As someone who used Word and then had a heck of a time converting to CLEAN ebook format, I wish I'd discover Scrivener much sooner. Looks so much better in colour coding, organising notes etc. And then it coverts straight to ebook format. have a gander anyhow.tony smythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771763749137149585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896479859639775680.post-36874494361200089272016-12-30T10:06:25.695+00:002016-12-30T10:06:25.695+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alias Bogushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908752518788179717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896479859639775680.post-59025702991117944702013-02-21T20:26:43.651+00:002013-02-21T20:26:43.651+00:00Definitely laugh at yourself.....in a Russell Bran...Definitely laugh at yourself.....in a Russell Brand kind of way!Julie Shacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978513684928886635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896479859639775680.post-76973466327195598552013-01-23T05:11:04.710+00:002013-01-23T05:11:04.710+00:00I agree w/ and appreciate this!I agree w/ and appreciate this!Bobby Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809136879430277243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896479859639775680.post-23178531398917768722012-11-29T16:18:33.517+00:002012-11-29T16:18:33.517+00:00Good on ya!

So the joke goes on, as a V is a very simply stylised image of the female pubes, and the 'camel-foot' has become a coarse reference to too-revealing clothes, etc.<br />This also makes Churchill's cigar held between the two fingers quite amusing, too. However, as Freud may once have said, when challenged about the phallic symbols he saw everywhere "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."Alias Bogushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908752518788179717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896479859639775680.post-64339717958536801512012-02-08T10:08:45.534+00:002012-02-08T10:08:45.534+00:00It does seem a trifle odd of the NY Times to get J...It does seem a trifle odd of the NY Times to get Jeannette Winterson to review <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/books/review/renegade-henry-miller-and-the-making-of-tropic-of-cancer-by-frederick-turner-book-review.html?pagewanted=all" rel="nofollow">a book about Henry Miller.</a><br />I realise that feminists have pointed him out as a chauvinist, misogynist, etc. I think this is (to some extent) based on the misunderstanding that the books are entirely autobiographical, rather than (as with so many books) <i>only partly</i> based on reality. People who knew him at the time deny that he was a completely lazy <i>flaneur</i> but displayed quite a lot of ambition and energy. That he sometimes survived by writing porn (with Anaïs Nin) only indicates what his <i>audience</i> were like, really, but hey. I don't plan to defend him, except to point out how different everyone was in The Thirties, for instance. It seems extraordinary, some of the casual racism, anti-Semitism and sexism of the period, but that typifies the time, not just Henry. IMHO.<br />I guess the wrath created by the casual approach to life of the narrator blinds many readers to any other qualities of the writing. Bukowski seems more scurrilous to me.<br />Oh, and <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/27/book-review-podcast-the-legacy-of-henry-millers-tropic-of-cancer/" rel="nofollow">here's the podcast version.</a>Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741749822242029185noreply@blogger.com
