Re: E-books
Self-publication of writers is generally a bad idea for a simple reason that is the exact opposite of the simple reason everyone expects. It's because everyone can write, not because most people cannot. Most people cannot play the piano or the guitar and thus have no particular desire to acquire an instrument and mimic the movements of real musicians on a stage or in front of a microphone. Pretty much everyone who made it past third grade can write, or so they think. They can write a sentence. "I went to the store and got some milk." See, we're off to the races! "There was an alien there." "He told me to take it to my leader." Twenty thousand sentences later, you have a novel! So what if the sentences are boring or ungrammatical; outside of real spaghetti, most people can pretty much grasp what a sentence is supposed to mean.
And plots? Well, there are lots of movies and TV shows and folk tales and urban legends and old stories. Plots are free!
