If you're like me, it goes like this:

First you go here, to papersky's post.

Then you read the post she links to in sfwa.

Then you decide having an LJ or two makes you by definition a pixel-stained technopeasant.

Then you glory in it on April 23rd.

Who's in?

(Truthfully, I sympathize with those who feel the internet is Ruining It All, and I have always loved the Lead Pencil Club, especially the line in their manifesto that says "If our computers develop a virus, we will not seek a cure." But I love those things hypocritically, because being online has been huge in my life, and has helped me create the life and the art that I love.)

By the Way

I heard an excellent interview with Scott "King of the Scabs" Sigler,
who turned an unpublished book into a podcast and thereby landed a publisher.

If you would like, take a listen:

The interview starts twenty minutes and 20 seconds in.

In the interview, Scott admits that he makes 3X as much from the GoogleAds on his web site that links to his podcast than he did from publishing of his book!

So he isn't "giving away" his writing at all! ;)
