I am so sorry PETRA is taking so long to get up online. For a story finished three years ago, it is very reluctant to leave the nest.
I just can't get it right, it's making me crazy.
I go off and read net fiction instead. I like a quiet room to write in; finding netfiction is like sitting in a street cafe and trying to concentrate. Everytime I stall, I start clicking through reviews and glancing at promising stories.
Net communities can be risky, I've found.
I saw a nasty blow up a little while ago. A person made a lot of positive comments, then began to be less positive, then became relentlessly critical, then blew up unexpectedly in everyones face; feeling the lack of direct engagement through the process as rejection and worse, feeling an expression of other's success was intended as a direct criticism of his.
Now it seems to be happening again. Bummer.
I need to get back to my quiet world. Except it appears there is good reason to believe that electronic delivery is THE way forward for all writing. I'm a bit excited by the prospect. I wonder how quickly the general public will accept digital books. I can't see why it would take long. Trees are much loved. Hand held devices are much loved.
eFiction other than the aforementioned ghoulies and ghosties must find a place to establish itself. We live in interesting times.
