Excellent analogies by Dean Wesley Smith for writers. It really is hard to ignore the promo-minded, but this is reassuring that I’m on the right track, IMO. I do need to step up the publishing pace…I’m working on it!

Need something to read? Of course you do. Head over to Carol’s site, and read today’s flash piece (which will make you shiver) and then read the start of her next serial novel (which, come to think of it, will also make you shiver…)!

Excellent, very logical post (as usual). Basically write a *lot*, and charge a fair price for your work, no matter which way you publish. I’m definitely on board with this thinking now.

This is so true - doesn’t matter what your weight is, someone will judge you poorly for it (I got more grief when I was a lower, healthier weight than I do now that I’m overweight, to be honest). We all should remember that when looking at/judging others by how they look…
