Written during a meeting that I thought was getting a little Dr Suess.
I must write
the application
for migration
of the registration.
It causes much
frustration
to administration
due to variation
of information.
The instantiation
of duplication
creates anticipation
of emancipation.
So, like many ebook writers/publishers, my work is being pirated. It’s not in my nature to get overexcited about this, as I have a day job so I’m able to pay my bills. Plus, the majority of my scribblings are available for free online already. You could be quite tired of me as a writer long before you approach work you have to pay for, but I do appreciate anyone who throws a couple of bucks at keeping up with my newer work.
Part of me is pleased at at least my writing is being read. I write mostly for myself, but I put it out there to be shared, to entertain, maybe even enlighten if I’m really on my game. On the other hand, it is my dream to someday shake off this day job to lose myself in new worlds of my own construction. In this limbo, I simply don’t have the time or concentration necessary to dedicate to that.
However, there are a lot of writers who do count on their royalty checks and advances to put food on their table, pay their mortgage or rent—to live on.
I’m not blogging to judge anyone who pirates. That would be extremely hypocritical. I’m definitely guilty of being between jobs and mooching music and movies. But, if the entertainment touched me, when I had a job, I’d pony up a few bucks to have a legal copy. So, if a story touches you, please consider throwing a couple of sheckles to the author by purchasing the ebook.
So, we had a really cute review on Bedknobs and Beanstalks from Tam’s Reads. If you haven’t picked the book up and have been thinking about it, it’s still $1.79 for the ebook. I don’t know when this sale will end, but if you thought you’d missed it, you didn’t!
Now, on to things to amuse. Boyd Holbrook (one of my favorite male models) showed up in a Nifty Fifty article in the Style Magazine portion of the New York Times. I knew he’d got a bit part in “Milk” but did you know he got that part by sending a screenplay he’d written to Gus Van Sant? Did you know he was filming a tv series? Yeah, there were a lot of surprises, so it’s well worth a look. I’m pretty excited to see how he expresses himself. Been seeing him in photographs and what the modeling world makes of him. I can’t wait to see him turn the camera back around. And, he is using those acting classes he was taking, too!
