(2010-08-15) Rao Everyone Should Write Book

Venkatesh Rao says everyone should write a book. *Writing A Book is an act that transforms you. I’d go further. It transforms you in a way almost nothing else can... If you write anything that weighs in over 25,000 words, and has a Coher Ent Narrative through it, it’s a “book” as far as I am concerned. Keep in mind though, that it can only transform you if you have the courage to let others choose whether to read it. Self-publishing and vanity publishing are legitimate in my mind. Non-publishing is not.
