    Conversations with Calliope- Humility and Semantics

    (Sitting in Herman Melville's Seaman's Bethel Seat)

    JOE: Good morning Calliope.
    CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today?
    JOE: Still digesting yesterday's lesson in humility and semantics.
    CALLIOPE: I think there might be a story behind that statement.
    JOE: How astute. I told you about my go around last week with some traditionally published authors.
    CALLIOPE: I recall. You called them elite authors and decided you must be a pica author.
    JOE: Correct. I decided to start a group on Linked In (www.linkedin.com) for pica authors.
    CALLIOPE: And?
    JOE: And nothing. Prospective group members either had no idea what I was talking about or didn't care. No response at all.
    CALLIOPE: Perhaps a little of your own hubris showing.
    JOE: Perhaps. In any case I removed the Pica Authors Group and replaced it with a group for Non-Traditional Authors meeting with immediate enthusiasm.
    CALLIOPE: What do you think made the difference?
    JOE: Setting aside my vitriol and appealing to the needs and interests of fellow non-traditional authors.
    CALLIOPE: Congratulations on learning an important lesson.
    JOE: Thanks. I'll keep you posted. Talk with you tomorrow.
