Wise Words

"Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." - Morpheus, The Sandman - Dream Country (Neil Gaiman)

"A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensly right words in a book or a newspaper the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt." - Mark Twain

"At the beginning there was the Word - at the end just the Cliche." - Stanislaw J Lec

Miscellaneous Voices: Australian Blog Writing #1

March 21, 2010

I got a nice little gift in the mail this morning. My contributor’s copy of Miscellaneous Voices: Australian Blog Writing #1.

There’s my name on the cover, fourth one down. Of course, that’s alphabetical, not in order of importance or anything like that. I do love to see my name on the cover of books though, I’m kinda vain like that. This is an anthology of blog writing, put together by Miscellaneous Press. As they describe it:

Inside Miscellaneous Voices: Australian Blog Writing you will find reflections on love, loss, literature, and how our lives are being affected by the shifting methods of communication in this digital age.

My piece is something I wrote about how ebooks are going to become mainstream in the future. There’s lots of interesting stuff in there, so give it a go. You can pre-order your copy here.
