This blew my mind! And it ought to blow yours. Are you reading what you want to read? Or, are you reading what's been hyped to you? Kinda shows that big publishing is a business first and foremost (forget the surveys asking you what you like). That bestseller that is on Kindles around the globe is that good. Really.Keep telling yourself that. Because the company that just shelled out 100K in advertizing just told you so. And let's face it you don't want to be the odd person out on Book Chat Night. Do you? Makes writers everywhere, who don't play the game, who work their butts off, shake their heads in wonder. But we keep on writing because we can't stop. We love our creations even when no one else does.
So go to the link below and see how we all are gamed every day.
