Chad S.A. Gibbs, "Survival at Treblinka: Geography, Gender, and Social Networks in Jewish Resistance" Chair: Hana G. Green Commentator: Jacob Flaws On August 2, 1943, prisoners at the Nazi extermination camp Treblinka, located in occupied Poland, launched an uprising against their captors, during which hundreds successfully escaped while guards killed as many in the process. In this groundbreaking work, Chad S.A. Gibbs draws upon recently discovered sources and novel research methods to fundamentally reassess Jewish resistance at Treblinka—both before and during the revolt. Using the testimonies of revolt survivors, prior escapees, those who passed through the camp, and a handful of bystander witnesses and former SS guards, Gibbs sheds new light on the events of August 2 as well as many prior acts of resistance. Critical to these new interpretations of the revolt are the actions of women prisoners, who here assume a central place in this story for the first time.

I’m of the opinion that if you do not enjoy the act of writing, then publishing anything is going to feel like a chore. And since there’s isn’t much of a living to be made out of writing (unless you’re writing bestsellers or are professionally emplyed in publishing,etc..), there’s not much point writing is there.
I’m retired and I do not need another income stream. I write whe I feel like it and don’t bother with publishing. I’ve got a Wordpress site for anything I wish to share and I don’t care whether it gets read or not.
The upside is that I get a real kick out of writing when the mood takes me. It’s purely a selfish thing for me.

Writing About Another Art Form in a Novel
Successfully evoking a piece of music or a painting through words is not easy. Nor is it to bring a dance to life on the page, to capture the creation of a film or the performance of a play, or illustrate the shaping of a sculpture. Sure, you can describe it—but will it feel real to the reader? Writing about another art form within a novel, especially if you aren’t a practitioner of that art form yourself, can feel daunting. And yet many, many writers have achieved it successfully.
