Those of us in the older generation grew up with the icons of writing hardwired to our brains. Agent, publisher, bestseller, fame and fortune. The only thing we can count on in life is change, and if anything changes with the times, it the publishing/writing world. If you think about it, its the nature of the beast, otherwise, it'd be one boring place to be.<BR/>But a writers strongest asset is the ability to adapt. I am a relative beginner to this world of writing, but I learned this and I learned it fast. Keep an open mind, try anything you can, even if it scares you, never sacrifice success to your fears and keep on trying. Dori, I started my own blog just a few months ago and I thought I'd have nothing to say, but it turns out, I have lots to say. Getting people to read and comment will come in time. I hate to be corny but as the movie said, Build and he will come, so in this case, tell it well and the readers will come.Karynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265664252817615171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674292954720931964.post-81949753653116269232008-10-01T09:25:00.000-07:002008-10-01T09:25:00.000-07:00Dori, I sympathize with you about trying to unders...Dori, I sympathize with you about trying to understand the latest lingo, the newest abbreviations. But there is hope in the form of the very system we have so much trouble with. Check out www.netlingo.com or www.webopedia.com for the latest texting mystery word or the latest tech lingo. I still stumble on something on a blog but now I know where to go to find the info. <BR/>As for the publishing industry I have also learned you have to be flexible when it comes to such a fluid system. There will alway be readers for writers. If the readers want something strong enough then the process will change. Like everything else it just may take a while.June Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409719209889857827noreply@blogger.com
