‘n Man wat hom as ‘n soutie beskryf, ene Mark Timm, het my boek gekoop en gelees. Ek ken Mark van geen kant af nie.
My laaste bloginskrywing was een van irritasie en frustrasie. Daar het ek die vraag gestel: Is dit die moeite werd om ‘n boek te skryf?
Gister kom daar ‘n e-pos van Mark aan. Ek haal aan:
Was on your blog….R9 per book….don’t spend it all at once! In all seriousness, that sounds like daylight robbery. Bottom line is, it’s not about the book, it’s about the experience….your experience. I know the book is a way to raise finance, but you touch lives out there. Do it for you and write the next one in English, to reach a wider, possibly international audience….that’s capitalismJ Strangers, internationally, followed your trip on the web, why shouldn’t they buy your book?
My 2c worth.
Mark, thanks for the email. You are so right. I took my eye off the horizon and saw only the pay cheque, and that was wrong!
I am going to re-start the translation of Noord van Naboom today.
Mark, a merry Christmas to you and your family!
