The "scratches" and "just glops thrown out half-assed" bits were over the line of the intention of the piece. It's not the effort I was meaning to attack (but using the terms 'scratches' and 'glops' and 'half-assed' did just that), but the attitude that an electronic file was a suitable final resting place for that effort. If I thought the efforts themselves were not any good I'd hardly be upset that they aren't going to be in print.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Looks like you're not always a dick, Jim. I guess that's better than a lot of people manage.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
SO, on the constructive side - many people live in towns with independant bookstores. Sometimes they are very interested in carrying freebooks and chatbooks and the like - some will even give you some of your money!. It is one way to get something you've printed 'out-there' on some physical level, which I think has merit, and is something that A LOT more people are doing now-a-days.
