      2/ how did he "crowd out" smaller artists? were their kickstarters pushed off of the website? can people not back two kickstarters in the same month? would they have done better if he sold his book via bookstores?https://twitter.com/OceanSleepy/status/1500162558921162760 …

      Per my writer's group: less about money, it was the fact that he used Kickstarter, which is known for being a place where smaller artists and groups raise funds. Don't let him crowd out smaller authors!? The other question was: what will he do with all the money? Fund a film?

      3/ my take too I bet 1/3 or so of the people backing Sanderson's KS have never backed anything on the platform before. Now they're there, and they're realizing "wait, there are BOOKS here? GOOD ones?!?!". Good for all of us.https://twitter.com/KarlKGallagher/status/1500165797326598144 …

      Crowd out, hell. There have to be thousands of new Kickstarter accounts created just to get Sanderson's books. Some of those will check out other Kickstarters. Worked on me.

      This is true in a more general sense. Hugely successful Kickstarter for fantasy books => more people interested in seeing what fantasy literature is all about

      5/ strong agree when I started writing the Aristillus novels in 2011, I picked up a few writing magazines, looked at a few writing groups, looked into courses ... and realized that there were all procrastination tools to help one NOT writehttps://twitter.com/robkroese/status/1500166603912237058 …

      Writers' groups are support groups for people who can't sell books https://twitter.com/OceanSleepy/status/1500162558921162760 …

          But if you don't belong to a writer group, you'll never have the pleasure of hearing someone say your story should be completely rewritten and then telling him, "The deadline for the anthology was last week, so it was already submitted, and the editor has accepted it."

          It's not impossible you'll get something out of a writer's group, but I think the risks of acquiring the loser mindset are greater than the benefits

          I went to a NaNoWriMo meeting after I'd sold 5,000+ copies of Mercury Falls, because I thought I might learn something, and thought I could give people some pointers. I learned nothing, and nobody wanted to hear how I'd done it

          The only writing course I've liked is Dave Farland's. (aka Dave Wolverton) The rest seem to be grifts.
