Not with paper prices where they are these days.

I haven't done the research recently, but I assume that the cost of printing and distributing physical books is still less than a lot of people assume it is.

It’s more like you should have 5-10 readers. If they all say the same thing they’re right. If half think the pacing is too slow and half think it’s too fast you are probably spot on.

It's more likely that your pacing isn't consistent and is both too fast and too slow.

The money in literary fiction is even worse.

You are basically working for exposure until someone puts it on a screen.

There’s one person I really wish still posted here. He’d light this place up.

Did Orson Scott Card ever post on HN? Does anyone know which username?

Someone you get nuked to hell here for mentioning.
