So I watched a video of a flash mob. Not a very good flash mob. They played some song. Whether it was good or not, really isn't the point. The point was it was just attention seeking behavior. I have to compete with that, in order to be a writer. And frankly, I can't. There's too much noise out there right now. Too many people trying to compete with each other for fifteen minutes of fame. So, I'm just going to solitarily write my works. For me. I'm done trying to get published, after this last batch I just sent out. I'm taking my books off of Amazon, and I'm likely done with the blog. I say that from time to time, but I think I mean it this time. There's too many people seeking attention, and what is my voice amid all of that? I'm just one more vain individual trying to compete for a little bit of attention. Frankly, I know where my level of quality is. It's a shame that I haven't been published yet, but when I look at the sheer influx of people trying to all gain the world's attention at the same time, I realize pretty quick what the problem is. I'm just one more voice among the cacaphony. It's really pointless to try.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
