As an author of fiction, I find myself wondering where the traditional book will be a decade from now (not to mention the institution of traditional publishing). I do fear I'll find myself joining you -- in longing for the crisp turn of the page in a newly printed book.

Mason-Thanks...I am glad you all enjoyed the post. <br /><br />Mason-Thanks for stopping by. :-)<br /><br />Simon-I didn't know there were still markets only excepting snail mail submissions. I might have to send them something just because of that. <br /><br />Terry-I am not sure everyone would agree with me that it lowers the bar...but I think it is true. <br /><br />Debra-I just sent something out today and have already checked email 39 times--as if they are going to answer that quickly. :-)Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850852586149578236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-37193210495883123512010-06-15T12:59:28.357-06:002010-06-15T12:59:28.357-06:00I can totally relate to checking e-mail every seve...I can totally relate to checking e-mail every seventeen minutes when I'm waiting to hear back from someone!Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-46247123973808113912010-06-15T12:51:31.064-06:002010-06-15T12:51:31.064-06:00I know what you mean.
