Being Here Now: Alternative Strategies for Documentation
PNCA
--posted by Lisa Radon
This was the most satisfying TBA panel I have ever attended, not because there were grand revelations or that I was deeply inspired, not even that the chat held to its stated topic, but because it wasn't completely maddening, thanks to a smart panel that was generous about passing the baton (or mic) and a smart moderator who kept things on track and clipping right along.

Thank you for extending our panel discussion so ably via your post to the blog. I'm grateful. My comment is simply to correct one thing: As moderator, I pointed out that we write differently when we write for money (versus writing for free), not that we are sullied or in any way disabled by payment. I write for money all the time, and encourage everyone who so wishes to do it too. When I write for money, I ascribe to various habits and dictates that my publisher brings to the task. When I write for free, this kind of shaping is much less definitive and is negotiated quite differently. The difference deserves to be noted.
