Going into Labor Day

I couldn't resist using this pop phrase, so apropos because I've decided to go forward with my threatened book on Writer's Block. Hold on to your seats -- I may even self-publish it, and might choose to use Amazon's CreateSpace program. Maybe.

Why should I write yet another book on this subject? Amazon lists dozens of publications for sale on this topic. The first time I searched, it listed only 190 books. Still, that's a lot of sources to check! Or maybe, maybe ... I should just write out my own ideas about how Writer's Block is a temporary interruption in creativity, as I am fond of reframing the situation.

Should it be an e-book or tree-book, or even a blog-book like J. A. Kornrath produced with his A Newbie's Guide to Publishing a .PDF file that was originally just links to his blog posts. Now the posts' bodies are unlinked, but the header and comment links remain. Another idea. Or I could convert it into a book for Amazon's Kindle, or format it for other e-readers.

Digital publishing has opened on vistas heretofore unknown to the writer: the whole book could be recorded for tape, CD, live streaming, podcasting and probably even more! A more clever and talented person than myself could add animation and video for different scenes, and in between I could appear as a talking head (?)

O.K. Hold it! This all sounds like too much work right now. I'm not going into labor today.
