This is frustrating, as I need to get somewhere with my writing as soon as I can, due to extreme poverty , so it's unfortunate that my WIP is only half-finished & that my completed work is less mainstream than Ariele. Ok, thanks for letting me ramble on . Anyone else get things backwards as I typically do? Steve Jensen: Journal http://stevenjensen.wordpress.com The Black Glove: http://the-black-glove.blogspot.com/

No doubt you're right, Frank. To be honest though, I'm hoping that any success I might have will help my family (who are struggling to get by) and not just me.

Maybe being a slave, but that would be the only thing harder from which to show a profit. The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality. - George Bernard Shaw

I'd start from the top of the chain of popular publishers and work your way down. Will myspace.com/wbuddah Last Edited By: William Sheffield 08/01/09 10:05:37. Edited 1 times.
