the workaday work of a day.

[lagilman]

The day's frustration of "why is this book not DONE YET?" is, thankfully, tempered by "oooo, neat" discoveries as I go along.

And that's why I slog on through. Not for the end product, although that is deeply satisfying, not to mention rent-paying, but for the "oh wow, that's how this fits in here, and if they do that it's because of this, and everything suddenly makes sense why I built it up that way! Kewl!"

But, seriously. The book needs to be done now.


Meanwhile, if anyone out there knows a Brian Graston of Pueblo, Colorado? You might want to advise him to lawyer up. Running a pirated books website -- and advertising it! -- is stupid enough. Doing it with (among others) JK Rowling's books is asking to get your balls handed to you.

(also? the pdf files are crap. Not worth the effort to save a few bucks.)

Moron.

EtA: Twice a Moron. Apparently, Mr. Ellison's up there, too. And now, so are Mr. Ellison's lawyers. Blood in the water, much? (Jeezus. What part of "if writers don't earn a living you don't get new entertainment" do these people still not grok?)

Mr. G. apparently had a bad few days. Site's down.

Where'd he advertise? Google comes up bupkis on his name and any combination of book, piracy, Pueblo, Colorado, ebook. Maybe he's dead now.

At his screen-name forum (I refuse to give him any hits by linking) he was advertising:"as promised, the update is complete. All of the e-books are now up and ready to go. With a grand total of 17,533 books, by approximately 1400 authors. Damn."

The legal name was gotten by an Interested Party investigating who owns the site.

Ahh. I was looking for a way to find him so as to assist in the takedown. Being unemployed for the moment gives me a little free time to do stuff like that.
