Eva’s Byte #315 – The Point
As in, the point of a pen is used to write. If you’re a published author, the point of a pen is wielded to autograph and personalize books for readers who acquired your paperbacks at a book signing.
Of a different frame of mind when getting back in the saddle of writing/publishing after a hiatus of nearly ten years, I went hog-wild in ordering custom-engraved pens to give away at book signings. As a result, I have a pile-up of pens stowed away in a box.
Even with the practice of giving away my signing pens with private paperback sales, and delving inside the box to grab a pen for personal use, it’s fair to say I’ll never reach bottom.
So, what’s the point?
Of a new frame of mind, I no longer procure book signings. From my point of view, time away from writing and making my books visible on social media, is better spent enjoying the great outdoors. I fully intend to embark on my newfound hobby of spelunking for sea glass.
On the home front in my capacity as a writer, I finished drafting chapter 74 of my Contemporary work in progress—a segment that nearly did me in for all of the exhaustive research involved. I’m now electronically penning my thoughts in chapter 75, resuming from 282 words toward the end of Part 4. When I ink my way through the short hop of Part 5, I’ll be making my final points in the novel I had started in 2016.
*Whatever your creative endeavor, may you get your points across.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
