So I just finished catching up on my blog reading. As several of you know I recently wrot emy first novel and I'm currently working on number two. I thought several times about posting on here about NaNoWriMo and why it's cool, or giving you an update on my horrible progress. In the end I decided that most of you either don't care about NaNo or already know all about it. So why waste your time talking about it. If I posted an update it would just be embarrassing (I don't recommend starting over on day five, it's not pretty).
So why am I suddenly breaking my rule about the writing talk on my blog? Because I read this: http://editorialass.blogspot.com/2008/11/crash-flow-or-what-went-wrong-in.html
It was on a blog that I like to read. She's an editor and talks a lot about the publishing industry. This post she did on all ecomonic results of October on the publishing industry made me very sad. She's very right that all of us that love book and hope to ever have a future in the industry needs to do something.
I personally plan to take my splurge money out to the book store today and buy a book. Maybe two. I just had a birhtday and there is a whole list of books I want right now, so why not use this weekend to do my part. I encourage all of you to go buy a book. Any book. Help save the future of printing! It just might help out yours truely someday too, I know I'd apperciate it!
