How to Finish Books, Find True Love, and Live, Write, and Speak from the Heart
Sandy Nathan at the Book Loft, Getting Ready to Expound on Life
Getting to know each other is hard in this information age. I've wanted to get to know you for a long time. I've been in the writing and publishing business for years. I'm at least on––if not particularly active in––pretty much every social media avenue that exists.
I've seen people shuffling and jiving, "Look at me! Look at my book!" "Look at my award, review, letter from mom!" all over the Net. It turns me off about as much as a person could be turned off. And it seems with all this frantic "socializing", no one gets acquainted. Certainly in the great junior-high school of the social media, no one connects profoundly.
But I've wanted to get to know you. The you you. The you beyond the hype.
I've finally found a way to introduce myself, the real me, so you could sample my side of the equation. I gave a talk at our local book store, The Book Loft in Solvang, CA the day before Valentine's Day. I hate Valentine's Day. The talk was recorded and the link below will magically transport you to YouTube, where I'll tell you why I hate the famous day of hearts and flowers. I'll share a lot of other things with you, too. How I write. "Literature through disaster" is my own personally trademarked term to express how my soul transforms personal wipe-outs into books. It may work for you too.
This video captures me pretty much as well as I've been captured. I invite you to watch the video. I think you'll find it worthwhile. I hope you get to know me better, and then let me know you.
