And remember that "overnight success" can come in the form of a book suddenly selling well after years of being available. So maybe your audience is out there and will find your book later.Janet/Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232536708936513155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-61247758643290957972012-01-15T12:34:28.975-05:002012-01-15T12:34:28.975-05:00It's nice to know we're trying to solve th...It's nice to know we're trying to solve this problem together, Vonnie.

But that's kind of "pie in the sky" thinking, too, isn't it? I'm hoping for more comments...more experienced comments than mine.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.com
