They are very strict with their import restrictions, so you cannot carry any information-bearing devices. That ban includes boxed manuscripts, electronic files, printed books, and sound-emitters. <br /><br />And it's rude to refuse the tidbits circulated at a book launch on Asteroid *, so don't blame me if the Ioky sushi equivalent sends you into anaphylactic shock.anna tambourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338581782386113668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-1796592141480501162009-08-19T12:02:38.814+09:302009-08-19T12:02:38.814+09:30As I said, I love your works, so you take me along...As I said, I love your works, so you take me along with you on your next trip?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-11628900475445443842009-08-19T12:02:07.140+09:302009-08-19T12:02:07.140+09:30You really shouldn't get worked up about the n...You really shouldn't get worked up about the <i>number</i> of books sold, especially if you bothered to read how demoralizing it is when the novel or collection you've slaved over, poured your very soul into, isn't savoured. Just devoured, and again bought to be devoured, time and again. (For on Asteroid *, books are no more 're-read' than a hamburger dinner here is 're-eaten'. Books they love are bought time and again, many in 6-packs on a weekly basis.) <br /><br />So you see? You demean your talent (and diminish my non-fiction work as a researcher and reporter) by thinking lightly about these serious problems, and above all putting value into the pinchbeck of success: sales in volume of volumes.anna tambourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338581782386113668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-91067755299833431002009-08-19T11:59:18.393+09:302009-08-19T11:59:18.393+09:30And sell, like, only fifty thousand copies?And sell, like, only fifty thousand copies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-16738536445995266432009-08-19T11:58:38.699+09:302009-08-19T11:58:38.699+09:30Dear anonymous,

Besides, if you read carefully, you would see that sitting next to marshmallow cream is not the same as being a halva equivalent. And there is no need for exclamation marks or snobbery. But still, we both understand the angst when you've got a work of fact or faction and want to place it. Realistically, however, why don't you try a nice little independent press here on earth? <br /><br />and sorry, starved. Asteroid * books are not available on earth. Something to do with treaties, I think. Or maybe it's markets.anna tambourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338581782386113668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-72813969514495960962009-08-19T11:54:05.055+09:302009-08-19T11:54:05.055+09:30I can't wait to finally be able to read new st...I can't wait to finally be able to read new stories that I can gulp, by people who aren't writers.

But by your request to spread the word, it was obvious you were talking to me. I haven't written to you for a while but I love your writting. Of course I'll spread the word. I have a novel (my autobiography written as fiction) that would ace everything on Asteroid *, I can keep this up as a series for at least 60 more years putting out one a year. Or more, catering for demand! Can you get it published there for me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-29295866660746389982009-08-19T11:45:48.809+09:302009-08-19T11:45:48.809+09:30I must have, if you agree.I must have, if you agree.anna tambourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338581782386113668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20078507.post-20332011788524797632009-08-19T11:44:25.858+09:302009-08-19T11:44:25.858+09:30Did you mean me when you say "you"?Did you mean me when you say "you"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
