A memoir query letter.

[Jim Williams]

For all so concerned:

I'd like to inform you that, one, after 14 attempts, I can live with my last revision, which remains available at:

http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/frie ... r/15474424

And, two, I'm raising the price on Monday 11/10/2014 to about $4.99. So, if you're at all interested, I'd get it now.

Thank you;

Jim Williams

FYI: Some people have experienced trouble downloading the book as it asks for other software. For that other software, I use Adobe Digital Editions.

It's free and takes about a minute.

Jim,

Thank you for sharing your life with us. It's always interesting to see what other people go through in life.

Had to create an adobe ID and sign in on adobe.com before I could install the free digital reader.

Some of the sentences were structured a bit odd, but overall it was readable.

P.S. Thank you for saving France.

Wubbly:

So sorry to hear about the trouble with Adobe Digital Editions. When it was suggested to me, I already had other Adobe software, so I didn't know it would require all of that extra work. I don't have an alternative solution, except to note there are other epub readers.

I have a friend I'm attempting to convince to spend a day or so with me, so we can do a "line by line" edit of the whole book, and I can uncover those sentences not making sense. I'm glad you found it readable to the degree you did, and thank you for reading it and commenting on it, at all. Outside my brother, you are the first person to comment on the entire book.

The people of France will never know.

Thanks much;

Jim W.

For those so inclined:

Someone who can actually read and write did a line-by-line re-write of my memoir, and it has a new title, "All My Friends Were Me".

Two versions are available to download. The PDF version is free.

Hi Jim Williams

Nice to here from you. I will give it a look and read. I've been a bit busy with the VA.

Hi Alan!

It's great to hear from you. I have been following a bit of your VA adventures, but I'd like to hear more.

I'm putting in some revisions to my memoir today, so I'd hold off on getting either a new copy for an hour or so. (done)

Feel free to contact me.

Hi Everyone:

I was just fluttering by in my gravity-powered, ultra-light aircraft, so, in my generosity, I thought I'd pay a visit.

For anyone so interested, I've attempted to include an audio version of the chapter from my memoir I wrote about Bessler's Wheel.

Best wishes!

Jim W.

(I couldn't get the audio version to work, so, here's the lastest printed version, again).
.......................
Chapter Fourteen – Bessler’s Wheel Discussion Board and Perpetual Motion Machines

www.besslerwheel.com One of the first items members of the board dispensed with was the idea that I had discovered perpetual motion. I posted the patent www.google.com/patents/us3412482 to prove my case, (As I did earlier in this book). It didn’t take long for someone to respond the patent I referenced didn’t work. It took me a great deal of time to accept neither it nor anything else patented did work. That laid bare the truth: no member of the discussion board knew of any means in any form that perpetual motion worked, either.

What I found instead was this whole group of people who had found a common interest in Bessler’s wheel from the early 1700s. (See website above for more information.) Perhaps united with common knowledge that a perpetual motion machine resembling a wheel did work back then, the members refuse to accept it couldn’t still be true now.

Although I grew in treatment groups, I also grew because, after posting 55,000 words over eight years at the Bessler’s Wheel website, I continue to be able to revel in a thought. That thought was the freedom of suggesting that such an outlandish idea as perpetual motion is real. Although Bessler’s Wheel is not related to being in therapy, for me it has been more therapeutic than some therapy groups I’ve been in, and I’ve grown here as much as anywhere. As best I can put it, I found people more interested in exploring the unanswered questions of the unknown, rather than in sunning themselves in the glory of what is already accomplished.
