Is lowering the bar to entry leading to less quality fiction?
We are having a new roof put on an outbuilding this month and are having to deal with a refrigerator issue that requires taking everything out of the refrigerator. Writing time this month is restricted, to say the least.
My thoughts have been with the explosion of ebooks in the past couple of yearss. The whole idea of self-publishing carries a lot of caveats, but I've seen some ebooks that needed more editing and rewriting than they received. Because of that, I'm having second thoughts about it all. I still think I might try writing a book intended to be distributed as an ebook. What I don't want to do is assume that a less expensive method of producing a fictional story should be an excuse to skimp on the editing.
