Great, Book Publishing Going the Way of Churn-it-out Journalism

Poor authors. This New York Times article notes how writers who used to be able to put out a book a year and focus on making it the best - now have to do two books and short stories in between to feed the e-book appetite and to stay in the cultural in-group.

One writer does it by writing 2000 words a day, starting at 9am and going till 'Colbert' (usually at 6 or 7pm??), 7 days a week. 

Some authors don't even get revenue for the short stories. Not cool. 

Seems like no one but the billionaires and the trust fund kids have it easy these days.
