they tried to emerge

but were cut off by marketing

Today, we here at the foolsletter will look back to a sunnier time, a time before editors or marketing were any part of the discussion. Today, we’ll find our heros - Mr. Book and the author, stuck in a magical cave near the edge of the ocean.

Please remember dear reader you will know when, the book - Mr. Book is speaking. He is italicised.

Hey, I’m Mr. Book.

And the author? He’s so desperate to be seen, he’s not merely italicised, he’s put himself in bold as well.

I do go over the top from time to time. That’s why I think I’m going to need to make friends with these editor types.

That’s find buddy, but right now we’ve got bigger problems. We’re stuck here in a cave. If neither one of us sees the light of day, you’ll never become an author. I’ll never become a book. Nope, you’ll remain a scattered blogger and I’ll still dance through your head at night.

I do like how you move.

The book

Mr. Book. Please?

Ok. Mr. Book rolled his I’s at the author.

How then should we get out of this magical cave?
