This is going to be a short post. I've still got some editing to do today, and it's a weekend, so I should be relaxing and taking the day to rest but ... Jungle. Gotta get Jungle into Beta.
This one came across my feed this morning. I'll warn you before I post the link: severe language warning.
Why? Because this author is angry. And you know what? I understand their anger. I really do. I've seen some hard numbers on the Piracy of my books. One site (just one, mind you) kept track of how "popular" piracy of my books was. If I sold half the copies that were pirated, I wouldn't need my second job. I could be writing full time.
Oh boy. I woke up this morning to see this article on the front page of r/books, and you know … I’ve never fisked anything … but this piece couldn’t be ignored. For those not in the know, a “fisking” is when someone replies point by point to the salient points of an article, offering a piece by piece rebuttal. I’ll let you read
Hey readers. Got a bit of an interesting one for you today. How well do you look at user reviews when you’re examining a product?
I am working on something! But I'm skipping a sad chapter, and writing a super-duper sexy one, because I can't handle sad right now.
True facts.
Actually, serious Q: is it better to update-as-you-write, or write the whole thing and then release it?
Writing this after midnight, mostly because I really wanted you guys to have a post this morning (or tomorrow morning from when I write this), one that wasn’t the Classic Being a Better Writer post that’ll go up on Saturday.
So, random thought for today, but have you ever considered how differently review-blurbs are treated for books than they are for any other medium?
Normally I wouldn't post on a Sunday at all, let alone a Sunday morning, but I'm under the weather (fighting off flu) and a sibling just dropped this absolute gem of a video into my lap ... So I really wanted to share it with you guys.
This ... is the power of marketing. Oh, and language warning.
This one might be a little … scattered. Why? Well, I just got back from the dentist.
On April 1st, 2014, one of that year’s most unexpected video game hits released: Goat Simulator. “What does this have to do with writing and reading?” Just trust me.
