Writing is an art. And a craft. And a business. Sometimes keeping all those things straight is a bit of work. When to do the writing? The networking? The marketing? The book-work?
It used to be easier when a writer just wrote something, sent it off and either got it back or got a contract. That was before e-publishing took off and everything changed.
I’ve noticed that even the articles about the newest things in e-publishing usually include a caveat that what they are telling the reader could change any moment.
It’s exciting to be a part of such a changing, churning landscape. And challenging. But I don’t think I’d want any other job.
