I think that I have four copies of Spindoc alone. I guess that, with ebooks becoming the norm, I can let go of that particular obsession.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-45442325795738638332011-01-21T09:49:23.095-08:002011-01-21T09:49:23.095-08:00I read all your old books at least once a year.

I can buy them again in a more permanent format.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699125015631363365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-87169386846953419572011-01-20T16:44:15.251-08:002011-01-20T16:44:15.251-08:00Being creative is such a weird profession.

Because of that, it's subjective. <br /><br />Skills may feel sharper, but all that matters is the quality of the project. <br /><br />Compare that to someone who does the same thing every day. You can get better at changing motor oil, gutting fish, or solving multiplication problems. It's pretty simple to determine. <br /><br />But which of my video-game stories was the best? It's subjective. Even if there's a consensus, that doesn't necessarily mean it was the best written.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138545573425777067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-62520384972324638972011-01-20T16:18:35.929-08:002011-01-20T16:18:35.929-08:00Justin --

Once I get my nose out of my own book, it's pretty high on my to-read list.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138545573425777067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-75274054828881607352011-01-20T13:16:19.758-08:002011-01-20T13:16:19.758-08:00Gorgeous gig bags, Ian.

Really nice work on 'em.<br /><br />I'm pretty much a hardshell case man myself -- I bang things around, and a gig bag doesn't offer enough protection. The ideal cases are the spun carbon fiber jobs -- lightweight, look cool, and you can run a truck over them and they'll keep your guitar safe. They also cost a couple car payments, so unless I start traveling with my guitar and getting paid a lot to do it, I won't be getting one of those, either ...Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-77542469711395431362011-01-20T12:56:02.219-08:002011-01-20T12:56:02.219-08:00All this talk about SpinDoc has lead me to pull it...All this talk about SpinDoc has lead me to pull it off the shelf and give it a re-read.
