Writing Your Novel on Your Mobile

I use this example a lot in my talks but I thought I'd put the link here so I can find it again.

Check out this article from the Sydney Morning Herald from last December, which talks about how half of the top selling books in Japan at the time were written on mobile phones!

Amazing eh? They weren't read or makreted on the mobiles. They were written there.

"Remarkably, half of Japan's top 10 selling works of fiction in the first six months of the year were composed the same way - on the tiny handset of a mobile phone. They sold an average of 400,000 copies. By August, the president of Goma Books, Masayoshi Yoshino, was declaring in a manifesto that he was determined "to establish this not simply as a fad, but as a new kind of culture"."

Just interesting.
