So many opportunities for those like you with the dedication and ability to consistently produce. I struggle to write one short story a year, let alone get it submitted to an anthology.<br /><br />.......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-78596326244046885502013-03-22T21:13:39.967-05:002013-03-22T21:13:39.967-05:00Alex:

Wouldn't it be nice to have enough money to write or to sing your songs?<br /><br />Angela:<br />At least I have the last name for Yeoman work! Now, to do work to earn that name, right? Those Indie success stories give us hope though!<br /><br />Terry:<br />I try to keep my thinking cap on to come up with unique angles to breathe new life into my novels! I'm sure you do, too!!<br /><br />Richard:<br />I've worked hard to position myself to have the backlist to take advantage of whatever lightning comes my way. Timing and luck. A hard duo to come by these days! :-)<br /><br />Shelly:<br />Thank you so much for those kind words about my writing -- what with the uneasy, unstable environment at work, those words did help.<br /><br />I hope you are enjoying the last 10% of THREE SPIRIT KNIGHT. The struggle to defeat SHE WHO BREEDS is at fever-pitch as I recall the ending. I liked writing the character of Coyote. How do you like my interpretation of him?<br /><br />And it tickled me to have Victor becoming both the Champion of the Goddess Mercy and the living Embodiment of Sarcasm. What a pairing, right? :-)Roland D.
