time I share those pieces that I think might apply to software. This is
about books and I don't know if this relates 100% to software publishing,
but for some of you I think it might. Is there 'crap' software written and
published? You make the call.]

A Saturday Rant 8-12-2006
IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A WRITER
I read a monograph recently that said that this was a terrible time to
be a writer.
This is a great time to be a writer... either fiction or non. There are
more publishers than ever. There is more media access than ever. There
are emerging nations of new readers looking for material. There are
more places to market intellectual property. Indeed, there is more
opportunity than ever before for a writer or an artist, musician....
even poets... if they know a little about lyrics.
Why do you think there are so many people wanting to write... or
"trying" to write? My take is because they see an opportunity to "make
it."
How else does an unknown woman writer, on welfare (the dole) in the UK
end up with more money than the royal family?
What I have said for years and years and years is that one problem we
have in our society is that we don't have many GOOD writers or GOOD
artists. You can debate the hell out of this, but bottom line, so much
of the stuff that we are presented with is plain old unadulterated
crap.
