Overall thoughts on Publishing

It's fun, I think I want to continue working on publishing, though I understand that there are some issues that I have with separating myself from the piece, but then again that can come in handy.  And though I do not really wish to force my writing on anyone, it does give me better insight into what is lacking in my own work.  Meanwhile I like to think that i'm helping someone else get the wish and the dream that they are looking for.
It was a time consuming process though, going through and rereading things.  Now though I do prefer editing, going through different possible changes with the authors, I still think that is more fun, making the piece better.  But helping getting the person published is satisfying as well.  Though it also comes with the knowledge that you are also turning away other people as well.

I can't wait for next year.

Frustration

I'm not sure what is required for the other blogs, I do not seem to have the more recent paper if there is one, nor did I seem to write it down what I had the opportunity as I was under the impression that I had the correct paper, instead I have no clue as to what is required reading for blog 10 and 11.

My Sheet stops at blog 9.  Though I could have sworn that 10 and 11 were to be announced and that was way I don't have it written down...

For what the Hell They Needed it For

Interesting short piece.  Though talking about it with some of my friends, from what I could gather of the background story it is a piece about a book mobile person and their fight with the parents of kids who do not believe that their kids need to read, especially about Crazy Horse and find out that way about what happened to him.

The how entire premise of there being conflict between a book mobile person and parents is a common and safe topic since anyone reading it would easily side with her and against the literate hating parents.  I even side with her/him/? obviously.  It's an curiously written piece that seems a little chopped in my opinion, and makes little sense until I take a step back.
