Big changes afoot to Litopia Daily‘s format – all good, all intended to make the show more useful and entertaining for you! Peter runs through some of them today.
In today’s Write Report, Donna reveals that the plight of Salt Publishing (previously covered on Eve’s Salmagundi Club) is ameliorating… thanks to their Just-One-Book campaign on the net. And giving books away – can it ever make sense?
In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she finds a site that compares writers to exhibitionists – what do you think about that, pensters?

Regarding the question of whether writers would stop writing if they knew they would never be read — that suggests other questions. Would physicians stop practising medicine if no one was ever going to need medical attention again? Would bakers stop making pies if no one was ever going to eat a pie again? The question itself doesn't make sense.
As writers we always write with the hope (no guarantee) that we'll be read — a work of art is only complete when it reaches an audience. If there were no more readers, the same creative impulse would probably take us to another creative format. We'd make games or something. Most of us have an audience in mind when we create — even if the term "audience" is defined differently by all of us, or not defined at all.
At least that's what I think.
(I do hope someone will read this …..)
Read and in agreement.
