As you know, I recently decided to self-publish my first novel here on my website. It’s a decision that took a long time to make; I do think that Through Darkest Zymurgia! is good enough to be published through the normal channels. The fact is, though, is that so doing is a royal pain.

And in an astonishingly display of synchronicity, over at 2blowhards, Michael Blowhard has written a detailed description of just how and why it’s so difficult.

There’s a lengthy and interesting comments thread, too.
