It is very hard to find information since it is scattered and not at all categorized. I'm hoping that people will be able to answer questions for themselves, by scanning photographs.

I’ve created a wiki and I’m working on organizing photographs, names, and eye-witness accounts, by neighborhood, in Orleans Parish. It is very hard to find information since it is scattered and not at all categorized. I’m hoping that people will be able to answer questions for themselves, by scanning photographs.

Mostly because the publishing industry has become filled with navel gazing editors and agents and writers trying to please each other for the five cents profit they will make. As best as I can tell, the lot of them don't know what they are doing. Their marketing plans rely on "if we build it they will come." Writers care more about the opinions of reviewers (good reviews sell books!!) and agents than the people they are supposed to be writing for. And the publishers publish what they think will work. Based on what I don't know. But for the likes of my community I get about one good book every 3-5 years. So, taking the Hughtrain to heart, next year will be the debut of my micropublishing company. Screw traditional publishing, I say. Thanks, as always, for your great thoughts and humor. I roll my eyeballs, too.
