agilebritDuotrope's Digest, possibly one of the single most useful market search engines for writers, is going basically paid only as of January 1.
I don't blame them for this, honestly, because (a) Capitalism and (b) they're bleeding money. It takes time and cash to run a site like that. And I'll subscribe on a month by month basis, no doubt, because I can't see not using it anymore. Hell, if I got "serious" about this business, I could write it off on my taxes, because writers can do that.
But what this means in practical terms for me is that I'll probably either run my subs in batches every other month, or get a list going so that I know where stuff should be going next. I used to do that anyway and still do, in a desultory fashion, on my newer stuff. I guess I'll just have to get more dedicated about that going forward.
