Paper Notes ?

  • Paper notes in a digital world? Absolutely. I still believe in pens, pencils, notebooks, journals, daily planners, letter writing, thank-you cards, and all things that celebrate a life that respects the placing of words on paper. Though, obviously, the words you are now reading are not on paper, they are definitely on paper - in spirit. In an age of blogs (like this one), blogs about blogs, online publications of all kinds and everything digital, I still celebrate the journal kept in a notebook, bound books, magazines, a good newspaper and the literary world of old. I love to read about writing and writers. I’d rather read an interview with Somerset Maugham or Paul Auster than the gurus of the computer age. Why?

Thank You, Oprah...

Oprah Winfrey did the right thing today. As a lover of books - and especially the memoir genre - I was disappointed in her earlier call to Larry King Live defending James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces. I was very proud to see Oprah stand up to Mr. Frey and his publisher. The truth matters. It matters in the paper world, the digital world, the real world. It just matters. Thank you, Oprah.
