Doing it because you LOVE it is so important. Unfortunately some people self publish to "be cool", "avant-garde" and to be "in with the scene". I have seen and met these assholes.
Zines...hmmm...some are great and some are just overly packed with images that the words never speak for themselves.
Self publishing?
Zines?
What are your thoughts about poets and writers publishing their own works and also the revival of zines where it seems anything goes!
The lack of enthusiasm for books from some of the people working in book shops is shocking, they hate being there...hey why not get yourself to another job and have someone there who really does give a shit about literature?? Get your Twilight wearing t-shirt ass out of here and let me in damn...
Women is my favourite by far!!
Writing in cafes? I used to do it a lot and loved observing people, I tend to carry a notebook and jot down observations (due to my job I don't get the time to sit before work) and then I write mostly at weekends.
