Why “Self or Traditionally Publish?” is a Dumb Question

I always thought this was one of my better ramblings…

Bookshelf Q. Battler here.

BQB sounds off. BQB sounds off.

Self vs. Traditional Publishing – Which route should I take?

For awhile now, I’ve read posts that begin with this very question from a number of bloggers.

Apparently, there’s a lot of folks who feel this is an either/or proposition.

Allow me to provide my take on the issue by posing these questions:

  • Should I continue working a day job or should I put all my time and money into buying and scratching lotto tickets?
  • If a nice woman comes up to me tomorrow and expresses an interest in going out on a date with me, should I take her up on the offer or should I tell her to hit the bricks because Scarlett Johannson might (I repeat “might”) knock on my door and demand my sweet, sweet lovin?

There is a distinct possibility that Season 1 of Pop Culture Mysteries might end with Bookshelf Q. Battler being shipped off to a government black site as punishment for allowing Jake to reveal details of his WWII mission.

Thus for authenticity purposes, the blog would have to be run by another character for awhile.

Alien Jones could be the site’s acting blogger-in-chief for awhile, but I’m thinking that dubious honor might fall onto Video Game Rack Fighter.

Some of the sillier BQB stuff (Alien Jones, the Yeti) doesn’t really crossover into the Pop Culture Mysteries world well, so it would just seem as the PCM stories continue into season 2, a mention that the blog was taken over by BQB’s woman until he’s free seems more plausible in the PCM world, than that it was taken over by an alien.

(A man sleeping for 60 years is fine but aliens? No way.)

Then again, Alien Jones automatically knows what everyone is thinking, so in theory, he could just type the articles BQB is thinking in his mind, thus the site continues as is.

Or we could just hand it over to Dr. Hugo Von Science.

Or Bookshelf Q. Battledog:

Don't get too close. He's devoured ten men, bones and all.

I don’t know.  If BQB is ever unavailable, who’d be an acceptable replacement?
