A few links to liven things up

The list seems to be kind of dead lately. It does still exist, right?

Here are a few links of stories I either found interesting or wrote myself.
(Or wrote myself and THEN found interesting. I can do that!)

Sunita at Dear Author seems to think self-publishing (she says "genre
fiction" in the headline, but really means self-publishing) is creating an
e-book 'market for lemons':

Passive Guy had some choice remarks about that:

And I had a few, also:


http://www.teleread.com/ebooks/are-self-published-e-books-a-market-for-lemons-or-is-it-just-sour-grapes/

(I'm particularly proud of that headline, though I suppose it's not really
as clever as I like to think it is.)

Did folks hear about the big kerfuffle over the Hugo Awards the other day?
The convention chairs of LonCon3, this year's WorldCon venue, decided to
appoint a transgressive comedian known for risque humor to emcee the
Hugos...and all heck broke loose.

And finally, here's a book review I posted a few days ago that might point
out a useful tool to any writers on the list...
