218775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-44443883389285535032010-11-13T09:01:14.016-08:002010-11-13T09:01:14.016-08:00it worked for http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com
