Geek Force Utterz #012 - Being a Writer Sucks

by E. Christopher Clark | Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Yesterday, I watched Gary Vaynerchuk’s Web 2.0 Keynote Address and ended up really, really, sad. In today’s Geek Force Utterz call, I talk a little bit about why I was so sad. It has a lot to do with how the written word (specifically fiction, my drug of choice) seems like it’s supposed to stay as far away from modern technology as it can. I also talk a bit about the stigma of self-publishing and the frustration of trying to make money doing the thing you love when the thing you love isn’t really valued by all that many people anymore.

It’s a really upbeat, inspiring call! No, I swear!
