funny how the more things change the more they stay the same. or more accurately the more things come full circle. we are solidly back in an era where the more you write and the less time you waste on editing and polishing the more rewarding financially you become. only difference now is we don't have to sell to magazines or publishers, unless we want to, but that takes time. or we can go directly to consumers. you can write a short story one day and have it ready to be bought and sold the next. you can write a novel in 3 or 4 weeks and have it published on the 5th week. you can write 2 novellas and have them both published under your own imprint in the same month. the more product you produce, the more money you make, and that's without hitting any homeruns. but eventually you will hit a home run or two and that will bring in some nice extra ching you didn't count on. note: sorry about the lack caps where they should be. i beat the shit out of my 3 years old laptop and now the cap locks and the left shift command no longer works...
