Creative differences
October14
Holy canole.
Cory Doctorow and Ursula K Le Guin have had a bit of a dust-up, with Andrew Burt (of SWFA, Submitting to the Black Hole, and Critters fame) as a go-between.
Patrick and I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago about e-publishing, copyright, and Creative Commons licensing. I have a lot of proto-ideas and opinions, about how publishing works and could work differently; what it means to be a writer; what value I place on commercial use and financial gain; about the differences between netspace and meatspace, and in which one my work is most likely to find a life. I still have a lot of reading and thinking to do. This situation has given me more to think about.
