Aside from his non-fiction collection of essays, how many novels has Jonathan Franzen written since his meteoric rise to stardom for The Corrections, for which he deservedly received the 2001 National Book Award?

    With hundreds of thousands of writers vying for space in cyberspace, struggling to get a foot in the door of an agent, or heaven forbid a publisher, isn’t it remarkable that, with the exception of a few hardy stragglers, the same handful of authors appears on the New York Times Best Seller list month after month? One of my favorite writers of contemporary thrillers, Ken Follett, produces a quality novel once every three or four years. It’s taking him considerably longer to research and write the sequel to his historical fiction masterwork, Pillars of The Earth.

    Clearly, the publishing world has become mega corporate moneymaking where, in the words of one of its mega CEOs, you “publish or perish.” There is only one reason to write a book today: for PROFIT through the cookie-cutter culture of American consumerism.

    Belgium's Domain Name
    On my little search for free and or cheap domains I came across the site www.dnp.in.

If you’re on the giving end, certainly this is not the desired respo

    So what’s a writer to do? A few years ago I watched an interview with the late Anthony Quinn. When asked why he became an actor he replied, “I didn’t know what else to do. In fact I didn’t even know how to act. But I studied pros like Lawrence Olivier, I worked hard and I was a lucky s-b.”
