Randomly throughout the week, I’ll make a post and it’ll be titled “Discussion,” quite like this one. What I’d like to do is talk about writing/publishing related things and then talk about them. I think it would be a pretty neat idea and to really enjoy the full benefits, I’d highly recommend you NOT using the answer feature Tumblr offers but clicking on the time the post was created and it’ll take you to the page where you can leave a comment via Disqus. It’s all free, and just needs some name, made up or real. I also encourage that you leave some sample topic ideas for another discussion. All I ask is please have it related to books, publishing, writing, along those lines. Not: Who should have been elected?

I ask only a few ground rules:

1.) No profanity. None. I can and will block your IP address.
2.) Keep on topic. It’s okay if you stray off a little bit, but for the most part, if the discussion is about books and fillms, keep it on books and films and not, say, Gasparilla or Spring break weekend.
3.) No “name calling.” Everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion. If you don’t like the discussion, wait until the next one.  

Enjoy!

Today’s discussion is about whether books really are better than the film or vice versa. Talk about some examples where it’s opposite than what you think and take this anywhere. Here’s a link so you can get familiar with the idea.

I’ll write the first comment to gradually ease us in. You may talk about any film as long as it has a book to go with it AND/OR a book that you think would make a good/bad film. *You don’t have to comment about the film someone else before you commented on.
