I derive as much creative satisfaction from writing a good story as I do building a bookshelf from scratch or painting a room in multi-tone, textured colors. RE: the storm--No effects where I live but I think it's a bit over hyped. I lived in Bangkok, Thailand for several years and we used to get floods like that during the monsoon season all the time and blackouts happened year round. Still, I hope that people use common sense and nobody gets hurt or worse.John https://www.blogger.com/profile/14680903411394068312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429192322415915313.post-88786036694563553792012-10-29T13:34:29.757-07:002012-10-29T13:34:29.757-07:00I doubt the level of creative or artistic freedom ...I doubt the level of creative or artistic freedom in plumbing is the same as writing. Besides, there are other benefits to self publishing, as I described in an earlier post (http://bit.ly/Q82zrJ).<br /><br />I hope you and your family aren't suffering through the storm.<br /><br />Have fun.<br />GamalAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525554161335481694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429192322415915313.post-47761807964015583602012-10-26T20:16:28.379-07:002012-10-26T20:16:28.379-07:00No matter what you price your book at people will ...No matter what you price your book at people will rip it off and share it on Torrent. It's a sad time for artists, writers and musicians. I really don't think it's worth it anymore so I think I'll take up a trade that can't be hijacked like plumbing or taxidermy.John https://www.blogger.com/profile/14680903411394068312noreply@blogger.com
