You’d think magicians would be the best at keeping secrets, considering it’s their life. But, offer them enough money and they would be happy to sell you what they know.

The joke among them is if you want to keep anything a secret, publish it in a book.

This adage is just as true now as when it was first said. Consider this site with my “bite-size mornings” (as a reader coined these posts… which I think I should adopt because I like it).

I average approximately 70,000 words a year on these posts,
which is the length of a book, or even two smaller ones.

While there are no big secrets I am writing about here, if I were to string these ideas together in a book, none of my words would be read. This is actually wonderful news because all these posts are independent thoughts and would be horrible as a narrative.

Each one gets to stand on its own and be given consideration as a completely isolated thought by a worldwide audience. It’s a magnificent leap forward from our mostly information deprived ancestors.

It’s also wonderful because if I wanted to write about all my secrets, a published book is still the best place to keep them.

If you don’t believe me, just ask a poet.
