Chalk up another first draft finished. “Spired” is done. Might keep that name, might not.

I made good on my threats to resubmit “The Lifeboat” and “Whispers of the Future” on Sunday.

Every CompUSA in Georgia is closing. Can anyone tell me how CompUSA expects to clear out their inventory selling items at 30% discount when they’re already 120% off? I found it amusing that the chain still doesn’t see why they’re losing business to the e-tailers. Even liquidating their store, they’re overpriced.

A similar phenomenon will eventually apply to writers, and those that adapt will be the pixel-stained, technopeasant wretches making good off the new business model, while those that stick to the old methods might do well in a niche market…until their customer base finds better deals. Just ask CompUSA.

We will all be affected, and we must adapt. This isn’t a question of personal preference or taste. It’s a question of survival.
