  8. The Struggle of Consistency: When You Have Too Much to Say and Sometimes Need a Break

    One of the biggest misconceptions people have about blogging is that inconsistency always comes from a lack of ideas. People imagine the writer sitting in front of a blank screen, staring at an empty document, desperately trying to think of something, anything, to write about. Sometimes that does happen. Writer's block is real. But for me, that is rarely the problem. If anything, I have the opposite issue. I often have too many ideas, too many topics, too many directions I could take. Instead […]

  17. Although it is still difficult for authors to make big bucks in China,what I envy about their publishing ecosystem is that there's a robust digital webnovel scene where anyone can publish serialized stories on platforms accessed by millions. There's also a system where readers can unlock new chapters with credits, film studios can buy rights to novels.

  19. When Platforms Punish External Links

    By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

    Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — April 22, 2026

    For many Filipinos, publishing online does not stop at one platform. Writers link to their blogs. Journalists link to news sites. Small businesses link to stores and booking pages. On X, that basic behavior often comes with a cost.

    This essay looks at how suppressing external links works as a business practice, and why it harms Filipino creators, journalists, and small businesses.

    Links Are the Internet’s Core Feature

    Links are how the internet was built. They let readers move freely from one place to another. They allow creators to own their work and grow audiences beyond any single platform.

    When platforms respect links, users can build real value. When platforms punish links, users are trapped inside one system. That choice changes the internet from an open network into a closed funnel.

    What Link Suppression Looks Like in Practice

    Many users report the same pattern. Posts with external links get fewer views. Replies with links travel less. Accounts that regularly point people elsewhere lose reach over time.

    The platform rarely explains these changes. There is no clear notice and no appeal. The message is indirect but clear: stay inside the ecosystem or accept reduced visibility.

    This behavior is not random. It is repeatable.

    Why This Is an Anti-Competition Move

    When a platform discourages links to outside sites, it is protecting itself from competition. Readers are kept from leaving. Creators are pushed to publish only where the platform controls attention and data.

    For Filipino users, this is especially damaging. Many rely on outside websites for income, donations, or sales. When links are suppressed, earnings drop. Growth stalls.

    This is not about quality. It is about control.

    The Impact on Filipino Journalism

    Independent journalism in the Philippines depends on links. Reporters need to share full stories, sources, and documents. When those links are buried, news struggles to reach readers.

    Large outlets may survive. Small and local ones often do not. Link suppression quietly weakens public information while claiming to protect “engagement.”

    A platform that harms news access harms democracy and business at the same time.

    Why Creators Feel Forced to Choose

    Creators should be able to publish anywhere. On platforms that punish links, they are pushed to choose between visibility and independence.

    Some stay and give up outside publishing. Others leave and lose their audience. Either way, the platform wins control while users lose options.

    That is not a healthy market. It is lock-in by design.

    Looking Ahead

    The next essay will examine how these same systems shape advertising behavior and why many brands avoid platforms with unpredictable rules.

    When links are treated as threats, the platform is no longer open.
    It is defensive.

  27. Indie Author Lab Debuts as London Book Fair Opens Its Doors to Self-Publishers with Orna Ross and Joanna Penn

    Orna Ross and Joanna Penn reflect on a landmark year at London Book Fair, where the Alliance of Independent Authors made its biggest mark yet — debuting the Indie Author Lab, a full-day event dedicated to helping indie authors go deep on their own publishing practice, and unveiling the new ALLi Indie Author Bookstore. They discuss why 2026 felt like a genuine turning point for self-publishers at the fair, what indie authors need most in an age of abundance and AI, and why discernment and individualization may matter more now than any single piece of publishing advice.
