Would be a good place to expand on "Slices of Life" and your Kindle discoveries. Be the first! before it closes. Back to Michael's post...there's something to be said about the role of distraction and following links endlessly, our heads bobbing with new ideas that then re-emerge in whatever one happens to be writing, whether plot or post.

Contrast: Took me three weeks to receive conventional printed copy in the mail... Just want to share this amazement: Writers, readers, stand up and cheer: a new world of publishing books is here. (...Of course, there is nothing like the feel of paper in one's hands.) No more ingenuous amazement expressed from me on this subject... First-time for me publishing like this has been done: now I feel naif and stunned. Maybe this will encourage others out there...
