"You're right. It is diversified. I read Shadow of a Whisper by Carlos Zafron on and nearly missed that half of it was a novel that was supposed to be written in the past by a fictitious author named Julian Carax. My friend loaned me the book…"

"Actually, just bought a bunch of books--used--in Hoboken--new on Amazon. Are we writers alone in buying books?"

Rochelle Jewel Shapiro commented on the blog post '"Why Isn't Jennifer Weiner Complaining More? (Even Though We Usually Complain That She Complains Too Much!)"'
"Truthfully, Jonathan Franzen writes the great American novel. Ann Tyler has always gotten her due although her work is in a lighter vein. Jennifer Weiner does write chick-lit and we love her for it, bu it isn't high art. It isn't going to…"

Rochelle Jewel Shapiro replied to the discussion 'SHEWRIMO: SHE WRITES NOVEMBER WRITING CHALLENGE, NOVEMBER 8th'
"So glad that someone said how difficult it had been to accomplish over 2,000 words today. My fantasy is that others are just rat-a-tatting them out while I struggle!"

"I get so f'ing sleepy when I write. I just woke up. Two hours of sleep after just a couple of paragraphs. Ugh."

"Thank you so much, Sharon. What a great resource you are. When I read that article, my chin was on the floor. I'm looking up now. Best, Rochelle"
Shawn Lamb replied to the discussion 'Now that libraries will download books on patron's Kindles, what is the fate of self-publishing an E-Book' in the group Publishing Industry News
"I don't know how they track the 14 days, but that is the limit attached when an e-book is purchased for 'lending'. Perhaps they notify the patron or the screen goes blank.
I don't think the self-publish manners as much…"
Rochelle Jewel Shapiro replied to the discussion 'Now that libraries will download books on patron's Kindles, what is the fate of self-publishing an E-Book' in the group Publishing Industry News
"Sharon, Thank you so much. How do they define the 14 days? The patron gets the book for 14 days only? I wonder how it's removed from Kindle after their 14 days are over? Also, couldn't the parton renew? I only heard about this in the…"

"I queried Amazon about this and they came back with the standard answer of placing it under the 'lending' policy of 14 days that ever Kindle author is forced to agree. As a result of clever legal wording, authors won't receive…"

Libraries will now be downloading E-Books on patrons Kindles
Posted on September 22, 2011 at 8:05pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have been following the self-publishing posts regularly, and now, how is a writer to make money if his ebook can be dowloaded free at the library? Do you realize that if a patron reserved a book he would have to wait his turn to read it. Now the libraries can dowload a book into 50 kindles in a day. Sigh.

Yeah I certainly understand Rochelle,
Ive joined like 5 or 6 of these kinds of places like SheWrites but it took a year before I started noticing that I kept coming back to this one and it sort of became an inspirational home base for me but I hadnt really gotten into any of the groups so I saw that you could submit a group so I made the group I wanted to be in, hence Blooming Late. I hope that you will share with us your needs from a group and see if we cant accomodate, your thoughts and ideas can only make us better!
This group has already inspired me so much! I hope it can do the same for you!

I witnessed the sun rise over Harlem. Harlem NYC.How different it is to wake up here than in Raleigh. No birds singing. No birds in sight. No grass, few trees. No greenery to be seen. But I have found a LOVE for it. I walked down Lenox Avenue, 125th…See More
