My biggest complaint is that I don't have enough time in the day, but that being said. Some of the things your have to do to make your book the success you want it to be costs money, and when your work on a zero budget, then get creative! It can still be done, it's much harder, but like I've said before, it's all about learning!<br />Hi, Chrys. I think I'm caught up now!

I can't seem to stop or slow down.<br /><br />@Misha, you're right no one has to get an agent. But those who want to be published traditionally in one of those big publishing houses have better luck with it if they have an agent. I don't have an agent and I'm published traditionally with a small press. But I am looking for an agent for a project that I want to sell to a bigger company.<br /><br />@Diedre, our focus can sure stray. I'll see if I can come up with something. ;)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-67911809910634955472016-03-22T14:21:49.506-05:002016-03-22T14:21:49.506-05:00A terrific lecture, lady Chrys;-) Who doesn't ...A terrific lecture, lady Chrys;-) Who doesn't need a reminder or a nudge once in awhile?

In fact, I'm rather disaffected with the whole trade publishing industry at the moment. But I think I put ten times as much work into my writing and editing now compared to when I was querying.

It's for writers who may not be all-together lazy but scared about certain things when it comes to publishing. I think you may fall under that category. You're welcome for the candor. And the swift kick. ;)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-83489527730814025702016-03-21T12:53:47.064-05:002016-03-21T12:53:47.064-05:00Oh, I'm lazy all right.

I need blanket letters like this blog post to help me realize I won't be satisfied just writing for myself.

Partially because I never invested the time to find out, partially because I think I'm not good enough, and partially because I let life get in the way. But this post is exactly what I need. I need a swift kick once in a while. Because I want to get my book(s) published.<br /><br />I appreciate the candour. It's well received.<br /><br />PS - Stopping over from Write with FeyJeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.com
