IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST VISIT TO THE BLOG PLEASE SCROLL PAST THIS RANT BELOW. The writings beneath this piece are a better looking glass into what Living In The Void is truly about.
With in-boxes saturated with useless drivel, it has become increasingly difficult to promote your art. When it comes to close family and friends you can not blame them if they don't read your articles or take the time to give you feedback. They too are inundated with junk, forwarded messages having little to do with their believes, yet some of our peers continue to forward things along without a thought.
This time around however, trying to get my own peers involved in my craft (writing, forthcoming book, poetry) has become almost impossible. I dread to picture the types of things they are spending their time reading, and admittedly, I feel dwarfed by the garbage out there. Perhaps our current political, financial, and global situation is a reflection of these daily futile distractions. We spend our time on gossip pages, social networks (I too am guilty there) and online gaming.
Still: I will not give up. This book will be published, and I will continue to fill in-boxes with my own words. It is ultimately up to the recipient whether they want to read the prose of a good friend, or the musings of a multi-millionaire gossip whore.
