free-for-all-friday

Haven’t done this in quite a while, so I figured it was time.

Mainly because I have nothing going on that’d be worth talking about. :no:

It’s Free-For-All Friday. :wootrock:

There’s no subject pending, and the blog is open to whatever may come.

Got a question, any question?  Bring it.  Comment on anything?  Post it.  Vent?  Go for it.  Are you a lurker who comes to peek but never participate?  Feel free to join in.  :welcome:

Hell, I’ll even go first…

Is it just me, or is anyone else out there starting to feel like the “real world” of publishing is a fortress on some exclusive, remote little island in the bluest part of the bluest pacific, which can only be reached by being the sole survivor of a shipwreck, half-drowning before you reach the shore, finding a way to navigate the alligator-ridden moat that circles The Castle, fighting your way across acres of swampland, climbing the glass-sheer face of the surrounding mountain, promising the guardian sentry your first-born child—and then being told they’ll get back to you in a few months or so only if they’re interested? :shock:

Go for it.Â
