21 Days of Dreamwidth Meme: Day 16

16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?
I kind of like taking a break from rec'ing and doing this meme for a few weeks. It lets me refocus my energies on some of the more important things in life for a little while, anyway. lol Let's just say that it's been a busy few weeks. :)

A few reads

Reading

1. kate_nepveu's post at ebooks linked to Barbara O'Neil and Jennifer Crusie talking about digital publishing. Here's an excerpt about publishing older works:

[Barbara:] I know people howl about this, but honestly, at 99c, I’m getting the same royalty I got per book in print.

[...]

Jenny: The thing about the .99 price point is that it was great at getting new readers when not very many people were doing it. And there are a lot of people who browse the .99 cent lists so it’s a way of getting new readers. But ultimately it’s a loss leader, and writers have to look at what it does to the perception of value of their books.

(More? Part 1, Part 2)

2. ira_gladkova: The OTW Server Poll and Fannish Diversity
An interesting look behind the scenes.

3. This blog about leather and leatherworking is oh so pretty. *remembers DW's limited styles, ability to post photos and/or reblog easily, and sighs*
