I've been playing with the idea of writing one of my many ideas and self-publishing. With the service Amazon.com and others provide, there's really nothing keeping me from doing except the expense of promoting it.
It's a brave thing to put yourselves out there like that and more power to you.
I want to work with Kripke!! Just like ya'll and I'll join the ranks of those who are older than Jensen.. but only by two years. *sheepish*
