Should you ever write for free? And are some authors editor-proof? Today Peter takes a break from Scribd-bashing to answer some questions… but never fear, we’ll be back on the pirate’s case again tomorrow.
In today’s Write Report, Donna reports that the Thai laws against insulting the monarchy rear their ugly head again – to crush opposition and free speech. And an author gives away one Kindle per hour to purchasers – the sales promotion was hugely successful and created an instant bestseller.
In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she finds a site in which artist Lucy Pepper gets animated about inspiration.

Thanks for picking up on Lucy's animated drawing, Eve. I think you've amalgamated two of her pieces when you were talking about them – there's the one about shoes (which is my absolute favourite): http://www.lucypepper.com/pt/blog/18-blog/1894-a-... and the one about inspiration (which I think shows the way to animated children's books): http://www.lucypepper.com/pt/blog/18-blog/1895-in... (To see what got Peter so amused you need to go down to the 'inside' section at the bottom of the home page (as it were).)
Sorry, they have shoes in, don't they? Peter was right…
