Maureen Johnson, via Philia
So I almost checked out The Bermudez Triangle from the library yesterday but was seduced by a biography of Ingrid Bergman that I am loving but despite having read it for like half an hour today I'm only on like page 60 out of a bazillion and I had to renew three books yesterday 'cause I hadn't read them and ANYWAY, the point of this paragraph is, I have not read any of Maureen Johnson's books, but occasionally Philia links to her blog and I read it and love it.
Particularly when she does this like this post.
I am not saying that it is a bad or dishonest thing to try to sell your work. It is not. What I am saying is that I am tired of the rush to commodify everything, to turn everything into products, including people. I don’t want a brand, because a brand limits me. A brand says I will churn out the same thing over and over. Which I won’t, because I am weird.
