Writing for me was as important a spritual practise as meditation.<BR/><BR/>Thing of it is, writing is peculiar practise in that to do it seriously is also presumptively an attempt to communicate.<BR/><BR/>In my case, I worked for decades on a nonfiction book to run straight into the reality that the publishing industry has gone bottom line. No "platform" means no getting your non fiction book published. So now I'm debating whether to post a miniaturized version of it as the second half of the blog I've undertaken.<BR/><BR/>Better that maybe 30 people read it, or parts of it here and there, than no one - I guess... Because in the back of your mind, you hope that after your're dead maybe the publishing scene, and a business world that puts increasing profit year after year above all other gods, will somehow change.Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456843848141315800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25799295.post-1146727282943302092006-05-04T04:21:00.000-03:002006-05-04T04:21:00.000-03:00HI HeidiI am looking at your blog tonight and I am...HI Heidi<BR/><BR/>I am looking at your blog tonight and I am stunned to see what a different woman you are now.

A very good and true quote on your blog today, and vis voice reminds me of another quote, "art saves lives" which is so very timely for me.
