Motives

Hello, my name is jonathan Friesen. Buy my book.
Sounds hideous, unfeeling. But once you write one there is this voice that says, "Sell the book. Pitch the book. Slip them a bookmark." Friendships become networks. Gatherings become opportunities. Holidays are marketing sessions. It's rotten, really. And I think a better man could separate work from private life. But I haven't found the way; not yet.

So to save me the stress, I'll just come out right here and admit that if you spend enough time with me I will likely try to sell you a book. I hope when I'm not selling that I will be genuine and caring and listening, but I'm not certain. I apologize in advance for this hidden agenda that has infiltrated my life. Maybe tomorrow I'll be better, more altruistic. But that's tomorrow. Today I'm busy trying to sell books.
