In this week's episode I make a point of explaining how no matter what your view of the publishing industry is, you still have to do the work on your end. I've talked a lot about how there are no shortcuts. Apparently, I need to talk some more. Oh, and I may rant some about things. Important things. Biggly things. Enjoy!
