Thank you for this post. It is good...Rhiannon,<br /> Thank you for this post. It is good to get the utter, awful truth about the publishing industry... but it can start to really beat you down. A person needs to hear the good with the bad, get the carrot sometimes and not the lash.<br /> I am working my way through my first real novel and reading voraciously other books in the genre along with books on writing and publishing (your series As The World Dies were the first zombie books I picked, and the best I've yet read).<br /> Sometimes I find myself simply brimming with optimism, and at others, struggling with the weight of the knowledge that the chances of becoming a successful, published author are slim.<br /> On this day where the sky is loaded, the thunder rumbling and the rain hitting my windows like pebbles, you gave me a carrot.<br /> Thank you,<br />-- JoshuaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372960864825298990noreply@blogger.com
