I’ve finally started my book project. I’ve been thinking about this for over a year now, and finally have managed to start writing it. So, what is this? I’m writing a book on straight edge, as a philosophy, but from a very personal and reflective perspective. I think “thoughtfullness” is a word that is lacking and just darn right nont included in any definition of straight edge. I want to attempt to correct that. Straight edge is either derided as an all-male tough-guy gang or a fashion trend. Frankly, something I have lived my life by, for nearly 20 years, doesn’t feel like a trend, and I sure as hell don’t condone or support some of the stupidity purpetrated in the name of straight edge.
The book called, No Anesthetic, is being written here and there and will most likely come out next year, self published of course. I’m self publishing it for a variety of reasons. One, I honestly don’t think any self-respecting publishing house would touch a book with such a limited scope on a non-mass-marketable topic, two, hey, this is what I do. I would rather do it myself and three, this makes it simple and easy.
