Is POD the same as e-books? I've seen several folks mention they're being published by online publishers.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Because books.
POD is print on demand.

Print on Demand I know, but I was wondering about the distribution mechanism. How do people know it's there to be printed?

Because books.
I actually don't know the answer to that. I assume it's the author's responsibility to promote it, either over the web or in ads or whatever.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Which is precisely what I'm doing anyway, except instead of keeping whatever profit there might ever be from all that work, I'm getting a small royalty and SMP keeps the rest.
Yes, I'm feeling a bit jaded with publishing. But that's not new. And no, I'm not going to stop everything mid-process and devote myself to PODing the Kinkaids or anything else, not just yet.
But I like having the choice. Right now, I feel I have none. And I am insistent on having choices.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, deb. All kinds of ~ma to your friend and to those who love her.

Mother
The hair is stiff; it prickles against my hand as I run it up and down her arm. She’s so still, it’s inhuman. I want to touch her face, kiss her, hug her, tell her one more time that I love her. But I am afraid. Afraid that if my touch wakes her, it won’t be her waking up. Afraid that if I if I touch her, the touches, the caresses will turn into digging. Digging into her skin, her muscle to find her. She’s gone and all I see in front of me is a dead piece of meat.
