Toll

Random quote of the day:

“Those who toll the bell to announce the end of the novel should be asked to reflect on that verse by the poet John Donne: Aren’t they tolling the bell on their own ability to write novels?”

—Javier Reverte

(Thanks to mount_oregano for this quote.)

More e-bookery

Here are some more ETA’s to my long list of e-publishing links.

Some of these posts debate one another, which I suppose is a healthy thing. Damned confusing, though. The truth, I suspect, is that nobody really has a handle on the current truth. The publishing world is changing fast, and changing again even faster.
