Disappointment

Posted by Ken Edwards on Monday, December 10, 2012 Under: writing
Disappointment comes in many guises, and from unexpected directions.

Suppose you are a writer checking availability of your books on Amazon. And you discover that three secondhand copies of one book are being offered by third-party vendors. And the third copy, significantly higher priced than the other two but still below the retail price of the new book, is declared to be inscribed by the author (you) to a certain poet. And this poet had been very helpful in trying to get your book published in the first place, and you had counted them a friend, and among your few dozen readers.

Well, onward.
