Cheers for posting it.

I love Gilbert, but then again my mentor is Ray Bradbury and my gospel is "Zen in the Art of Writing". Also I'm a free culture advocate and ascribe to the theory that our world is changing drastically into a new culture and as Eben Moglen puts it:
No poet will ever go unpublished now
We're moving away from the profit incentive, the write-what-will-sell to the write-your-passion model. Again I have to quote Eben Moglen when he said (talking about the music industry, but it transfers to all creative individuals)
"There will be no ten million dollar artists. But a million artists making a living, not having to take a day job."
Anybody who's interested in Gilbert can watch her great TED talk here:
