Itching

I'm itching to share what I've been working on so hard for the past month and a half, but I have to keep reminding myself not to get ahead of the train. It's distracted me to the point of consuming my thoughts for full days at a time, of what can I share or not share, so to prevent myself from entering an infinite loop of non-productive work periods, I will leave the sharing well enough alone for the time being. Instead, I will be focusing on my research into conventional publishing, and self publishing.

It seems to be a subject that lacks clear information for those seeking it, muddied by the age of technology and a system that is yet struggling to catch up with the modern desires of the populous. I want to open this topic up to discussion to the readers as well. If you have thoughts or suggestions on the subject, please feel free to post them in the comments.

Similarly, I may run an article or two on the subject of Independent Game Development, and the age of crowd funding. It has swept through the games industry, both digital and traditional (board games), and has lit a new creative fire under the feet of many who thought their dreams would never see the light of day because they could not find a publish/company that would help their product get to market.

I look forward to discussing these in further detail, and posting my findings going forward on both subjects.

First up:
Self publishing. Pitfall or new forum for success? Let the research begin.
