Genesis
February 5, 2005...a new online journal is born. Why live journal? I guess its about time to get started documenting my life since one day im going to have a best selling book of my personal memoirs. Lets hope my publisher doesn't take over all artistic control with the cover art. In a country where only a tenth of Americans get their news and information from the printed word, a picture is worth a thousand words. Unless of course we're speaking of the blind. But since my blog as it were is not currently accesible to the visually impaired I suppose we can politely overlook our nonseeing neighbors for the time being. Anyway, lets face it...people judge a book by its cover. That's why it is imparative that I have the proper cover for my memoirs. I've posted some specific examples of book covers that immediately scare away the reader......
Now this could be extermly virulant to my writing career. Having a headshot that resembles a celebrity who is type cast as a child molester in such blockbusters as "Con Air" has very negative implications for obvious reasons. With such a headshot in my book, where my readers should have seen literary art, all they will see is Megan's law.
