Great article! Anyone looking for a shortcut to publishing is on the wrong road.

I agree.

Worth a read. Fortunately, I don't think there are any "short cut" folks that post here but maybe some who lurk.

Just from a casual reading of this forum, I would say there a few "short cut" folks who post here but I won't name names because I might just be misreading them.

There are some who keep up full steam ahead. I hope they are doing well. I have read most of their books and most are well-written, even if self-published. Some on this forum are very prolific novel writers. Others, like me, are two-novel wonders Very Happy
