The news is, of course, that rather than try and ineptly fail to sell my old books, I've decided to just stick them up for free.

The reason is simple: every website I know of that's successful, every one I go back to, is one that demonstrates a certain generosity of spirit rather than just trying to sell something. Comics, mpg-animations, words, are just put out there. Content is updated on time. And since I'm notoriously bad at doing anything on time, the least I can do is provide some actual content.

Getting paid is a rough and ready way of keeping score, to be sure - you know you're good at what you do when someone pays cash money for it - but there's a world of difference between cash-value and worth.

I've contributed something. I have made things that that are worthwhile in the world, and have made the world a better place, even if they're just assemblages of words and the improvements to the world are indiscernible. I've had it with false-modesty. I do good stuff. Here's my good stuff - and if anyone thinks it isn't, well, fuck 'em, frankly, because life's too short.

That is all.
