One day when the publishing industry settles and the dust has cleared, we'll reveal to the world some of our predictions--and the crystal ball we used to conjur up some of the things we've invested our humorous-clad time developing.
On a more serious side to the writing business, it is truly the best of times and the worst of times to be published. Depending on the route taken. For me, promoting is like busting through doors not having a clue what's on the other side. I've screamed, I've laughed, and I have almost fainted from the costs that I'm seeing being funneled from writer's pockets. This is a tough business and should not be entered into lightly. Savvy is the word needed here. Very savvy!
Would I do anything else with my life? Don't think so. You see, I am a writer...a mystery writer driven to do just that--write.
For anyone who loves to read, my book, The Scent of Money
My Steven is asleep and all four of our dogs, who are our fur-kids are nodding off...so shall I.
Happy Trails,

Love you posts!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think it's the best of times to be a writer. We have more control over our work than ever before!!
The Future is NOW!
Yes, it is...to both! Being a writer and the future is definitely here and excitment grows everyday for me watching all this unfold. (I'm wearing a HAPPY FACE)
