I'm not directing this at anyone in this thread, mind you, this is a general comment, but as an author, it's very painful for me to see authors behave in ways that alienate customers against indies as a whole.  |
Wasn't it Will Eisner who said “A key to my thinking has always been the almost fanatical belief that what I was engaged in was a literary art form. That belief was compounded out of ego and necessity, I guess, a combination of the two. ”
Isn't egocentrism a prerequisite of being a writer?
The nice thing about egotists is that they don’t talk about other people.
