Oh, my! How will we know what to think? To do? *LOL*<br /><br />More than anything I found the PW headline rather insulting. I mean, are indie authors really perceived as being lemmings?Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384027358660553150.post-75482415060214559632011-10-10T15:50:02.656-04:002011-10-10T15:50:02.656-04:00LOL Yeah, I read Joe's post as 'taking a b...LOL Yeah, I read Joe's post as 'taking a break' too.<br /><br />I'm just tired of the backbiting and negativity on all sides of the equation. Just like in the French Revolution, neither side is a bunch of saints.<br /><br />I think what prompted Joe's withdrawal was the knock-down drag-out between him and Chuck Wendig earlier in the week. And once again, snarking started because neither side will admit that there's no one-size-fits-all career path in this crazy world of publishing.Suzan Hardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600258874634909988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384027358660553150.post-18262396948566219192011-10-10T10:54:28.882-04:002011-10-10T10:54:28.882-04:00Publishers Weekly's gleeful headline last Frid...<i>Publishers Weekly's gleeful headline last Friday: 'Konrath to Take Hiatus From Telling Authors To Abandon Publishers.'</i><br /><br />My first thought was, "You're kidding?!" but I'm sure you're not. [sigh] Yeah. See, what I got from his posts about that is that he's taking a break from <i>blogging,</i> not specifically from telling authors to abandon publishers. [eyeroll] And it sounds like he's lined up about a bazillion other writers who are happy to take up the slack for him, in his very popular blog, so anyone who reads him is going to be getting plenty of info on why they should abandon their publishers and how to go about doing it, while Joe's gone.<br /><br />Idiots, seriously.<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.com
