The part we write...ahhh the future of STORYTELLING. The part we writers have some control over. It's really like all of human behavior--we can only control our own. So, with our writing, we are in charge of striving to write beautiful sentences, paragraphs, stories, and books. What others do with them is not as important as our undying love of the craft. Thanks for this great post, River!Susan Cushmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513534110522851590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917245635820611026.post-34436616036335810082010-01-06T09:51:15.939-05:002010-01-06T09:51:15.939-05:00Kathleen it was a pleasure to be there with you.

It was great to be there with you and also Philip Lee Williams, Steve Savage, Raymond Atkins, William Rawlings Jr, Jackie Cooper, and more. Those were all great and thought provoking panels. See you in Birmingham soon!<br /><br />Lou - I think having a Kindle would be wonderful. Or at least I'd love to have one and decide if I liked it. Can you rent one of those? ALso the Apple device is getting a lot of attention of course before the launch. Glenda thanks for reading. We are really the bridge generation I think between what was and what will be. And Yes, time to hoard the hardbacks!River Jordanhttp://www.riverjordan.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917245635820611026.post-31861981122088554272010-01-06T09:05:44.216-05:002010-01-06T09:05:44.216-05:00Glad to read the comments of a fellow panel partic...Glad to read the comments of a fellow panel participant!

While many of us dig our heels in against the new technology of publishing, it is coming as surely as the sun rises tomorrow morning, and those who ignore it will be left behind. But,oh, how I love "real" books.I applaud your collecting first editions for your children and grandchildren.Glenda Council Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778241689968750316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917245635820611026.post-60418663338856304102010-01-06T00:15:17.172-05:002010-01-06T00:15:17.172-05:00A wistfully positive perspective that was eloquent...A wistfully positive perspective that was eloquently written. As an avid reader since a young age, who is now 48, I share much the same feelings about books. Last year I was given a Kindle for my birthday and surprisingly fell in love with it. While I will always have a sentimental attachment to actual books, I am also excited about the possibilities technology can bring to the reading experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307779805112217100noreply@blogger.com
