As a storyteller I tire, as a reader I fear.



One day, perhaps sooner than any of us expect, there will be no more storytellers. The brave and creative souls that tear a bit of their soul off and reshape it into an entertaining, heart wrenching or exciting tale will no longer be able to craft their works. The return on their expenses will dwindle away to nothing as they lose the ability to communicate with their audiences and their work either gets pirated or devalued to the point where they can't even pay operating costs.


Already, many of the authors that I enjoy reading have slowed or stopped their work altogether. I wonder...when will they all disappear?
