My point is, sometimes we’re swept in events larger than ourselves. It’s easy to think of selling something as winning or losing, but the more I think about it in the context of storytelling, the more I think it’s not right. A book is not an Olympic runner. You can’t bet on it to achieve in the world where every rule can be bent. If a story needs to be told, it can be told in other ways, and there is always audience, somewhere. It just needs to be reached.

Just my opinion, of course.

Thanks for the great blog!
