Monday’s
question and my answer. What do you want most from being a published author?
Money, fame, or recognition as a writer?
I want
recognition as a writer most. Fame as in ‘hey, I've seen her face on a book
jacket’ is a close second.

I've made zero progress on my wip :(
As for what's helped me the most I'd have to say entering the blogosphere which connected me to other writers and, most importantly, those who would become my future crit partners.
I've made 0 on everything.

Posts – 0. I think I'm going to skip Wednesday and just post on Thursday this week.
Comments on other blogs--around 8
Blog Tour Posts 3 more completed giving me 13/34 and 4 drafts
I also forgot to answer the questions. From yesterday--I want it all! (Do you hear a Queen song in your head?) I do want it all in this order--recognition, fame and money.
The thing that's helped me the most is critiquing others work. It helps me see what I need to work on as well.
My answer to yesterday's question is any of them. Most of all I just want to be able to say "You can buy it on Amazon" when someone asks to read my novel. In the meantime, I'll let you read Legacy, Huntress, if you feel like critiquing it. Seriously.
Day two rumble:
_Dear Katherine_: I got critiques from the helpful folks at Critters so I revised the first few chapters. 60 words added and lots to think about in terms of characterization.
_The Legacy of the Eye_: Revised yesterdays revisions. About 50 words. Need to leave the novel alone.
Posts: none.
Comments: 3 (including this one), but I also thanked the 3 Critters who sent me crits.
Today's question: I love the critique help I got here and on Critters. I'm also learning a lot from reading blogs like Storyfix, WordPlay, Magical Words, and Romance University.

No editing
The most help has come from critique groups and critique partners.

CPs are amazing creatures. Definitely in the priceless category. *finger pointing at YOU*
Oh WELL. Kinda got something going on this week dontcha?
love Queen.
Wah HO! Good word count.
I tried Critters but had too much trouble with spam. *sigh* It seems like a great site
And another thing:
PM to you
Love my CPs! (you know who you are)
I haven't gotten spam from them, just 2 e-mails a week plus the 3 crit requests I asked for when I signed up. Most of the time I just look through the list, instead of working on the ones I receive. The submissions I sent did not return many crits (most people prefer short stories), but I did get 5 people to read the entire novel.
I didn't get the other thing, but Blogger ate my e-mail link. It's fixed now, so let me know if you have trouble.
Currently taking a break since I wrote my NaNo. Will start editing it soon (probably the next day I have off I'll get a big start on it).
I've gotten the most help out of Brandon Sanderson's lectures at Write About Dragons. A close second is all the books I've read, such as Plot vs Character and The Fire in Fiction. I need to check out On Writing soon.
And I would love all three, in this order: recognition, money, fame. That's right, I care more about buying a house than having people recognize me from my cover jacket! :P But that would be cool, too, I can see where you're coming from there.
