In some ways i think cool, with social media an forum sites we all can get to say wot we need to…be it poetry, short stories, novels etc
But the down side…it’s also killing the art, to many ‘liking’ or supporting boring or bottom line…crap writing…any idiot can write a few sentences…a poem it don’t necessarily make!
Like TV, with few channels, generally the quality of programming is better, with 100s of channels quality suffers
Is not the medium that’s the problem…the problem is everyone thinks they can write…so real readers those who know their shit and are decerning about wot they read…disappear away from the mundane…they people us amateurs are trying to impress
Hmm if all else fails…kidnap a publishers family 😆
