  1. Also, if, as a publisher, you're rallying against offset printing because you think it's burdensome, you didn't publish a NYT bestseller.
  2. @ydbxmhc I would eat my hat, the engine block from a Camaro, and a pound of sand if they'd sold 1,000 copies of any of their titles.
  3. @ydbxmhc there was a discussion on AbsoluteWrite that took me to one of those companies claiming to have published a NYT bestseller.
  4. Maybe it's because I've had ten years of living the life. But my patience for outrageous claims being made in place of results is absent.
  5. I obviously love the spirit of independent presses (documented fact), but some of these publishers are either clueless or deceitful. #ohboy
  6. @ChuckWendig thanks, Chuck. I was hoping you'd answer the question because I figured if anybody knew, it'd be you.
  7. @ChuckWendig I'm currently using a Sony HD video camera, but the stills aren't as good as I'd like them to be.
  8. @ChuckWendig it's really the video side of things I want maxxed out (without going over the top) but with slr still quality.
  9. Twitterverse - need camera for video and stills. Looking at Canon EOS 7D. Thoughts? Other suggestions?
  10. @mikecane hey, the "How to Be Succesful" manual says to use social media. I'm sure this guy's Myspace campaign is equally well thought out.
  11. @mikecane wow, I'm not even sure where to begin with listing the failures of that approach. But it would be a long list.
  12. @FeakySnucker that's what we all have to plan out while listening to music and eschewing the pursuit of cash. They are still to come.
  13. Let's all quit pretending that the pursuit of money is noble, and instead kick back & listen to the jukebox and bullshit about better days.
  14. @sabrinaogden sending good thoughts and love your way.
  15. Flea's induction speech into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame was the best induction/acceptance speech I have ever seen.
  16. Hanging out in Hell with @kiersi
  17. @Komavary Let me know what book/device and your related email address in a DM, I'll take care of the rest.
  18. @LitMusings do you need me to pick something up for you?
  19. @CrimespreeJon if I could, I would. As soon as they add delivery services...
  20. Who needs something to read today? I'll buy an ebook for the first two people to respond. #itsbecauseilovebooks
