To Plot...My Story

.

Nice story, Sue.

It sounds like a lot of fun.

I always have a lot of faith in the stuff that just pops into my head in the moring like that.

A BIG question I would ask you, and anybody who is doing their own publishing is this: isn't it more fun this way?

I mean, if would be nice just having somebody give me a hundred thousand dollar advance and tell me to go write something else while they take care of everything. And I'm still working on that.

But you miss a lot of fun by not doing the hands-on stuff yourself. And learning what goes into things. A friend of mine once said, "I like to do anything I can at least once before I pay somebody else to do it for me. If nothing else, I appreciate what I'm paying for."

You've gottten a lot more out of this than somebody who just tossed their MS into the hopper at Vantage or iUniverse or whatever.

Good luck

Yes, Lin, it has been fun. It really has! I am so glad I learned what I did. It would be nice, though, to be able to pass my next ms on to someone else and continue writing instead of always having something take me away from it.

Wow. That's quite a story, Sue. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for sharing that Sue. Great to see how it all came together for you, and a glimpse at how it can work.
Congratulations!!

Sue,
you have just proven once again that a person with a dream - a goal, and with persistence, can achieve it.
Congratulations.
