Having been on both sides of the fence, I know it is more fun to believe the fantasy of a charmed author's life, but the reality is ... writing is hard work, and selling your writing is even harder. So the faster newbie authors suck it up and face reality, the faster they can get busy doing what needs to be done to reach their goals. A lot of it is luck, or being at the right place at the right time, or knowing someone on the inside, but some people actually do get a break. The sad fact is, those breaks are few and far between, and most people's odds of being one of those lucky authors is about as good as getting hit by lightning.Penumbra Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029755714841711031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510182515140078180.post-37375795436504377142009-10-19T16:01:09.560-05:002009-10-19T16:01:09.560-05:00This is absolutely fantastic advice.
