Catch all, Part 1
Aug. 7th, 2004 12:42 amCatch all, tonight.
Well, okay, a buch of excuses, and then catch-all.
I actually do this for fun. No, honestly, I've been enjoying this immensely. I'm thinking out loud, and my thought processes are over-focused, repetitive, and digressive (if that's a word). I'm happy to do this until the cows come home (which is one of those phrases that makes no sense, considering that I don't own cows. Or maybe it does, in that it implies that I don't shut up). One of the high points of Confluence, for me, was talking to Sally Kobee about -- you guessed it! -- bookselling. I sort of wish I could drag Alice Bentley into this as well, because she certainly saw things about the industry that I did -- but also has her own take, and she does LJ. Or Tom Whitmore. Then again, they may not like to go on at length.
I've been using these posts as a spur to get real writing done; wordage first, LJ post later. I answer quick comments as I can during the day. But having done my writing for the evening, I'm about to launch into answers for a bunch of disparate questions.
