Business choices in writing
Everyone on LJ has probably seen the Richard Morgan post. It's here.
I have minor doubts about the over-all collegiality of any large group of writers, because, well, writers. But I really like his overall point, which is that we don't need to piss in the pool that we're swimming in in an attempt to hit the Other Guys. Because, well, we're all swimming in the same water, and it's icky.
I occasionally talk about the business of writing, which is not entirely like the business of publishing, and one of his points struck me enough that I wanted to talk a bit about it, because there is one quibble I have with his article.
( Choosing what to write. Partly opinion, partly about me. Maybe too much about me. Sorry... )
