What does that mean, actually? Does it mean that if you do
something wrong it will eventually return to bite you on the bum? More
positively, it had crossed my mind as being apposite because I recently
discovered that the publisher of my first 3 books is no more and that probably
means that any unsold copies are no more, too, and that suggests that the means
to produce any more of them also no longer exists.
As they have not exactly been selling like hot cakes for the
last few years, to my knowledge, does this mean that any surviving copies will
suddenly become sought after again, that their second-hand value will rocket
and that I am going to be pestered for a re-print, which I will obviously have
to resist in the interest of the purity of the original version over the potential
riches from as yet untapped new markets?
No, because I am now a blogger, with 46 blog entries
completed already and 2,000 visits to my blog clocked up only yesterday.
Gratification is so much more immediate this way, especially if someone makes a
comment – which they don’t, or tells their friends about it [no evidence of
this, happening either, to be honest].
No matter - I will continue to plough my lone furrow! I’m even going to
try to be more newsworthy in future, so please don’t go away. You probably
won’t hear it here first, but I won’t always be far behind and the value-added
component will hopefully make it worthwhile. The photos alone will surely be
worth a second or two of anyone’s time.
