Flap It Now: Things not to do
http://flapitnow.blogspot.com/2011/04/things-not-to-do.html
Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Things not to do. Advice for living a less cantankerous life:. Never, in a moment of weakness, buy a yacht you can’t afford. Ever. Never name a woman's breasts Ida or refer to them as igloos. Never name a man's breasts at all. Never wish you were thinner - it’s just a waste of a wish that could be achieved through lifestyle changes. Never resist buying a yacht if you can afford one – particularly a big one. Never intimidate the elderly. They don’t really like it. Things not to do.

Flap It Now: August 2010
http://flapitnow.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. There are also about 20 or so blog fiction writers whom you like, who write short stories and novels. You take these to bed with you and read them on your e-reader.

Monday, August 30, 2010. The Writer and Reader Will be Happier or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blog. Publishers will be unnecessary. What is the purpose of reading and writing? Broadly speaking: communication and/or enjoyment. To this end, what role does the publisher play? Typically they commission, edit, publish (produce), market and distribute, while managing risk, and with the ultimate goal of selling enough copies to make a profit. Repeat ad infinitum. Professional editing is somethi...

The wordED blog on words and writing. Skip to primary content. Who’s got a great word? December 3, 2013. Every now and then I come across a word which stops me in my tracks because it is simply fabulous. Today that happened. The word is:. It’s not from Harry Potter and it’s not a Muppet. In fact it’s a 19th century US word. President Roosevelt was considered a “prize honey-fugler” by the Syracuse Herald in 1934 . So what does it mean? Visit wordED.com.au. Or follow wordED on Twitter.

As Melbourne celebrates Rare Book Week and the value of the printed word, I start to think about the demise of the traditional (paper) book and wonder what it all means. What does this mean?
