Ian from neighboring reclusland writes in regard to my open call for entries by editors to collaborate creatively with my writing.
“From your original post, it was looking more like a collaborative thing, 12 people get together and each contribute something pulled from your writings. A kind of people’s-opinion-best-of- Tim-Boucher. Like those Best American Short Story collections, but in reverse. Is that still a possibility?
If no, I am still interested, but I don’t know if I’d want to write a whole book based entirely on your writings, Cafe-press-publish it as something I did, and then just have you mention it on your site. Something seems kind of off balance there, as far as the work/credit ratio on both sides…”
I definitely agree with what Ian is saying in the second paragraph and really like his interpretation of my idea in the first paragraph. That recent letter from a reader named Sam, who operates @ the vortex of a neighboring informational galaxy, posneg, really drove home for me once again the collaborative nature of this website. It is not me talking, but me listening to other people and trying to respond in a creative manner. Without anybody else, this all would be worth nothing, have no lasting value, and I wouldn’t have continued doing it for such a long time or have derived so much from the relationships which this website has allowed me.
Think of it as informational blood-brothers, intertwining datastreams for mutual benefit, preservation and propagation.
