It's all too easy for us ickle aspiring writers to get caught up in our friends/forums/great-aunt Sue's effusive declarations we'll be The Next JKR... I found this gem http://www.ian-irvine.com/publishing.html a while ago and now quote it incessantly! <br /><br />(Seriously, how did 'author' become synonymous with 'millionaire' in the first place?? It can't JUST be JKR... <br />"What do you do?" "Oh, I'm studying politics." "Cool! You better remember who your real friends are when you're US President!!!" <br />*bewildered face* Where is the connection?)<br /><br />/rant :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-38285630354989496112012-03-30T01:51:31.827-05:002012-03-30T01:51:31.827-05:00This is a really informative blog!

I do plan to go professional one day, but I don't imagine I'll ever be living off my writing as you and many others are, lol.<br /><br />Knowing that I should just save whatever I make, whether it's a couple thousand or a couple hundred thousand, and keeping myself occupied with work elsewhere will prepare me for the long (and clearly tough!) road ahead for a published author.<br /><br />And I never knew I had so many Rights to my work! I'm so hanging on to as many rights as I can.Stormhowlhttp://bearionstudios.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467549889510324132.post-40598469935100711492012-03-19T20:33:21.416-05:002012-03-19T20:33:21.416-05:00Aww, thanks!
