The world according to the net
Wow so much going on sometimes it seems people can't make decisions anymore without reading about every little thing in the background of whatever choices they have to make.
Now with the presidents family members and ex staff releasing books the written world is stronger then it ever has been. Whether you agree with the current politics or not you have to admit people have gotten much harsher about supporting anyone with different views.
My concern is one day this will mean book burnings again. Classic sagas being removed not just from schools but libraries as well even the net.
What makes me, as a writer, wonder about is how do we know if we are writing something that 20 years down the road will be considered trash? Blasphemous? Racist?
There's a simple answer...we don't.
Now more then ever its time to write what you want to write and not what you hope people will like. The written word will always have power but the the tide of humanity will keep changing and we cannot keep up with that.
So off that subject. My book Razorback Hollow written under the name of Rene Moore is available and seems to be getting interesting reviews. When people talk about a book being different I always hope that its a good different and not different as in I wrote one thing and categorized it into something else. Still there's so many tropes out there we can spend a lifetime trying to find the ' right ' one.
So if your reading this pick up Razorback through KU and enjoy!
