Work has been horrible and I had rush edits to do on THE SEAL IN WOLF'S CLOTHING, yesterday, still need to do the synopsis, and am now working on final line edits on DREAMING OF THE WOLF and have them due on A GHOST OF A CHANCE AT LOVE for this weekend. So I totally, totally forgot to check this blog on the 26th for comments!!!<br /><br />Sheila, thanks so much!!! Yes, absolutely. If you are inspired to write the futuristic story, go for it. The Shadow Elf was like that for me. And I also wrote a shape-shifter futuristic that someday I've got to revise and post. But I loved writing them, loved trying something new and different. It was actually my first book dealing with shapeshifters!<br /><br />Mona, thanks!!!! I HAVE to write all the time. It's like with all these edits. I go in at 11:30 this morning to work. So I'm working on the final line edits for DREAMING OF THE WOLF right now. I've already addressed the minor notes last night, and today I'm rereading the whole story to ensure we haven't missed anything. But even so, I probably won't have it done until my day off on Saturday. Then I have the other book to edit. :) Oh, and the synopsis to write for SEAL.<br /><br />It does help to have a readership. And having more books out does help to spur on even more readership! So it's a win-win situation. :)<br /><br />Josie, thanks so much!!! That makes me think of Midas! I'm so glad that I kept writing, even when the books didn't sell, and now have them to revise and can sell them myself. I'm so glad I kept submitting in the meantime. And no matter what, I keep learning how to do it better. We just can't ever give up!<br /><br />Years ago, I wondered why I did this to myself--why I kept submitting to get rejected. But then I knew the truth. I can't not write. And I knew someday...one of the books would catch hold. And then I'd know it was all worth it. :)<br /><br />Thanks, Dawn!!! Others before me inspired me to keep writing to fulfill the dream of publication. I was inspired by their stories and was glad to hear of their successes, knowing if I kept pursuing publication, I'd make it too. <br /><br />Before I started self-publishing, I didn't just jump into it, but read about several others who have made a success at this. So I decided to do it, not sure if I would be a success at it, but like anything else, you won't know until you try, and couldn't love it more!!

Yes I have so many ideas in my head and four books written half or third way, but where on earth do you get the time with a full-time job? <br /><br />I don't have a full time job anymore but I am often taking care of my grandchildren, or having visitors at home or traveling. I've asked for one week of complete freedom as Christmas gift!<br /><br /><br />I also think that you are so successful because you already built a large readership.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-13962223805485728242011-07-26T10:51:19.584-04:002011-07-26T10:51:19.584-04:00You inspire me, Terry.

Your multi-genre writing--following your passion of the moment--is a great lesson. <br /><br />I have a futuristic story premise which came to me in one huge brain dump. I've never considered that genre before. Now might be the time to open the folder and let fly!Sheila Tenoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549721256331896612noreply@blogger.com
