"I will buy you a new life..."-Everclear, I Will Buy You a New Life
Good news! Publishing may be tightening its belt, but apparently it's not all doom and gloom. Thanksgiving weekend went well---perhaps a precursor for Christmas sales? Perhaps consumers have decided that $8 for a book that will give them at least a few days of enjoyment is a better buy than $20 for a DVD that they'll watch once for two hours?
Also, according to Kristin Nelson's blog publishers are still acquiring briskly. Sounds pretty good to me. Who knows? Maybe there will even only be this one round of layoffs and that'll be it. Not too bad of an escape, given the state of the economy. Either way, things are looking up. Expect less chicken little and more about writing next week.
