Interesting Stephen King essay in last week’s Entertainment Weekly about the ‘laziness of baby boomers’ as an explanation for why King’s books don’t sell in the numbers they used to. I checked the ET website over the weekend and couldn’t find a link; checking again just now, searching the site a different way, I did find a link, and added it to the Blinks column on the Locus Online homepage.
He makes interesting points, though as a rule I’m suspicious of ‘it was so much better in the old days’ arguments. There are usually other explanations…
Between the holidays, family visits, planning parties, and a week-long formal assessment of our process maturity at my day-job, it’s been busy lately, but I’ll try to resume daily posts here presently. How did I ever get everything done in the old days when I wrote a Locus review column– and in December had a best-of-year list and essay to compose as well??
