    Reading critically?

    ("...why not write lightly upon that which you read then, just seeing your own thoughts upon it..." suggested the goblin now knowing that most thoughts simply floated vaguely in one's mind until they were exacted to oneself in the slot here, adding "...yes, funny how we think we know until one...

    Lacking a cheerio

    (the goblin liked the will-o-wyke, thinking there was a smart mind if ever there was one, and the goblin agreed in his way too, that that bookreading was doomed along with most of its authors, where certainly fewer and fewer authors would make less and less money from it, no, not outright death...

    Writing, Not Reading

    ("...yes, I like this forum too..." replied the goblin, "...where it's hard to imagine isn't it, that the thing that looks like potted plant stuck in front of a computer screen in the corner of one's sitting room is in fact a budding writer about to blossom forth, yes I suppose that the...

    Lacking a cheerio

    (and with that the goblin thanked the will-o-wyke, admiring his newfound superb writing style, guessing too that an on-line presence was very important to one's marketing then, moreover, that what with more and more readers coming onto forumland in search of something to read here, that there...

    Writing, Not Reading

    (and with that the goblin was happy to see one of scotland's more talented children's story writers anya was here too, saying "...well don't I always read whatever you write now, but I think you already know my stance towards writing whereas those here who don't know me will probably need some...

    The Typewriter

    (ah yes, the goblin appreciated this sort of thread then, saying "...the trouble with a typewriter, as with the hand writting stuff too, is that once it is written something it then has to retyped or scanned into a format that the computer accepts, so instead I tend to either use a small...

    So what are you really looking for in the books you buy?

    ("...I guess what I want from a book is something to remember when I've finished reading it..." remarked the goblin, continuing "...where I have a growing distrust for much of what one reads these days...", in fact, the goblin often wondered if there wasn't some sort of computer program out...

    ("...me, I'm a realist..." went the goblin, having read through this thread now, adding "...isn't it rather obvious that by the time I had got someone to read even one line of my blog or downloadable pdf file ebook, just think of how many more people will have turned up on forumland as...
