I think that would be a true statement for any of the arts--music, dance, theater, etc.<br /><br />Well-said!Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930730661273079224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-37549366134011054292012-01-02T17:30:09.369-05:002012-01-02T17:30:09.369-05:00Good for you!

It is a short story, 18,000 words, give or take. I'm doing two more in the series this year and bundling them together as a set once the third one is done.Jill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754506629717417267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-83774132087367044232012-01-02T15:54:58.526-05:002012-01-02T15:54:58.526-05:00Wow.

Do readers not seem to care anymore when a book is self-published? I suppose attitudes are changing which is a good thing in our industry.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-20196817146349677312012-01-02T15:43:34.517-05:002012-01-02T15:43:34.517-05:00I was so thrilled last year to get a contract for ...I was so thrilled last year to get a contract for Tempting Adam. Seeing my lifelong dreams come true threw me off my stride for awhile. It was like 'my dreams came true, now what?' LOL So I self-published last year too and sold 4 times the amount of books my first book did. That was super-exciting.<br /><br />This year I want to write MORE. Spend more time writing and not as much networking and emailing. I want this to be a job. One I enjoy tremendously, but a job nonetheless.Jill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754506629717417267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-28497568501709551072012-01-02T14:00:36.537-05:002012-01-02T14:00:36.537-05:00Yes, ladies, please follow Mona.
