When Kissing Refrigerators Replaces Printed Books
(How The Publishing Industry is Looking In The Wrong
Direction for Solutions to Revenue and an Authors
Worth.) (by Susan James)
The ongoing debate over digital/ebooks replacing print
books spawns many sub-topics, including a ‘writers
worth’ and payment of same.
Also spawned is using trees for paper, when no-one has
said “printed versions must be made from the ‘paper of
trees from the amazon’.”
We will rid of ourselves of the printed book version of our
writing and the reading of our favorite writers, when
kissing refrigerators replaces the sensation of the sensual,
passionate kiss.
When we can kiss a refrigerator and feel the same tingle
and glow from the soft touch of lips on lips, and the
sensations moving up and down our core, we will then be
ready to replace the relationship we have with a printed
version of a book we have chosen.
Reading and touching the books we are lead to have, is
part of wish and desire fulfillment. It’s a hidden agenda of
our higher nature.
Desire and fulfillment are carrots from the gods to remind
us of why we are human. We are human to touch and feel
sensations of this experience so that we expand into more
of what we want and need. It leads us to our potential.
As writers and publishers of all shapes and sizes it would
be in our best interest to remember why readers read.
We read and write to ‘feel’. We touch, kiss and hold …to
feel.
Reading as in Kissing is a bodily ‘experience’, it’s all
encompassing. It’s the same reason we kiss and we want
to kiss more. We can’t get enough of a good kiss or a
good book. We kiss to feel.
When we begin kissing refrigerators to feel the affection
and sensation of lips on lips, we then will be ready give
up on printed versions of our books.
The Publishing Industry is ‘looking in the wrong
direction’. It is forgetting the huge market of people who
love and buy books, whom don’t have a relationship with
cyberspace, but they do have one with ‘reading’. They are
also forgetting those folks who do have a relationship
with cyberspace, but still love to hold and read a
paperback/hardback version of a book. Are these
antiquated readers not wanting to let go of holding a
paperback version of their book? No. They are readers
with a choice, and as writers/publishers they deserve to
have what they want as well as those who prefer digital
versions.
Does this mean I only will offer printed version of my
own writing? Heavens no.
Part of a writers livelihood is about the business of
writing, which encompasses many formats..one of which
is true to my heart.. ‘still’… the printed, soft or hard copy
version.
