At this point, it feels like they're not even trying that hard to attack any of us, or is it just that much of a failure. Also, to correct any misunderstanding on the part of "certain persons", <i>Perspectives</i> was NOT self-published. It has been published by Local Gems Poetry Press, a small press based out of Long Island, using Lulu.com as printer and online distributor. Said persons would do well to note that "self-publishing" is a term which only applies to books which are directly published by the author, and which actually have a single author. Therefore, it is impossible to "self-publish" an anthology by its very nature.Marc Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341671712800352129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445631991598059856.post-6662431940997101062010-09-07T15:43:07.983-07:002010-09-07T15:43:07.983-07:00Good points.

It is that passion that drives us. <br /><br />However, sometimes, we make mistakes and get caught up in things and don't walk away when we should. Thanks for the reminder (and lessons for the new people!<br /><br />It's that passion that drives us to do right and to fix wrongs that can lead us astray into this fanatical debate with others. We have to remember that at a certain point, it's time to put up and shut up. <br /><br />Our work, what we DO, more than anything we can ever SAY, will be the measures of our judgment: which does not come from anyone online but, in my belief, the Lord above.Heather Babeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032800572592796632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445631991598059856.post-9416836455168852002010-09-07T09:57:36.183-07:002010-09-07T09:57:36.183-07:00Brilliant.

However, what we don't expect is having to fight those who are supposed to be on the same side. <br /><br />But as you mentioned, bad publicity is still publicity. It works both ways. Maybe a few more will be helped by the good advocates because our names are out there more.Amy Caraballohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952935915378421291noreply@blogger.com
