On whitewashed covers

[yendi]

I've been mostly off LJ this week, as work has seen way too much shit hitting way too fast a fan.

But if you're going to read one blog post this week, how about this one, from Justine Larbalestier (who might be a better blogger than she is a novelist, and I say this with the knowledge that she's a kick-ass novelist), on book covers, whitewashing by publishers, and how people do (no matter what we all might say) judge a book by its cover.

Hey, thanks so much for saying that! I've always thought blogging was my true vocation.

Now if only Wordpress would start paying decent advances so authors could stop wasting their time on this faddish fiction thing.
