THere has got to be a way to create some kind of writer’s co-op where everybody can get their work under one publisher’s name onto something like Fictionwise. I just haven’t figured out how it would be feasible yet. And it may not be. But surely there is SOME way to bypass this ludicrous requirement and get in the system.

Also, on the “people aren’t reading” thing, on the Dragon Pages Podcast they talked about that, about how it’s like a ketchup manufacturer with low ketchup sales concluding that “people aren’t eating anymore.”

Of course people are reading. People read all the time. We have more reading people now than ever because of the internet. People just aren’t reading in the way they were.

A good 75% (possible exaggeration) of the music on iTunes is labeled ‘explicit.’

I believe it has to do with the wireless carrier’s terms of service (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, et al).

YIKES! Waiting For Spring would never make it.

A good 75% (possible exaggeration) of the music on iTunes is labeled ‘explicit.’ Why haven’t they come up with something for books before now?

Good on you for not sanitizing your book, by the way.
