It was partially inspired by the WorldCon, partially by my wife, a lot by the encouragement I get here.
WorldCon inparticular was full of great advice for e-publishing. also, there seems to be a lot of crap out there, so either a) My stuff will stand out head and shoulders above the rest or b) My stuff will fit right in. So I guess i have a chance, eh?
Mostly, I have been having an incredible upsurge in need to write lately, so I am going to.
