And a lot of them have to do with the people in publishing, which is interesting..."People like your book more if other people like it" and "Humans get excited about new things. With a debut, you are the new thing. With every other book you write the new thing must come from elsewhere."

Interesting article, thanks.

Great article. It says a lot of the truths about writing, mentions the pitfalls, yet gives the promise that, if done right, it could all be worth it.

Everyone is worried about the future of the book. But that is because people hate uncertainty. On the other hand, if you hate uncertainty you shouldn't be a writer in the first place.
I love this point!
 
Authors shouldn't go to book fairs any more than chickens should go to Nando's.
I have to laugh, because, you see, I work in Nando's. LOL

Jokes appart, It is a really good article, but I don't agree with all of them (and that is the opinion of someone who never published nothing so far and is still far away of doing it).
