she swings so high
the clouds come near
then fall away

Has internet publishing hit a plateau?

“Internet publishing has hit a certain plateau. As a field, it’s come a long way—larger and broader readership accessed, in general better and better work being published. That said, I think that internet publishing has reached a stage where if we, internet publishers and authors invested in the internet as a publishing venue, don’t come together in some way, a way that uniquely works for who we are and what we’re wanting to achieve, we may lose some of the momentum we’ve built over the past, say, 5-7 years.”

country night sky
filled with stars
intoxicates the city girl

My first nine words

So much for 5-7-5.
