You soun...You most certainly do not sound crochety! You sound spot on! Every single self-published book I've read to date does not match the quality of a traditionally published book, and I have read 50 plus books this year alone. And, like you said, many of them have fabulous stories and some very good writing that could have been tweaked to excellence if the author had a little self-control. I think what you lacked in this article was the need for authors to have immediate self-gratification. Authors are publishing books after a rewrite or two and several rejections, when the statistics say ten years to publish your first novel. Thank you for standing up for this issue. I enjoyed your article very much and will link it to my website at www.jaimiengle.com.<br />jaimienglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17158085151263329417noreply@blogger.com
