I'd love to write in general, come to think of it. Oh well. I keep thinking of book and article ideas but not having a clue how to move from the writing to the publishing, I am loathe to begin any projects. <br /><br />Liz, this is such a spectacular accomplishment! It is a wonderful thing to carry these bloggers' words beyond the blogging community. I'm a bit in awe of it.Hysteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044678910937934731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987874.post-43759036126465067022009-07-10T15:05:43.770-04:002009-07-10T15:05:43.770-04:00Hystery, I also want to say that I mention in the ...Hystery, I also want to say that I mention in the introduction (found <a href="http://thegoodraisedup.blogspot.com/2009/06/writing-cheerfully-on-web-very-soon.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>) that the downside of having a book is having no forum for exchanging comments, as exist on blogs.<br /><br />On the flip side, though, the book will help allow for book groups! And that's a huge reason why this collection exists: to make it easier for some face-to-face study and discussion to happen.<br /><br />Martin's book certainly has planted seeds in at least a few of us, about possibly compiling our own blogposts into a book. And hey, that would be a piece of cake for me to do, now that I've mastered at least Lulu.com. I've been wondering about hiring myself out for that sort of editing work. Any takers...?<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Liz Opp, <a href="http://thegoodraisedup.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Good Raised Up</a>Liz Opphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802348848085930901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987874.post-49654200782403771582009-07-10T10:45:18.394-04:002009-07-10T10:45:18.394-04:00Hystery--I _hope_ you'll leave your comments o...Hystery--I _hope_ you'll leave your comments on your blog. (ie: reviews and publicity would be nice! There is no big publishing company backing this book, so knowledge of it is going to be a matter of word of mouth--or pixel?)<br /><br />Of course, the other response is in a collection of your own writings--something I'd love to see. I think of you and <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/09678898117491633098" rel="nofollow">Bright Crow</a> as the two Quaker Pagan bloggers I would most like to write a book with!Cat C-B (and/or Peter B)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10002916434676859262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987874.post-34977296206879617602009-07-10T10:24:42.646-04:002009-07-10T10:24:42.646-04:00Congratulations, Cat.

The work of collecting the best or most relevant pieces is actually significant... and I really do read printed paper differently than I do online writing.<br /><br />Even without a profit motive, I'm really hoping the book sells well... and not just because (did I mention??) <i>I'm in it</i>. But because the writers represented are such a strong cross-section of what is good about the online Quaker conversation going on around us in the blogosphere.<br /><br />Thanks again for pulling this project together, Liz. I'm thrilled to be included in such good company.

No kickbacks from the vast fortune being amassed from sales of this instant classic???<br />Wow.<br />Even I got a free copy of Peggy's book just for providing a shameless puff (which she only printed because it was true)<br />Well, but...... You are IN it!!!<br />Ok, then, I'll order at least one copyNatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07004334102672210987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25987874.post-50178132626389092802009-07-09T12:35:30.415-04:002009-07-09T12:35:30.415-04:00You're the best, Cat.

I really wish I had more time to search for a post or two of Peter's too, to have included. <br /><br />(And for the record: No monetary or material exchanges were involved in any way to include Cat in the book. ...She's in it, y'know.)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Liz Opp(enheimer), <a href="http://thegoodraisedup.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Good Raised Up</a>Liz Opphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802348848085930901noreply@blogger.com
