It's my birthday, who wants an icon?

[meeks]

As the greetings that started coming in this afternoon have reminded me, it's my birthday today! (Bouu...I'm getting old >.< ) So, just for fun, if anyone donates $1 or more before the end of this weekend, I'll make you a 100px x 100px icon as a thank you gift. Examples of icons I've made can be found here. Click the donate button at the bottom of any of my art posts or just use this one:

Thanks to anyone who participates!

Bookstore Observations by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

[ysabetwordsmith]

  I'm fascinated (and somewhat disturbed) by the "Bookstore Observations" article by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Apparently Barnes & Noble is drastically reducing the amount of floorspace allotted to actual books, as opposed to games or coffee or e-readers or other stuff.  I like having more format variety because ebooks reach some folks who dislike paper books.  But I wouldn't want to do that at the cost of being able to walk into a bookstore and enjoy a massive selection of paper books ... and that's the way the market is heading.

Also, check out the donation button!  This article is crowdfunded nonfiction, which isn't very common, and it's very detailed and very well thought-out.  If you're into writing, reading, or publishing at all then please consider tipping the writer.
