      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Mandy VeryRealInternetFriend

      1/ I absolutely love it when folks send pictures like this. THANK YOU. It may not seem it, but being an author, and even writing a fairly popular book, FEELS pretty lonely, and FEELS like it's shouting into the void. >>>https://twitter.com/pantinkins/status/1472658255340003332 …

      2/ In 2021, books aren't on bookstore shelves. There's no official imprimatur that a book is "real". You type type type, you upload something to Amazon, you click a button...and...that's it. No publishing house to fly you to NYC and sign a contract, no agent to buy you lunch.

      3/ You see some numbers on a screen and theoretically this means that someone has purchased a copy, but ... it's just things on a screen. You can even buy a copy yourself to feel the physical heft, but ... does that make it "real"?

      4/ I've got an industrial laser printer and a few reams of paper. I can type any random crap I want into an emacs buffer, and print it out and I've got a "book". What's the difference between that and "really" having a book? Philosophically, I can't tell you, but ...

      5/ ...as far as feelz are concerned, a picture of someone sitting down and READING something I wrote always blows my mind / makes my day. Thanks so much for your support, frens!

          My wife is big into Kindle. Of course, I read some that way. Nothing like a beefy hardcover in my hands, though. The feel, the smell, and the sound of the pages turning.

          Replying to @MorlockP

          Back when I wrote my first book, I met my editor who said "how nice it was nice to meet an author." I kept looking around for the likes of T. Clancy. You know, a 'real' author. It wasn't until I did a book signing that me=author started to sink in.

          That's one of the nice parts of selling books at SF cons. Handing a physical book to someone who wants to read it.
