Yeah, it’s that kind of day. Seriously, people. Writing agents, promoters, and publishers do not need to cold-call or spam to get business. They are drowning in submissions without having to do so. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t sending out so many rejection letters. #publishing #writing

Looking good, so far. Time to start work on “Coins of Destiny 3”. auteureist.com/CoD/ #writing #book

I just got “The Cat and the Warlock” back from the editor. Only minor changes needed. I should be able to deal with them in the next day or two. #writing #editing

“When all is lost, you can’t lose anything by dancing.” #writing

Writing isn’t about selling copies. Yes, I know it’s blasphemy to many. Most write in the hope they make money, make a list, become famous. Choose your goals wisely. Success is not limited. #writing #publishing #success
