Delving into E-Publishing
Since I have had the experience of self-publishing, I only thought it proper and wise to try e-publishing. Let’s face it; no matter what route you chose, you must market your own work. This is all with no guarantees of success.
I don’t want to go with an online self-publisher. Going into a volatile market in the hole is just plain foolish. The idea is to make money, not try to recoup a loss. I will work for my earnings, but not starting with a deficit. Such an ugly word.
I’ve done some research. Next time, I’ll share some preliminary leads about publishing.
I Didn’t Do It; I Swear!
If you’re looking for a way to get rid of a small one, Tell A Lie Day may be just the holiday you’ve been waiting for. I suppose in a way, it recognizes human nature whether or not anyone agrees.
We all tell lies on occasion. Can anyone say he lied when his girlfriend asked if she was fat? Or did you not tell your mom that her recipe was good despite the fact it made you want to gag? I can forgive little white lies to spare someone’s feelings–as long as the truth doesn’t come out later. Of course, a lie with anything but noble reasons behind it fails in comparison.
Lies have made an important impact on history. Who can forget Richard Nixon’s famous lies or his quote, “I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.” Or how about German Baron Münchausen and his tales of riding cannonballs? Not too many people can brag of having two mental disorders named after them, Münchausen Syndrome and Münchausen Syndrome By Proxy.
Law enforcement is well-acquainted with the cost of lying. Perhaps any potential criminal should take this quote by Roman rhetorician, Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, to heart:
“A liar should have a good memory.”
Even back in Roman times, people knew the score. Today, stories of criminals with bad memories provides a treasure trove of stories for shows like “America’s Most Wanted.” Lies are good for the moment, but they have a very short lifespan.
