Why Books as Children is Just Plain CreepyFrom a random author interview: “My books are my children. I love them all, and could never pick a favorite.” Same author, different interview: “Oh yes, I trunked several of my children back when I was starting out.” The author at a booksigning: “Psst. Hey, you. Want to buy one of my kids? Take two, the older one and the newborn!” The bookstore staff three months later: “Time to clear some shelf space for the new arrivals. Get out there and start stripping children.” The library, where anyone can– On second thought, I should probably stop. I think we all get the idea. 3 comments to Why Books as Children is Just Plain Creepy |

So is posting snippets of the work-in-progress the same as showing everyone your latest ultrasound pics?
