Part of me fears that "indie" has become so widely used as to become meaningless. The other part of me fears that it is the "anti" term, meaning that it's defined not by what it "is," but rather what it "isn't." <br /><br />As you said, we're all searching for something new, something wildly innovative, but it's really impossible to step wholly outside one tradition or another. Yet by consciously trying to step outside of tradition, we're also creating our own traditions. Which alone is worthwhile.Nick Koczhttp://www.nickkocz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-63845215542035174372011-08-13T11:27:46.632-04:002011-08-13T11:27:46.632-04:00Great thought-provoker for someone like me who is ...Great thought-provoker for someone like me who is shifting from corporate publishing to indie publishing.

As an "indie" writer, I fully embrace the independent publishing model, but as a librarian in a farily traditional library system, I find my collection development policies prevent me from purchasing much independent work. I inhabit both worlds, am not fully comfortable in either, and this article really resonated with me. Thanks so much!jennysararyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04332095941998956188noreply@blogger.com
