As as writer, I'm mentally shifting my focus and career decision-making process toward the idea that print books will become inconsequential during the next five years. In some ways, it will be a relief. In others, it will be quite strange. Will I still hold book signings? What will I give away at conferences? Signed CDs with e-files of my books?
It's the future, and I'm preparing for it.
