You’re right, Robert. The kind of patience an author needs is the same kind of patience that allows the pot roast to simmer all day, rather than the kind that lets it sit in the refrigerator until it goes bad.

I think traditional publishing will have to figure out a way to shorten the process or more more authors are going to be cutting out the middleman and doing it on their own. It’s gotten quite doable, and the profit margin can be significantly higher than the usual paltry royalties earned traditionally. There can be advantages to traditional publishing beyond the usual pecuniary interests, but that’s something each author must weigh in advance.

With regard to”alternative publishing”: the arrogance of conventional publishers might have something to it. The kind of “patience” many writers are forced to endure is demeaning; it erodes the creative edge. Patience, as I see it, is part of the discipline you exercise in the process of making the work read true. It may include reflection–in the face of a society that does not reflect–and holding back, so as to see the piece in perspective, as it grows cold, over time. It may include working respectfully with others. It does no include putting up with crap.

Being a creative genius I have found people are constantly trying to steal my expertly crafted combination of words and pass it off as their own. As everything I say and do is original and never before witnessed I have hired a highly trained group of former Mexican mafia figures to kidnap and brutalize any one suspected of violating my copyright. It has proven quite effective thus far.

Bradbury is one of the absolute best. Reading his works is as close as I’ve come to experiencing a free fall—exhilarating.

Will your Introduction to Literature books be available at the Richmond Homeschool conference? I am interested in looking at them. Do you have a booth? If so, what company or booth number is it listed under?
