After years of watching my friends from the blogs and from elsewhere courageously and tenaciously putting their work out for the world to read, I've decided to finally do it too.
So, I'm preparing a collection of tales - most of them have appeared on this blog but there are also a few new longer ones. I hope to have them published in October.
As you can see, I'm working with the printed book template.
I love my Kindle. It’s with me everywhere I go.
It’s my treasure box. A treasure box that is starting to become chaotic.
That is starting to resemble a little black hole.
I’m not patient enough to be super-organized. I
have close to 400 books on the Kindle itself and probably at least 200
others in the ‘cloud’. However, I have many times more printed books. I know exactly what printed books I have and where they are, on which shelf, in which room. The Kindle ones not so much.
I know e-books are the future. Or at least a very big part of the future. For writers they are convenient. Easy to get them out. Better royalties. Maybe other advantages that I'm not aware of. For readers too they are convenient, especially these days
when everything is about instant gratification. I want a book. Click
and I have it. No need to wait for Amazon to send it or to go to the
bookstore.
But then, what happens to all these e-books? How do they endure through time?
I'll prepare the Kindle version later but, for now, I would really like
to give this book a chance to live on paper, at least for a little
while.
