Somewhere along the way, we have failed to advance education standards and regressed.WO Cassityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08399798694034937984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205330304266379622.post-50778712905745641032015-07-08T19:02:59.874-07:002015-07-08T19:02:59.874-07:00I think the problem is a little less that we, as w...I think the problem is a little less that we, as writers, are told to adhere to strict (unimaginative, soulless) guidelines, as much as it is that readers have become incapable (perhaps through the hand of the Traditional Pub industry) of sitting an extra hour to re-read that chapter - because maybe there was a little more under the surface.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831852528952153847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205330304266379622.post-90956191966214946622015-07-08T10:09:26.992-07:002015-07-08T10:09:26.992-07:00Sadly, this is the norm in the self-publishing ind...Sadly, this is the norm in the self-publishing industry.
