Blogging to Reinvent Commercial Publishing Model

Never before has a venue shown so much potential for disturbing the status quo of such a long established methodology: write, propose, wait, propose, wait.., etc. The current centralized control of the publishing activity that is vested with the publishing industry is similar to that of recording industry where the Internet is proving to be more of a "disruptive technology" than at first believed by the installed players. Resulting to legal maneuvering to stop "peer-to-peer" transfers and the attempt to legislate "intended activity" to stop devices with the potential for copying only shows that the Internet is in the process of dislodging the current holders of the portal keys and throwing open the doors to any interested parties.

Blogs and the ePublishing that it will eventual spawn will attack the publishing houses at their very control element: the ability to distribute new works, but only after locking up the author for years to come. Blogs will change this as people will find the fiction from authors that otherwise the publishing houses would never give the time of day, let alone the chance to have the world peruse their work.

The world of artfully crafted fiction is beginning to change and those that are now in charge are finding their grasp loosening ever so slightly. But this is how any revolution begins: an idea that seems crazy to those with paradigm blinders on their eyes, ridicule and laugh while the new idea gains ground slowly and ever so perceptively. Remember when people laughed at Steven Jobs and Bill Gates -- ahem, IBM ;-)

Welcome to eNovels!!

This is the beginning of an eNovels blog that will provide both the outlet for my own novels, short stories, and musings as well as others that have a yearn to write something that might tough someone in the electronic media. The venue of the Internet is and will change publishing forever since no longer will it be under the control or limitations of current "publishing houses" that have strict business and editorial goals to meet. The blogger method of publishing and distribution can not but impact the core of "what is fit to print" as the New York Times slogan banners.

So come back often, and be willing to comment, add your own epistle, or simply enjoy the writings that one will find unvieled. The art of writing is simply that -- just write! Don't hesitate, overanalyze, or underestimate: simply write. The activity of writing is one of the purely humanistic efforts where anyone can participate.

Finally, grammar and spelling, while interesting and somewhat important, need not prevent one from making comments or adding their own works.

Remember: "those that do, write; those that can't, criticize; and those that don't do either, enjoy." [Nanouk, 2002].

Please join us for your choice of activities; all will be welcome as long as one is civil.
