Those who know me mostly see the upbeat, almost to the point of perky, side of me. I’m everybody’s cheerleader in a business which is rife with rejection and disappointment — at ALL levels.
Today was errand day, as is my usual Saturday. But I added an additional stop to my normal Saturday running around; a beauty supply place.
I’ve been having a bit of an off week… you know the kind. Nothing really wrong, but not feeling quite 100%, the day job a little tough to take. Yet there were bright spots to the week, like getting a text message from my friends Drew and Branli about getting together for coffee as they passed by my workplace. So not all bad, not all good, just not feeling quite myself.
Today I had a friend forward one of those emails. We all get them. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they make you think, and sometimes they fill your heart.
This is how I felt when I heard this morning that Amazon.com had a book available for sale on Kindle that goes against the grain of moral and ethical decency.
I want to start by saying I find the banning of books abhorrent in every way. Along with so many others, this is a post I never thought I’d write.
It is nice to be able to celebrate the good news of a friend, and I am very happy to say that we have reason to celebrate. The landscape of publishing is changing, in particular with the advent of the ebook, and self-publishing is increasingly becoming a viable option, and one which is beginning to grow legs as a door opener for other opportunities, as Boyd Morrison proved with his book The Ark, as was discussed in previous post Who Needs a Publisher Anyway?
When I was young, I had a notebook for writing music and on the cover was an eagle carrying a branch in it’s claws with a banner beneath it stating Banned in Boston. This sparked my awakening to banning, not only to music, but in all of its forms.
Let’s talk about banned books. The practice of banning or challenging books has been around for a long time. It is appalling to me, with as far as we have stretched the boundaries of knowledge, there are still factions which exist to limit…
There are days I feel like I was born to procrastinate. I can be very good at it if I want to be. Anything and everything can serve as a distraction for the work I should be doing.
