I mean, seriously, lady -- you are now a traditionally multi-published writer, which is far more than most writers can say. So take a bow. And pretty soon you'll find more success.<br /><br />I've only read one Sue Grafton novel, but I was impressed by it and enjoyed it.

While I was able to have my first novel commercially published, mistakes/missteps on my part ultimately doomed it to an early rights reversion.<br /><br />So we're starting all over again and by using the lessons learned the 1st time around, we hope to have something of a niche in the future.<br /><br />But like you, I have to work this all in while earning the monies needed to keep me living in the lifestyle I'm accustomed to: middle class.<br /><br /><a href="http://gbmjrflashy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Father Nature's Corner</a>G.

And the TV blaring in the other room. And husband loud on the phone with someone. I'm not sure it's sunk in all you said, but I think it was a lot of good stuff. Good for you for having a plan. Mine is to stay sane and find a good ale house. I think that's what you said :)Carol Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745686632918324803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-5597414272307692882014-11-03T16:45:24.026-05:002014-11-03T16:45:24.026-05:00So far my plan has been something akin to Plan 9 f...So far my plan has been something akin to Plan 9 from Outer Space--really bad with some cheap special effects and a wandering storyline.<br /><br />Maybe the day job is your hindrance, but of course if that's what helps pay the bills then you're in a quandary. <br /><br />I say become notorious for the name recognition. Try not to go to prison or anything, but do something that really attracts attention to yourself.

I queried 43 agents for my latest book and not a single one would even look at a few chapters, so I'll self-publish it. And though I think it's a good book, it'll probably sell poorly because it won't be noticed. I think it would make a great movie. Oh well. Maybe someday things will change!Ted Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022309459554237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-72876307828357795792014-11-03T10:38:18.280-05:002014-11-03T10:38:18.280-05:00I'm still trying to figure out how to jump-sta...I'm still trying to figure out how to jump-start a writing career.<br /><br />The Corset Cop Chronicles sounds like your style, Hart.L.

If you can do that in the mysteries, you got 'er! I like this corset babe -her age (why is that, Jan? ) her sassyness, the bit of dark.
