		<description><![CDATA[If it had been the Sixties, we would have begun a commune. If it had been the nineties we would have started a dot-com. Because it’s the 2010s (the first two decades of a century are super annoying for nickname branding purposes), we obviously decided to start a multimedia empire.  <a href="http://indiereader.com/2013/06/on-becoming-multimedia-emperors/">&#160;Read On <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twenty-six years later, I think I finally know what “feather the clutch” means.  Do that thing that I can’t really tell you in words how to do but when you’re doing it right you’ll feel it and that sickening grinding sound will stop and you’ll sail along in the direction you want to go. <a href="http://indiereader.com/2012/12/feather-the-clutch-my-journey-to-becoming-an-indie-author/">&#160;Read On <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another reason for self publishing is the ability to exercise more control over my “intellectual property.” Yes, the middle man still exists (in my case, Amazon’s digital publishing arm), but outside of providing a “storefront,” the guy in the suit mostly sits back and collects his cut.  <a href="http://indiereader.com/2012/12/a-traditionally-pubbed-author-wades-into-the-waters-of-self-publishing/">&#160;Read On <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He doesn’t have to wait thirty or so days, for a literary agent with an exclusivity agreement to finally say, “Yes, I see potential in your work and would like to see more,” or, as is more often the case, “While your story is very good, I am not the person to represent it.”  This, by the way, could go on for a very long time. <a href="http://indiereader.com/2012/09/leaping-into-the-abyss-of-self-publishing/">&#160;Read On <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps I am different from other Indie authors who find themselves pushed into the "indie way" because of a general lack of response from the profit-driven, long-suffering commercial publishing industry, which has been reduced to a passel of lost sheepherders trying to lead their readers without direction or vision. <a href="http://indiereader.com/2012/08/goodbye-to-profit-drivenlong-suffering-sheepherders-and-hello-to-letting-readers-decide/">&#160;Read On <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>
