Anyone else notice an irony in Breslin writing about an industry reeling from the proliferation of Internet-based content distribution when she’s using the same system to distribute “content” she was not able to sell … and now we’re talking about it?

In any event, nice piece J. Maureen, thanks for posting it.

First, J. Maureen: well, yeah, of course. But you’d better not plan you next month’s expenses on it. Or next year’s.

Second, the story itself. I can see why other places wouldn’t publish the story. It was dull. It took forever to get to whatever point is was going to make, though I’m not sure what it is , given I gave up on it after three pages. Maybe the author could speak about why SHE pulled the piece for publication. Hopefully it wasn’t because somebody wanted to edit it so it made sense.

Or perhaps only necessary until someone comes up with a viable business model for the monetization of digital content delivery that gets widespread buy-in from both creators and their potential audience.

Has she made any money? Or was her point to make this larger point about how “dead” print it?

Every freelancer I know has a few great stories sitting in inventory, killed. Do people have to read them? Maybe. Or maybe it’s a job that didn’t work out and you go sell something else and don’t freak out that your very own personal vision was ignored. It’s standard, annoying and happens to anyone who writes for dead-tree publishers.

It’s nice to be entrepreneurial, but freelancers have to pay their bills, so writing for those vision-stifling old farts who still sign checks is generally necessary.
