Reed is in the business strictly for himself, strictly for his own financial gain, strictly for scamming otherwise earnest Native wanna-bees with his 'workshops' and 'training sessions', when he knows that all he is after is self-promotion. Of course, he gladly will take your money, should you wish to enroll in the courses offered by himself and 'Sonny' Roubideaux. And they'll laugh all the way to their respective banks...<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111681906238053379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-56639709529671387682007-10-20T07:33:00.000-07:002007-10-20T07:33:00.000-07:00I'm glad you finally explained what you mean by "m...I'm glad you finally explained what you mean by "minimalization."<BR/><BR/>If the craft guilds have done nothing about the problem, then it's good people like Mark Reed and me keep publicizing it.<BR/><BR/>Unlike Reed, however, I publish the details of my "research" so people can see the data for themselves.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

And what have they done about it? Little to nothing. The last time that 'diversity' had any meaning in that industry was 1969, when writerfella made his own entrance into the industry and then struggled to hold on after being the first minority writer to gain entry. That lasted until 1978, when the industry swung back to the levels that had produced their efforts toward diversity in the first place.<BR/> If that is not an argument toward writerfella's assertion about 'minimalization,' then what else would it mean?<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111681906238053379noreply@blogger.com
