Just wanted to forward a link to another great post by James Scott Bell.
As all writers know, the landscape is in great flux for writers right now. The rise of digital books, indie publishing, and the continuing transformation and expansion of how traditional publishers do business. It's a lot to keep on top of.
James Scott Bell is a great writer and always strives to pay it forward with helpful posts on the industry such as this one. You can read this latest Kill Zone post here:

James Scott Bell's Post over at The Kill Zone
I highly recommend reading James Scott Bell's post today over at The Kill Zone. You can read it here:

Before you click away thinking, "I'm so sick of the debate between traditional publishing and self publishing", I ask you to give it a read anyway. While Mr. Bell certainly does make a case for why he chooses to both traditionally publish and self publish, what was most engaging to me was his infectious attitude in going after his writing.
In short, he knows how to "git-er-done" when it comes to writing and getting his work out there. THAT is probably the single greatest battle for any writer, and I'm not talking about rejections from a publisher. In order to be published in any form, we have to do the work--we have to write the story and either provide or procure the cover design, technical know-how and marketing of our books.
But no one can read what we haven't written. And THAT is the main attraction of Mr. Bell's blog post. Go read, and be inspired!
