What I find amazing is that the pace of book reading appears to have picked up. I've always read a great deal. Now, even with all the time I spend writing, I'm reading more books than I did.
And those readers aren't shy about asking for what they want. Commenting on this same article on another blog, one author said she'd had a reader visit her blog and curse her out for not having another book out by now. Civility may be dead, but reading is way up.
Unfortunately I'm a slow writer. Six months into my next novel, I'm only 1/3 done. I revise constantly. I know people say not to do that, but I feel having the start of the book laid out as I want it, makes the rest of the book easier to write.
