A little warmth in winter…

I'm stealing this from Loretta Chase's page. Believe it or not--and I know this will shock you-- :-) there are readers who will gleefully jump on these mistakes and lecture both you and your editor on your stupidity for letting these "simple" mistakes make it though to publication-- totally ignoring the zillion other typos/errors that have been caught in a 125,000 WORD MANUSCRIPT!! And trust me, a couple of these errors always escape us. (Sound of me gnashing my teeth.)

Jeanette Winterson joins the fight to save our Australian book industry

Jeanette Winterson:

"What we’re really protecting is the life of the mind; the creative core of what we are. If you attack creativity what you’re saying is that it doesn’t matter that we’re human beings, because very human being ever born across this planet, across time, is part of the creative continuum.

We’re protecting something which is so valuable. This is more than an industry. This is the heart of humanity ... We need to protect this ecosystem. Writers are cottage industries: we go into a little room by ourselves and we write. We can do that! We don’t need anything. But then we need you guys to get out there and make it possible for us to do our work and to get it out into the world. And that is so necessary.

We’re not secondhand cars. And the idea of this productivity council – I mean, did that come out of Dickens or something?

Fight it. Fight it with every breath, with every ounce of your strength."|
